Juve-Villarreal, Parejo folds Celta Vigo

Villarreal cancels the defeat against Osasuna and prepares in the best way possible for the Champions League trip to Turin by beating Celta 1-0, a team with which they had lost at home in the last three matches. After a bad first part, another goal by Parejo was decisive in the 64th minute and a double intervention by Rulli and Mandi in the final. Good performance by Emery’s team, who sleeps in sixth place at -3 from the Champions zone.

CHECK-UP

–

This is the situation of Villarreal: there was talk of a possible call-up of Gerard Moreno, absent since February 6, but the attacker was not even brought to the bench: it is very difficult to think that he can play in Turin. Also in strong doubt Foyth, also out today, and also missing the fundamental Capoue for a low back pain. The French should recover. While Alberto Moreno, who ruptured a ligament in his knee, is obviously out of action.

TRAINING

–

Compared to the team defeated in Pamplona by Osasuna, Emery has changed 3 of the four men in the wing: outside Yeremi Pino and Estupiñan as well as the injured Alberto Moreno, inside Chukwueze, Pedraza and Trigueros, only Aurier confirmed. He iborra in place of Capoué, with Lo Celso always adapted to play the center forward.

WITHOUT SHOTS

–

Celta had won their last 3 games at the Estadio de la Ceramica and are fighting for a place in Europe. Villarreal evidently had their heads in Turin, and the game ran off without jolts. In the first half two conclusions in all, both oversized, by the hosts, close to scoring with a header with Chukwueze and with a goal canceled in Lo Celso for an obvious offside.

LIVE SHOOTING

–

The second half was different, which opened with a series of excellent opportunities: Pedraza saved on a shot by Iago Aspas and then committed Dituro in the other area, a nice diagonal from Brais Mendez finished just outside and Danjuma did not hit well a great invitation of the usual Pedraza, who then wasted an inviting cross from Aurier by shooting very high from an excellent position.

HEEL AND GOAL

–

At 64 ‘the goal: Danjuma on the left bowl for Trigueros who in the position of center forward serves Parejo with a creative heel strike. The final shot is not irresistible, a duck from Dituro propitiates the 1-0, goal number 35 at Villarreal, the La Liga team that scores the most in front of their audience. To celebrate Parejo, one who scores little but who also scored against Juventus, waves a shirt with a dedication to Alberto Moreno. The changes slowed the pace but in the 90th minute an error by Parejo launched Iago Aspas: a miracle by Rulli, a corner and an incredible rescue by the Algerian Aissa Mandi on a sure shot by Santi Mina. Villarreal lucky and victorious.
