Narration and statistics This is how we live the game live
Villarreal did
not disappoint
in Switzerland, where they took their first victory of the season in the
Champions League.
Three points that put him back with options for everything in a much more even group than was originally expected.
The set of
Unai Emery
took his great effectiveness in the first quarter of an
hour with goals from
Yeremy
and
Gerard
in his first two shots on goal, to gain an advantage that the
Young Boys
he was no longer able to lift.
The insistent Swiss team tried but Elia's goal already in the final stretch was not enough to prevent the yellow team from releasing their victories record perhaps in their most discreet match in the tournament.
(Narration and statistics)
Going out with a line of five in defense does not help much when then the players are not where they need to be. It
was enough for
Villarreal
to put two balls into the area to put their first victory of the course on track in the Champions League in just over a quarter of an hour. The first was a cross from
Pedraza
that
Yeremy
finished
off
at the far post while
Ulises Garcia
stared at the shrews. Just 10 minutes later, it was Gerard who opened the distance on the scoreboard, heading unopposed by a delicious delivery from
Parejo
on a free kick.
The people of Castellón were a hammer that struck a
Young Boys
at each arrival
that was suffocated at the start by the high pressure of Emery's team, whose players came out with the lesson learned after the coach lamented the lack of intensity of his team in the defeat of the weekend against Osasuna.
David Wagner
must have been attentive to that match that the Navarrese team won because he decided to copy the drawing that
Jagoba Arrasate
had used
at the Estadio de la Cerámica and surprised by leaving with three central centers and two lanes, a system that he does not usually use.
A complete but suffering Villarreal
Perhaps because of that or because the scene, with a Villarreal that now did not need to assume so much prominence, did not seem the most conducive to their counter-attack football, the Swiss took a long time to find their best tone.
The
Young Boys
is not a team that is excessively comfortable leading the way.
It was with his vertical and fast football that he began to get the yellows in trouble, taking advantage of the additions to the attack of
Ngamaleu
and Ulises Garcia and the mobility of Elia throughout the attack flank.
The Congolese forward had a good option to cut distances before the break but did not need his shot to pass from Ngamaleu after a quick exit from the Swiss, who had also crashed a ball in the squad shortly before in a shot by Aebischer.
Villarreal began to suffer against a Young Boys with more presence than danger but that was gaining prominence in the game.
Emery's men threatened a backlash, as in a couple of
Danjuma
forays
, one of them culminating with a nearly zero-angle shot saved by
Van Ballmoos
.
A last quarter of an hour of effectiveness
The Dutchman took over from Pedraza, who started the second half turned almost into a winger and crashed a ball off the crossbar.
But it was difficult for the people of Castellón to contain David Wagner's team, who had taken a step forward and began to materialize their arrivals in shots on goal, which they had lacked in the first half.
Rulli began to accumulate work, cutting off a Fassnacht internship and clearing a Camara header.
Villarreal had to defend with the ball and was losing the battle in the center of the field despite the fact that Emery had wanted to give some more work to his core with the entry of Coquelin in the eleven for Trigueros. Meanwhile, Wagner gave up a central defender to put Hefti on the side and overtake Ngamaleu.
When the Young Boys seemed to have given a truce, a long clearance from their defense made Elia the goal that gave the Swiss hope.
The Congolese beat
Albiol
and Pau and beat
Gero Rulli
this time
.
There was not much time left, but there was enough time for Wagner's team to launch for a draw that they failed to reach while neglecting their back, thus allowing
Alberto Moreno
and
Chukwueze to
sentence the counter to seal the final 1-4.
