The Villarreal Manager believes his team were very close to beating Espanyol
Villarreal Manager, Fran Escribá, said that his team were very close to winning against Espanyol in a match that finished in a goalless draw. “We created enough chances to win the match. We dictated the tempo of the game, but I’m left with a bitterness about the fact that we did not take advantage of any of the opportunities we had. The few times they created any danger came from us losing the ball”.
For the Manager, his team sent out a great image: “Diego López made a few good saves. We created danger with Castillejo, Jonathan, Soriano. The feelings are that we had six chances in the box that could have gone in”.
With regard to the change of formation, Escribá valued the fact that the team showed how solid they were playing with a lone striker: “I want the team to know how to play in every way. It’s great to stay undefeated, but I’m a bit bitter that some of the draws could have been wins, two or three points that could have us placed higher up”.
Next weekend there will not be a LaLiga match. “.The team is in very good condition physically. We changed up the team, but even those that played on Thursday looked fresh. The league break will do the players good, to have a few more days off and be fresh to face the next challenge”.
