On the evening of March 5, Beijing time, a match in the 27th round of La Liga, after a strong momentum, the league's no.7 Villarreal suddenly dropped the chain, 0-1 to the league midstream team Osasuna, ending the record of 6 unbeaten games. Such a defeat can be said to have dealt a blow to Emery's impact on the Champions League seat.
Last season, Villarreal beat Manchester United in the Europa League to win the first trophy in the club's history. As manager Emery, he became a member of the club's history. At the beginning of the season, Huang Qian did not perform well, but Emery did not give up the team, and he even turned down an offer from the Premier League upstart Newcastle.
Although the start was bad, but because most La Liga teams were not doing well, Villarreal relied on the recent grabs to get back to the top of the table. In the six games before this game, Villarreal performed well, in addition to forcing Real Madrid and Juve, there was a big victory over Espanyol.
In the last round, Villarreal was in full swing, and more accurately, the 19-year-old Pinault achieved an explosion. Facing Wu Lei's Spaniard, Pino scored four goals in a row to stage the senior year, and he is also the first player at the club in 99 years to achieve such a result.
After such a match broke out, Pino became the focus of attention of teams across Europe, and his penalty was also a direct increase of 8,000W euros. Facing Osasuna, Pino was given another chance to play. However, in the 76th minute, he performed mediocrely and was replaced by Emery early.
The only goal of the match occurred in the 62nd minute of the second half. Luvin Garcia delivered an assist and Argentine Luis Avila scored. After the game, Osasuna scored again, but was blown off by VAR. Although they were unable to extend the advantage of the game, the home team relied on the second half goal to successfully defeat the Yellow Submarines 1-0 to end their 2-game losing streak.
For Emery, such a sudden defeat still has a big impact on the team. In the standings, as long as Huang Qian wins this round, it is very likely to return to the European zone and put pressure on other clubs that have not played. After losing the game, representative Huang Qian will definitely not be able to return to the European zone in the standings this round, and they also missed the opportunity to equalize Barca's points.
In addition to the defeat in the game, Huang Qian's failure to achieve a goal is also a big regret. It seems that the last game's 5-1 victory over Espanyol was indeed a bit of a "loser". Villarreal did not play next week, their second leg in the Champions League round of 16 came in the early hours of March 17, when Emery will lead the team to Italy, and the club will draw 1-1 with Juventus in the first leg.
