Jackson and Gerard, two yellow saints

Villarreal continues its triumphal march through europe. Submarino’s fourth win in five games. This time in England against a Premier like Southamptonwith a mix of starters and substitutes, Emery’s group emerged victorious again with goals from Yeremy and Gerard. At this point, wins are not worth points but the habit of winning is acquired with victories. So what the ‘Saints’ did not make it easy. With suffocating pressure for 75 minutes (until his strength lasted) They overwhelmed Reina and the central defenders. It was a continuous ‘ouch’ but it was worth it a good training session for when teams appear in the league that press up high at the ball exit.

Emery opted for a eleven less usual to face Southampton. Of course, he lined up a heavyweight per line: Pauin defense; Capua, in the medullary; Y Gerard, in the front. The first goal was signed by two of the meritorious. Jacksonwho has already overtaken Dia and of course Alcácer, dead ball found, in his field and centimeters from going out of bounds. The front he hooked her and proposed a 50-meter race, bodying with another bull, to Bella-Kotchap. And the Senegalese came out victorious who, still strong, put her in the area. Bednarek arrived with an advantage, due to position and physique, but Jeremy was very smart. He threw himself on the plate and sent it to the nethead.

Southampton, more grounded, turned their pressure one more time. Y he was about to surprise the Submarine who, practiced over and over again, the ball exit: Reina, Capoue, Reina and to the side… This is how the first line of pressure jumped. Even so, Armstrong had it, with a shot at the far post, from a pass from Ward-Prowsewhich went outside the Reina goal net.

after the break, the English, in addition to pressing, took possession. And the chances came. First Djenepo stood alone before Queen, which he resolved in one against one and showed that he has returned for much more than to animate the parties. Nevertheless, nothing could do to stop Aribo’s ridewho picked up a bad pass from Gerard in his own field and sometimes by luck, and others by quality, he was dodging yellow players until he decided to put her in the squad. In the midst of the ‘Aribo gale’, the winger hit Reina with his head but he was offside, luckily for Villarreal.

Gerard I knew that I had messed it up at 1-1 and wanted to get even. She did soon. Pau advanced with the ball under control, found between the lines Baena who put it on Gerard where all his life. Uncheck diagonally between the right center and the lateral, left-footed shot next to the post and goal. Gerard is indeed a saint. With the 1-2, he loosened the pressure of Southampton. Emery made Kiko Femenía debut, after having spent only a few hours in Vila-real. He hardly intervened and when he had to play it, it was not complicated. It was not about convincing in ten minutesHe has three years ahead of him. Another win. After the game, heading to London. Tomorrow they will play again against another Premier, el Fulhamat 4:00 p.m., at Craven Cottage.
