Unai Emery congratulated his side for their great performance at Balaídos

Villarreal head coach Unai Emery appeared in front of the media in a remote press conference to analyse the Yellows’ convincing 0-4 win over RC Celta (0-4): “It’s a convincing victory, which gives us confidence to continue to grow. Celta are an opponent for whom we have a lot of respect, and who have recently had very good results at home. They had important players missing, but we couldn’t be sure. We put in a great performance and neutralised them, which helped us win.”

For the Basque manager, his team’s pressing was key: “It was something we worked on, and something we wanted to improve. Today we pressed aggressively against an opponent who were trying to play out from the back, and it worked perfectly for us. We made the most of their errors, using the spaces they left open, and that was the difference today.”

Finally, he underlined the good sensations the team has at the momento, after three wins in a row in all competitions: “We’re trying to be demanding of ourselves. We want to fight for the European spots. In that fight, there are a lot of top teams, such as Real Sociedad and Sevilla. We needed to get a few wins after the draws we had last month. This win puts us in a good position in LaLiga, with 32 points with one match left in the first round of fixtures.”
