MADRID, 15 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Villarreal prevailed (0-1) this Thursday in their visit to English Aston Villa, thanks to a solitary goal from Étienne Capoue, in a friendly match in which the ‘yellow submarine’ players met their former coach Unai Emery, current villains technician.
In his penultimate friendly preparation before returning to the official competition, Quique Setién drew a team full of headlines on the field, where he also highlighted the early return of Pau Torres and Yeremy Pino, both Spanish internationals, and the reappearance of Senegalese Nico Jackson , after playing the World Cup in Qatar.
A cross shot from the French midfielder in the second half was enough for the ‘submarine’ to add a prestigious victory at Villa Park. The next friendly match for the Castellón team will be on Saturday, December 17 against Napoli at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium (8:30 p.m.).
