Villarreal: Pacetta’s first moves and the headache for Diaz

THE Panathinaikos may have the away match with him as a priority Panetolico for its 4th matchday Stoiximan Super Leaguehowever, he also gives his first game in the group stage of the Europa League to the… caps.

Because next Thursday (21/09), the “greens” welcome to OAKA the Villarreal in the match that opens the curtain of the group stage in the second European competition.

With the “yellow submarine” showing that it is in a transitional stage, especially since taking over the technical leadership of the Spanish club Patchet. Her new technician Villarreal he is now on the edge of the team’s bench, while he has experience from the Spanish league, but not from Europe.

THE Patchet he likes to build more compact teams, which rely quite a bit on their tactical approach and often appear cynical. First the result and then the image, could be the saying that follows him in his career.

Somehow, already according to the Spanish journalists, the 55-year-old wants to improve the defensive function of his team. This is his main concern as he sees her Villarreal to concede at the start of the season three goals per average. THE Villarreal has the worst start in its history as it has conceded 9 goals in the first 4 matches, resulting in 3 losses and 1 win.

Beginning with the match with Almeria, the “yellow submarine” is expected to appear more… compact and aiming for a “professional” victory. By Patchet to have fully understood where he is and what he must do, according to what he declares.

“The experiences keep coming. I came to a very important club, with a president who has been in charge for 26 years, longer than any other in LaLiga. So, it is clear that this is a stable club. It is a model for other clubs, financially viable and above all stable. I am fully aware of the club’s ambition and demands, as well as mine. If the players believe it, we will achieve great things”he emphasized.

“I have to make my players believe. To improve and help them win. If we do that and win, then everything will start to get better. We need to improve our performance”he added.

His tenure, however, in Villarreal it starts with a blow, which remains to be seen whether it is serious or not. Because the Ben Brereton Diaz was injured in Chile’s match against Colombia, making him doubtful for Almeria and Panathinaikos. The 24-year-old winger, who can also play as a forward, felt discomfort and left as a forced substitution.

He appeared reassuring, but in the “yellow submarine” they are on hot coals and they are waiting for the footballer to return to the team to undergo extra tests to determine the extent of his injury.

“I had a knock but I feel good, it’s nothing serious. I was tired, I felt a little pain, but it’s nothing major”he claimed, but it remains to be seen in practice.
