They control the ball, which leads you to get tired and lose your balance, and that\u2019s when they hurt you and they\u2019re vertical. We have to have more of the ball, which is one of our virtues, so I\u2019m sure that whoever has more of the ball and handles it better will have more chances of winning,\u201d he commented. For Pacheta, the latest victory in Europe has been good for the Submarine: \u201cWe\u2019ve come from two games in which we\u2019ve had positive results, I\u2019m never happy with a draw, but in Getafe I was satisfied. We defended very well there. And from the game the other day I was happy with the dramatic late penalty that Pepe saved, and the fantastic atmosphere in the stadium in the last few minutes. People saw that we have to suffer and that we have to adjust things to grow, but I think we are doing things well and we have to keep repeating that. That\u2019s the challenge we have.\u201d The coach from Burgos lamented the short recovery time his players will have: \u201cI don\u2019t mind playing every three days, what\u2019s more, this team is prepared to play every three days. This is a team that is used to doing that after playing in Europe for many years, but it\u2019s true that only a few hours have passed since the last game. If three clear days have not passed, there is a risk of injury and that the muscle has not recovered and can break. I see the players are much better, with much more tone, but it\u2019s true that we need to clean everything up in order to get the confidence we sometimes lack. I think we are growing in that aspect, and I see that the team is going to get there well.\u201d The objective is clear: \u201cOur path is to try to win every day, the routine of winning has to be done by winning and that\u2019s what we\u2019re doing. You can do things well, but in the end you have to win, which is what strengthens you as a team and makes the player better. If the player wins, it makes him believe in what he does and believe in you and in the work.\u201d To finish, Pacheta emphasised the good work done by his team in the last few games: \u201cI think the whole team is improving, I think we are now defending very closely together and deactivating the opposition. We still have to improve, to be more consistent for more minutes. We always have a few minutes when we\u2019re not consistent, minutes when the opposition put fear into us and don\u2019t make us hesitate. If you get that security back, the attacking players look more confident. It\u2019s true that the attacking line of three is the one that has more difficulties due to injuries and expulsions, but we\u2019re in a situation where we\u2019ll gradually recover our strength and little by little that line will also improve.\u201d","url":"","background_image":"","images":[],"videos":[],"links":[]}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pacheta sets out the path to win the match against UD Las Palmas","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":284304,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[13494],"tags":[13424,9201,13478,14767,15005,13791,15071,13496,13463,14481,9199,13482,13487],"acf":null,"lang":"en","essential_grid":{"has_grid":false},"formatted_date":"October 7, 2023","modified_date":"October 7, 2023","permalink":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/en\/fighting-for-the-ball\/","reading_time":3,"featured_media_data":{"id":284304,"title":"pache","caption":"","alt_text":"","description":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/pache.jpg","sizes":{"thumbnail":{"url":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/pache-1920x1080.jpg","width":1920,"height":1080},"medium":{"url":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/pache-1920x1080.jpg","width":1920,"height":1080},"medium_large":{"url":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/pache-768x432.jpg","width":768,"height":432},"large":{"url":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/pache-1920x1080.jpg","width":788,"height":443},"1536x1536":{"url":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/pache-1536x864.jpg","width":1536,"height":864},"2048x2048":{"url":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/pache.jpg","width":1920,"height":1080},"tp-image-grid":{"url":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/pache-700x700.jpg","width":700,"height":700},"size-bunyad-medium":{"url":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/pache-1920x1080.jpg","width":1920,"height":1080},"sportspress-crop-medium":{"url":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/pache-300x300.jpg","width":300,"height":300},"sportspress-fit-medium":{"url":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/pache-300x169.jpg","width":300,"height":169},"sportspress-fit-icon":{"url":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/pache-128x72.jpg","width":128,"height":72},"sportspress-fit-mini":{"url":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/pache-32x18.jpg","width":32,"height":18},"bunyad-small":{"url":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/pache-150x84.jpg","width":150,"height":84},"bunyad-medium":{"url":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/pache-450x253.jpg","width":450,"height":253},"bunyad-full":{"url":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/pache-1200x675.jpg","width":1200,"height":675},"bunyad-viewport":{"url":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/pache.jpg","width":1920,"height":1080},"bunyad-768":{"url":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/pache-768x432.jpg","width":768,"height":432},"full":{"url":"https:\/\/villarrealcf.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/pache.jpg","width":1920,"height":1080}}},"author_data":{"id":"23","name":"Fran Segovia","first_name":"Fran","last_name":"Segovia","description":"","avatar_url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/9ec849b3b9cb451091f0a96d7943b1c6be26a8d6fd3b94d5b5bfd496b2536c42?s=96&d=mm&r=g","acf":null},"taxonomies_data":{"category":[{"id":13494,"name":"First Team","slug":"first-team","acf":null}],"post_tag":[{"id":13424,"name":"Estadio de la Cer\u00e1mica","slug":"estadio-de-la-ceramica-en","acf":null},{"id":9201,"name":"Football","slug":"football-d34-en","acf":null},{"id":13478,"name":"Football","slug":"football-eng","acf":null},{"id":14767,"name":"LaLiga EA Sports","slug":"laliga-ea-sports-en","acf":null},{"id":15005,"name":"Pacheta","slug":"pacheta-en","acf":null},{"id":13791,"name":"Rueda de prensa","slug":"rueda-de-prensa-2-en","acf":null},{"id":15071,"name":"Sin categorizar","slug":"sin-categorizar-en-91","acf":null},{"id":13496,"name":"Sin categorizar","slug":"sin-categorizar-en-14","acf":null},{"id":13463,"name":"Sin categorizar","slug":"sin-categorizar","acf":null},{"id":14481,"name":"Sin categorizar","slug":"sin-categorizar-en-69","acf":null},{"id":9199,"name":"Soccer","slug":"soccer-d105-en","acf":null},{"id":13482,"name":"Submarine","slug":"submarine-en","acf":null},{"id":13487,"name":"Yellow Submarine","slug":"yellow-submarine-en","acf":null}],"translation_priority":[{"id":734,"name":"Optional","slug":"optional-en","acf":null}]},"seo_full":{"native":{"title":"Fighting for the ball -
