Álvaro González was chosen as the Mahou Five Star Player for his superb performance against Granada CF (2-0). Villarreal CF’s Cantabrian defender was considered to be the best player of the match as he scored the second goal and provided the assist for Bruno Soriano to score the first. Mahou, sponsor of the club, promotes this award.
The centre back assured that the most important thing is teamwork: “We were going for the win, we needed the three points against a side that needed them too”. Villarreal kicked off the second round of games with a home win at the Estadio de la Cerámica and a clean sheet. Álvaro highlighted the team’s great defensive work: “This team is strong because of our defensive work, not just the back line but the work of the whole team. It was really important to keep a clean sheet to make our chances count up top. We had to be strong and get back to keeping a clean sheet, we did that and at the end were able to win”.
