Villarreal | Copa del Rey The yellow technician emphasizes that against Levante there will be a battle
Villarreal CF
Unai emery He is more seasoned than his rival in games in which the tension increases. The technician is not new to a Cup quarter-final. His experience is a degree, but even so, he does not see an unbalanced tie, far from it. “I see it at 50%, I do not dare to say that they are or we are. We are both equally excited and they play at home, and that is always differential. To this is added the streak they have, which is very positive And it gives them a lot of confidence. They also have good players who put us in complications, their games are always very difficult. I have it at 50% and it will be a very even game. “
“We know each other very well and it is true that the relationship is very good between the clubs; we have and I have a lot of appreciation for Paco and the players know each other a lot. But we are enemies and we owe ourselves to a shield and the possibility of playing a semi-final, for what a very tough and demanding match for sure.
“It is time to see what risks can be taken, the decision is aimed at performance and possible risks. Foyth, Gerard, Capoue and Yeremi are doubtless, so we will wait and see tomorrow what may or may not be.”
“It is a short competition, we both have a good track record and we are both motivated. Both teams have been dominant and we want to reach that semi-final, so it is a great opportunity. I see the group aware of what it means to fight for a title , so tomorrow is one more step. “
“We are going to look for an eleven with the virtues and characteristics that have made us strong. Having possession and being dangerous at the top, to which we must add that we must adapt to them. They have possession, they are dangerous at the top, and have quality players. The key is to see which team is capable of imposing its virtues, they have them and so do we. We must be prepared for everything, they are going to demand and hurt us in many moments of the game, so we must face it. and seek to impose our potential and our quality.
“The kids are in the team dynamics, they are progressing and they should continue like this. Now that we have doubts about the problems of some players, they are the ones who should help, but it is something they have already done. We must continue to grow in it.
“They are regulars with a very strong idea of the game, good touch and ball control, and with good quality players at the top. As I said, the matches have been very even, so we expect the same idea and the same style. The last game they were close to complicating us and that leads us to think about that equality. That is the game that I hope, a very even game. “
“From the satisfaction that the club was willing to improve the squad to the needs. They did it in summer with Estupin and in winter with Iborra. Take’s departure left us with the feeling that we were short and the injuries accelerated it. The final feeling we have is that we have tried, we were looking to improve and by not closing, then to thank the club for the willingness and the work done. I have no complaints and I think we have players with whom we can solve this situation. Raba asked me if I should I went out and told him that we were counting on him, but that it was his decision, and he decided to stay. “
