Villarreal
Villarreal has a date with history this Wednesday, April 27, when they face Liverpool in the first leg of the Champions League semifinals. The Yellow Submarine is experiencing its best season since the 2006 team, a squad that came very close to reaching the final in Paris against Barcelona. While Unai Emery trusts in the game of his players, he knows that he will be up against one of the best teams in the world.
“The Liverpool has now an updated and improved version. It finds certain excellences in some footballers, it is a team that runs very well into spaces, with a high intensity to recover the ball and now it has players who have a combinatorial level, something they have accumulated with Thiago, with the presence of Mané cutting inside and with the arrival of Luis Díaz, who gives them dribbling and presence inside in combinatorial terms,” explained the Spanish coach in a press conference.
In addition, the former Sevilla coach recalled that final where he defeated the Reds and highlighted the evolution of that team with the current one. “They are at their best moment, I remember when in 2016 we played that Europa League final with Sevilla, and now in 2022 it is a team that has grown through the patience and leadership of their coach. It is a Liverpool similar to their coach, with a smile, with joy, with energy,” he said.
