Errors punish a good Villarreal

Once again, it could not be for Villarreal. Unai Emery’s team fell again against Manchester United in a game perhaps unfair because of what they experienced during the 90 minutes, but in which, as always, the success in front of goal is rewarded. And in that art, Cristiano Ronaldo has no rival.

The Portuguese turned the Estadio de La Cerámica upside down in the final stretch of a crash that was a real torture for the yellow submarine. Sancho would finish finishing it in the last moments, in a new excessive punishment for the Castellón team, far superior from the beginning. It was De Gea the differential value and the man of the match, with two great interventions, who knew how to hold on until that moment to a team that seemed asleep and scared until the appearance of Bruno Fernandes, substitute in Carrick’s first appointment on the bench as coach interim.

It was a great night for Villarreal. The tile table was played a lot and the fans responded with a full house at the Estadio de La Cerámica, expectant and excited about the return of that beautiful music from the Champions League. The opportunity was perfect, with a great rival who arrived quite touched. The English coach recognized it on the day before the important clash and it was evident from the first moments.

The respect between them was enormous. The groguet were not wrinkled, with very clear ideas and carrying the weight of the meeting. It was not, however, the incisive set of other encounters, with Yéremy Pino and Danjuma far from their best form. The auction was found in the boots of Trigueros, who starred in the two best options to overtake Emery’s on the scoreboard. De Gea was once again the stone on which the English team leaned, as happened in the first leg, with two excellent interventions. Particularly important was the second, which kept United’s face just before Bruno Fernandes went on the field.

The great Portuguese midfielder played at La Cerámica for about 25 minutes, with a radical change in the game of Manchester United that until then had not disturbed Rulli. Until then, a blurred image of Van de Beek was at the mercy of a good Villarreal. The English team thanked him, which grew and began to press higher, leading to a failure of understanding between the Argentine goalkeeper and Capoue at the exit of the ball that Cristiano Ronaldo would not forgive. The local team did not react, sunk in the face of adversity and the good moment of the ‘red devils’, who would end up sentencing in the last moments through Sancho and an excellent combination in attack.
