The Submarine received at home one of the teams that has started the season best, A Celta de Vigo that wants to clean up its image from previous years and that made it clear in the first part, taking the lead twice.
In the second halfthe Submarine, led by its new crew, took a step forward and managed to get ahead with Barry and Mingueza own goalsafter a great play by Pepe. The visitors did not give up and They pressed again until they achieved the final tie at 3, after an offensive recital by both teams.
The end is the face of the cross
Despite the recital with 6 goals, the match still had a final chapter that not even the craziest scriptwriter had on his agenda. The match was looking set for a draw, but in the added time the final flourish was still to come, a gallop by Barry that ended with a penalty in favour of the Submarine.
If the tension was through the roof Dani Parejo He gave more than one person a heart attack when he missed the penalty and had to score on the rebound after a good save by Villar that could not prevent the final score of 4-3.
Another show at La Cerámica
The Submarine started the season as one of the candidates to be at the top, for not having the distraction of Europe and for all the additions that have been made this summer. These movements are seen also on the grass of La Cerámica, which has already witnessed two authentic shows in just two games.
In the first, the yellow fans lived a 2-2 against a direct rival in the top zone, with a first half to remember, and this time, the second match corresponding to matchday 3 of LaLiga, the result was the same, a scoring spectacle with six goals.
The new ones are already saving points
He The game was going uphill for the Submarine with the 1-2but the replacements are rapidly gaining ground and are starting to be decisive in saving points. Against Sevilla it was Ayoze in the last minute, and today Barry and Pepe have brought out their power.
Pepe’s quality was already known, although he never exploded. With Marcelino, the panorama becomes clear for him to show why Arsenal bet so much on him. The other good news was given by Thierno Barry, who only had to touch the ball to score his first goal with the Villarreal shirt.
Doubts return in defense
The sensations at the start of the year are leaving Villareal as a contender for Europe, as expected, but But that doesn’t mean that the doubts in defense that caused so many headaches are going away. last season.
He Attacking potential remains a lethal weaponand after receiving the first goal, Marcelino’s men did not give up and They continued with their plan until they found the tie with a goal in the second play of a corner that he pushed Sergi Cardona.
This reaction was not enough and the locals They fell behind again and had to fight against the current again. of a Celta that has started the season with the desire not to find itself fighting at the bottom again.
The legs are heavy
The pace at which the league has started seems like a summer of Euro Cup has not passed and Olympics through the middle. Most teams are offering great performances and Marcelino did not want his team to be less.
Raising the pace implies more wear and tear, and when it comes to the Matchday 3 In just seven days for the Submarine, the rotations are already becoming apparent, so much so that the new ones are already being decisive with goals and shaking up games in attack, or being strong in defense with the dLogan Costa’s second-half debut.
Two laterals, two foals
The The wing area is one of the brightest with the comings and goings of Kiko Femenía on the right and Sergi Cardona on the left. We already knew the first one and it was expected that he would be important due to doubts with the injuries of Juan Foyth.
The second, a newcomer to the team, is being one of the team’s revelations. Cardona left a great impression last season in Las Palmas that caught the attention of Villarreal. The sports management was not wrong and the Catalan full-back has consolidated as an undisputed left back, and also providing assists and goals.
First parts of vertigo
In just three days we have seen first parts of Villarreal’s matches that are truly dizzying. On the first date, against Atlético, in the first 45 minutes in, the scoreboard already reflected what would have been the final score of 2-2.
On the second day, in the Visit to Sevilla, the first half again left a huge number of chances and the match on this occasion was not going to be decided until added time with Ayoze’s goal.
On the third day, the game again followed the same pattern, a A hectic start that pleases the eye of the neutral viewerbut I don’t think the Asturian coach likes it very much, based on his idea of being effective with the ball and solid in defense.
