Yellow diving defender Moreno: It is more beneficial for us to have confidence to beat Real Madrid in benzema's absence

Live bar on February 11, 23:15 Beijing time on February 12, the 24th round of the 2021-22 La Liga season, Villarreal will sit at home to meet Real Madrid. Before the match, Villarreal left-back Alberto Moreno said in an interview that Benzema's absence was a more favorable situation for Huang Qian.

Regarding the upcoming match against Real Madrid – opponents may be more concerned about the Champions League match against Paris

Moreno: "It's going to be a complicated game either way, we know that, it's always been like that against Real Madrid. But we're at home and in fact we believe we can play a great game, we're in a good moment and we're full of confidence, so it's going to be a great game and we're going to fight for the win and we're sure we can do that. ”

Real Madrid, who have won the Champions League

Moreno: "In terms of the number of stars, this Real Madrid team may have fewer stars than the team I faced at Liverpool, but they are always Real Madrid, they have good players, such as Benzema, Vinicius, Alaba, Modric, Kroos and so on, and many of the players are very high-level. They may not be the same team they came before, but considering their players, they are still very strong. ”

About the game plan

Moreno: "We're going to face this game head-on, we're in control, we're going to force them to back and look for opportunities to fight back. We can control the pace or wait for an opportunity depending on the needs of the game, that's what we think. We had the opportunity to compete with them and most importantly we played with the fans at home, which gave us an edge. ”

About the current state of the team

Moreno: "The team is feeling good right now, we're in a good moment, I think the team is at a very stable and very high level and there are very few injuries, which gives us more options for the game. ”

Real Madrid will be short of Benzema

Moreno: "Benzema is a very good player, he and Vinicius can make Real Madrid different, in Benzema's absence, they will lose the fulcrum in the game, lose the goal, because he can connect the whole team. It's better for us if he can't play and we can't deny that. But like I said, the opponents are Real Madrid, we know their level, if you underestimate them, then they will hurt you, they are very good and very competitive, it has always been so. ”

If Real Madrid are defeated in this game, will the situation in La Liga be more complicated?

Moreno: "I think Real Madrid are the strongest team and I hope we can beat them here, but I think they are solid in La Liga, they are a very stable team. ”

About becoming "Vinicius of Andalusia" (left winger in Villarreal)

Moreno: "Vinicius of Andalusia?" Whatever the coach asks me to do, I will do. Now I'm at the top, I've done it in the best way possible, I feel good on the pitch and I'm confident and I think I'm at the best of my career. ”

About Emery and Klopp

Moreno: "They're very similar, very professional, they're very obsessed with everything – especially tactics, in fact, both of them are very good. ”

What's next?

Moreno: "We want to keep going, we want to get into the Champions League zone, it's a normal goal for this club, in the Champions League against Juve we want to be able to come up with a great performance, it's a very precious experience, we need to give it our all and a lot of players will enjoy it. ”
