Villarreal looks in the mirror of 04-05 to go to the Champions League

Villarreal CF is not having a good start to the season, since the team occupies the middle area of ​​the table with 15 points after twelve rounds (They have a postponed match). A campaign start in which the team is further than expected of the noble places of the leaderboard, a goal that was originally the initial goal of this squad. And it is that Emery’s team is six and eight points away from the European places after a third of the season, which forces them to react now if they want to be in that fight.

The good news for the yellow team is that it is not the first time that the team has faced a challenge like this and they have been able to reach the European places, recovering the points lost at a bad start. A) Yes, the team was able to finish third in the table in the 04-05 season, when on matchday twelve the team’s situation was more or less the same as it is now. And it is that that campaign with Pellegrini at the helm, the team added fourteen points after twelve rounds, with three victories, five draws and four defeats. After that start the team finished the season third in the table, adding a total of sixty-five points in total. While in this campaign the team adds fifteen points in those twelve days, with a series almost identical to that of that season, since they have added three victories, six draws and three defeats.

With that, the team will need a great second part of the season of the highest level to be able to achieve that goal, forced to add almost 60% of the remaining points to return to cherish the European dream.
