The front of Villarreal Gerard Moreno He said this Wednesday that the Castellón club’s goal is to go higher than the seventh place they currently occupy in LaLiga and they will fight for it from now on.
“Many teams want to be in Europe next year, so we must know the importance of each game. From now until the break we have important games in the League and the Conference League and we are recovering very important people. We hope that the victory against Getafe gives us the confidence to score in Almería”, he said.
The Catalan attacker commented that the match against Almería will be difficult. “This is a team that plays well in their stadium, the other day they beat the leader and in La Cerámica they made it difficult for us. They are very clear in their play and they are a very strong team at home”.
In addition, Gerard confirmed his recovery. “I’ve been out for a few weeks, it’s not a break yet, but I’m aware of everything that’s left, I know my body and I don’t have any problems and as much as I can to help the team. Talked about playing the other day. It’s true that there are some risks, but I’m fine,” he explained.
“We will see how everything evolves now, but I feel good. The coach decides what is best for the team. I’m fine and I hope it keeps getting better and better. I really want to help the team. We have a big responsibility and I need to be at the highest possible level to help win. The first one who wants to be at his best level is me,” he added.
Regarding the ‘ordeal’ of injuries, Gerard said that these are things that happen and he just has to keep working to have the continuity he wants. “Now the last stage of the season has arrived and I must try to be physically and mentally able to compete for what is left,” he said.
Gained confidence after the victory against Getafe
In addition, the Catalan footballer said that the victory against Getafe gives a lot of confidence, but they must continue working because all teams have the same goal as theirs, which is to be in Europe next season . “It is very important that we all properly improve the level of the squad, the competition on a daily basis, to have more alternatives. It is a great joy and a great boost for the team that the people who were lost are back to help the team”, he said about the recovery of injured players.
Gerard also maintained that they have eased the anxiety they had with four consecutive defeats and now they need to have the mentality and idea of being on top. “In the dressing room we have a clear goal and we have to work to get back to the good form we were in before the defeat,” he concluded.
A bad game against Anderlecht will doom them
He also stated that the team is confident of going through the round of 16 tie of the Conference League against a great and historical rival like the Belgian Anderlecht. “We know that we are a strong team. LaLiga and the Conference League are two completely different competitions. Now the qualifiers have come and we know that if we have a bad game we can be left, so the strategy is different than in LaLiga”, he commented this Wednesday in a press conference.
