The third round of the Copa del Rey broke out of the super cold, and Emery's Champions League team Villarreal was eliminated by the La Liga team 1-2. After the upset defeat in this game, Villarreal's luxurious record of 6 consecutive wins was also ended. In the next round of La Liga, Villarreal will play Atletico at home, and Emery may be staying for this game.
As a veteran la Liga powerhouse, Villarreal's strength cannot be underestimated. This match against the La Liga team, for Emery, is almost a winner. However, they are in this kind of strong and weak dialogue in the gutter overturned. In the first half of the game, Villarreal's threatening attacks were few and far between, and Gijón Athletic's defence could be described as watertight.
The first goal did not appear until the second half of the match. In the 48th minute, Villarreal played a quick counter-attack, and after Albior got the ball, he used his personal ability to easily complete the goal. I thought that this goal would sound Villarreal's offensive horn, but I did not expect that their conservative playing style would pit themselves.
In the 67th minute, Duldevic helped Gijon Athletic equalize. The goal also dealt a heavy blow to Emery. He made several substitutions in a row, but the effect was not good. The turning point came in the 88th minute when Villarreal was disappointed in the backline and Milovanov scored a killer goal to help Gijón Athletic to a 2-1 comeback. This score was also maintained by them to the full court.
It is worth reminding that Villarreal has won 6 consecutive victories in the past, and the Champions League and league double lines have broken out. Unexpectedly, it overturned on the West B team, which was really incredible. Perhaps in Emery's view, a tournament like the Copa del Rey will only waste his talent. In the next round, Villarreal will play at home against Atletico, and it is no surprise that Emery will be dead set against Simeone, after all, his goal is to compete for a Place in the Champions League.
