Villarreal survive Balaidos

Even a good version of Gabri Veiga as Aspas’ offensive mate didn’t stop Celta from continuing to fight for the goal. Carlos Carvalhal’s team He knew how to react after Villarreal’s goal., but without success. The striker does not have a striker and he pays the price.

The Portuguese coach gave an indirect message to the board of directors, leaving compatriot Gonçalo Paciencia and Norwegian Jorgen Strand Larsen on the bench. Either they sign a striker or their team will suffer to stay in the Premier League in the season celebrating the Centennial. Sports consultant Luis Campos is aware of this and therefore tries to persuade President Carlos Mouriño to release Denis Suárez to this winter market. This would free up the payroll stack to get the long-awaited attacker.

villarreal started sending, but backed off after taking the lead with the genius of Gerard Moreno, who was allowed to think by sky-blue stoppers at the edge of the field. Too many gifts for the Spanish international who arms his leg to deliver a powerful shot, for Marchesín is unstoppable.

The scenario of the game might have been different if Pepe Reina had not blocked Gabri Veiga’s goal three minutes ago and then later. an enormous mistake by defender Pau when the ball was released. The experienced goalkeeper, who supported his team when his opponent was under the most pressure, was not the only one saved.

Because from 0-1, Villarreal was seen as more conservative against Real Madrid than a week ago. With twenty electric minutes, Celta had clear chances to three but failed to break the yellow wall: Mandi blocked Veiga from equalizing in the 17th minute; In the 22nd minute, Aspas hit the post with his right foot; and soon after, Reina deflected Óscar Rodríguez’s powerful shot from the side with problems.

Göksel did not score in the first halfand Carvalhal made a move with the entry of Luca de la Torre. It was Villarreal, however, who took the penalty, but Morales’ brilliant shot hit the crossbar.

It would be unfair to Celta. He found his reward soon after., when he burned almost all the dust by putting his coach Carles Pérez and Larsen. The Norwegian was the first to finish Veiga’s filtered pass. His first goal in LaLiga was a salvation for the youngster.

Nervous over their qualifying situation, Celta did not give up. He continued to seek victory and touched the comeback with a shot by American Luca de la Torre to touch the post. They weren’t the only ones for Carvalhal’s team: Cuenca avoided Larsen’s goal-line shot, and Unai Núñez, who was in a perfect position soon after, turned his head too far.

Villarreal, blurrycouldn’t stop the heavenly avalanche. Reina, who was well down after Carles Pérez’s shot, saved her team again. Balaídos pressed and the goalkeeper flared up again after a header from Peruvian Renato Tapia. it was Celta’s wanting and not being able tofar superior to its competitor. He just didn’t have a second goal.
