Happy Villarreal debut in his new home and worried Elche

The tenant is comfortable in his new home. Villarreal, on loan until December at City of Valencia while they make the Ceramics Stadium beautiful, he also experienced a happy reception against Elche on his debut in the Levantinist fiefdom in the League after the Conference League against Hajduk Split. After the first three days as a foreigner, Villarreal is the host but essentially the same, of course with the ball and the granite that he does not have to add his fourth 0 to his goal, the only unbeaten player in LaLiga. The purposes of Gerard Moreno and Jackson in the first part and Coquelin and Morales in the second they dismantled an Elche where the concern was multiplied: one point out of 12 possible.

The pain of the furious closing of the market was seasoned by this Valencian duel. That little ‘neighborhood mess’ by johan mojicaan object of interest for Villarreal that was not officially declared and denied by the people of Elche until the arrival of the ‘groguet’ club, in the middle of the last night of unrestrained entry and exit, clause paid and he left with the Colombian, called up but not making his debut.

Elche, conservative, designed a plan adapted to its obstacles and the known superiority of the troops of Unai Emery, in part the Castellón team owed it to itself, with the smart and clear Villarreal in the static attack that did not flow much in Getafe. It was fixed by the ‘groguet’ team, a team with all the lights, as well as the long one, with the clearance check in the space of a jackson in Morales’ replacement eleven in the successful replacement of Emery. What was lacking in the ‘yellow submarine’ at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez, more aggressive in space, was provided by the Senegalese striker, constant concern for Elche with his mobility.

Francisco’s plan to stop Villarreal is even more personalized, using the ancient solution of individual marking, as one who for many minutes seemed to contradict palaces -right side-, to Lo Celso, aiming to neutralize the confusion caused by the Argentine, a fake winger who deceives defenses by constantly floating inside. On occasion, Palacios joined the former Betis player in the middle of the field and pressed the extreme right wing, Tete Morenteto return to close the band, where Elche drew a kind of 5-3-2 sometimes in their own field and instead a 4-3-3 when they appeared to press higher.

But a Villarreal saw everything that gave him rhythm, especially with balls in space and short and fast opening band. Parejo and Capoue had an interesting passive participation. They didn’t play much but they fixed Elche’s double pivot –Guti and Mascarell-. However, Francisco’s team felt overwhelmed by everything going on behind their midfielders, including Jackson, Gerard Moreno and Lo Celso, entering and exiting, continuously entering three quarters while Pedraza and Jeremy Pino they opened the field and separated the lines of Elche.

Through that band of Palacios, Villarreal found a vein and that’s where Pedraza’s first chance came. I answered Edgar Badia, who brought all of Elche’s problems -he frustrated two more chances for Gerard Moreno-, until he couldn’t prevent the inevitable. Emery’s team opened up the right flank, and, with Pino pinning Clerc, Femenía penetrated like a dagger that won Collado’s back. Hunting for the center was Moreno to score his second LaLiga goal.

Elche shed some shyness after the hydration break urged by Francisco and raised the line. Villarreal also knew how to appreciate it and Jackson, with a diagonal, won the back of Palacios and gave it to Lo Celso, who entered the space between the center and the side without Guti, so far, it will close the time gap. Powerful shot from the Argentine to make it 2-0.

Elche, with will but no mordant

Francisco’s team, so far not working their game to the end, Boye and Ponce -very well guarded by Albiol and Pau Torres-, took the ball but not even the boardings of Tete Morente by right or the participation of Alex Collado -which came from the band to the middle-, there should be concern for the ‘yellow submarine’.

Despite the changes and the greater but sterile possession, Elche did not worry in the second half and Villareal rounded off the afternoon with a goal from Coquelin In the middle of Chukwueze and quite against Morales, Of course, he couldn’t miss his home goal of a lifetime after celebrating two in the Conference League against Hajduk Split. Welcome from Ciutat de València to Villarreal in the Liga and happy birthday to Raul Albiolwho blew 37. Age does not weigh on the center back because, for now, the temporary change of house does not affect him a convinced and passionate Villarreal.
