Another semi-final of the Champions League is also about to start, by Liverpool against Villarreal, who is only 7th in La Liga, the match time is scheduled to be 3:00 a.m. Beijing time on April 28, the difference in card strength between the two teams is huge, and the Premier League team continues to be optimistic. The team that can reach the semi-finals of the Champions League has never been a good stubble, Villarreal has its own unique side, they recognize the gap in strength, and then play their own advantages to the extreme, so that so far in the Champions League knockout rounds this season, they have always been unbeaten, this advantage is the high degree of pinch between the offensive and defensive ends, the efficient tacit understanding of the offensive and defensive cooperation, and the overall defense is impenetrable.

Detailed statistics, Villarreal's playing style seems simple, but it is very efficient and tenacious, the defensive end can always withstand the opponent's crazy shots of about 20 feet, and then he can get 1 goal with one or two shots, 4 unbeaten total only 7 feet on target, but scored 7 goals, of which the last 3 wins and 1 draw are all shots on target.
Villarreal's brave performance is due to head coach Emery, as the team played a strong overall in the relatively mediocre lineup, which very tested the ability of the manager. Emery is the king of the cups, having previously achieved a crazy European championship in Sevilla, leading Sevilla to three consecutive Europa League titles. Last season, Emery led Villarreal to a miracle of one black to the end, defeating the stronger and better arsenal and Manchester United in the semi-finals and finals of the Europa League, and finally winning the championship. Therefore, this season they have the same confidence to reach the champions league semi-finals of Liverpool, hoping that the miracle will happen again, and one black will achieve two consecutive European championships.

The Spanish media "Daily Sport" predicts that Villarreal's starting lineup consists of 11 people, including Lully, Voith, Albiol, Paul Torres, Estupinián, Trigros, Capue, Parejo, Cochrane, Locelsol and Danjuma.
