Unai's Submarine finally beeps

Villarreal is already, at times, when it does not falter or relax, the one expected after the transfer market ended. After a start with some doubts as a result of those things of the move and the adaptation, he accumulates seven consecutive games without losing, he shoots up to third place in the classification and his football is finally proportional to the quality of his squad. Against Valladolid, especially in the first half, he did almost everything Emery dreams of: he was dominating, aggressive in pressure and forceful in both areas. Valladolid, bottom, paid the best version of the Submarine in that arreón and, now, it begins to turn on the four indicators. More than because of the points that he has in eight days, which also, because he left La Cerámica with the feeling that he is denied. In the end, he deserved more.

Villarreal returned to 4-4-2 because Gerard, once recovered, deserves that the world revolve around him and change whatever it takes. Moi Gómez benefited from the new drawing, who played freely between the lines. The retouching of the slate took Kubo out of the lineup and enlivened the ingenuity of Chukwueze, who scored the first goal (21 ') from Pedraza's pass, that does the hundred-meter dash over and over again without the need to mess up. The goal gave Villarreal the poise that it sometimes lacks. It triangulated faster than ever and with unremembered precision. Valladolid, applied by covering spaces, limited itself to bailing water without knowing what to do with the ball when it ever paid attention to it. The second goal (37 ') ended up depressing him. Moi threw a corner that Alcácer prolonged with his head at the near post and Pau crushed. This is how it came to rest. With the impression that Villarreal aspires to everything and with the confirmation that, if 2020 is being a martyrdom for everyone, the 2021 that is coming to Valladolid does not invite you to smile.

Sergio was forced to move the tree and made a couple of changes behind the scenes. His occurrence changed everything. The drive of Hervías and Marcos André, together with the relaxation of the Submarine, made the main roles change completely. Despite the fact that Alcaraz is far from what it was, that Michel finds it difficult to command and Orellana overflow, he began to appear in the area. Villarreal seemed left over. But it only seemed so. She reclined when it suited her and squeezed at the moment when her body asked her for more joy. Looking at the bench and seeing such arsenal also encourages that cheek. Weissman then took advantage of the interwar period to warn Asenjo. And instantly Gerard remembered that he does not want to waste time heading to the Euro. He scored with his head but Alberola Rojas, after reviewing the play on the monitor, canceled a header with the smell of sentence. The forward's hands on Joaquín gave him away. Emery was restless. Therefore, he began to refresh his legs and ideas. Playing every four days decreases. His decisions did not weigh much in the rest of a match that Gerard and Kubo were able to finish off, at the same time as Kike and Marcos André crashed two balls into the wood that could give emotion. It didn't matter: what happened in the first half had turned the second into a mere training session.

Sergio: “The one in the second part is the way”

Valladolid coach Sergio González commented at a press conference after his team's defeat against Villarreal that the version that theirs offered in the second half is the path they must follow in order to get out of the complicated situation in which they find themselves as bottom of the category.

“We looked at each other at the break and we told ourselves that we could not continue like this. In the first half it was not us, we were far from competing and from being the team we should be. While the second is the one we want Valladolid “, assured.

“There is much left, but we cannot be the one in the first half, we must be the one in the second half, that's the way. That is the first stone and from there we must continue to seek to get out from below. We must go out onto the field as we did in the second half, “he insisted.

Sergio acknowledged that although they work well during the week “The game arrives and doubts arrive. At the beginning you come out gripped, you leave with doubts and it is complicated. We must be aware that we are last, but we must forget it in the field. “

Asked about his continuity at the head of the team, he pointed out that “during the week it has already been talked about, the players look me in the face and think that I am the one who can get them out of there. The club transfers confidence to me, they want me to I got out, and that gives me strength and excites me. I think I can remove it and that it only takes one click to change this. But I can see that confidence from everyone. “
