Villarreal manager Unai Emery, affirmed that Osasuna, the rival that his team will face in El Sadar this Saturday, is a very intense team at home, so he will propose a match “very complicated” and before whom they already know what awaits them.
“It simply came to our notice then hard encounter because of that intensity and because of the environment they generate and that plays a lot in their favor, so we will have to control them individually and collectively. They also have a good set-piece game and are well worked on. We have a lot of respect for them,” added the Basque coach.
He agreed with the statements of his player Dani Parejo, who said this week that to be on top you have to earn a lot, so they are obliged to complete a great career until the end of the League. “With what has been done so far, we are close, but we are not there and although we are fine, we need to fight to the fullest because reaching Europe is very complicated,” he added.
Regarding the state of the template, he pointed out that Gerard Moreno he advances “with firm steps” towards his recovery, that it is a joy to see the evolution of Francis Coquelin and that Paco Alcácer is still injured in the calf, so he will not be able to be in Pamplona.
He highlighted the possibility of have more and more footballers although that complicates some aspects of management. “What you want is to have them all and now we are in that situation: we have resources and that is important. The more we have, the better, because that gives us security and confidence, although we cannot stop being alert,” he concluded.
