It would be the home team wanting to take the step forward as soon as the whistle blew. Commitment, bravery, and even rebellion. In just two minutes, Diego Conde I had to block a ball in the area. Everything, in a play where, despite the little commotion generated on the grass, it was seen as the Raúl Moro's cross hit Albiol's arm. Neither the Pucelanos, nor the referee, nor the VAR decided to go further. Saved by the bell, Villarreal would look more uncomfortable as the minutes passed. With Barry somewhat lost, and with Comesaña overwhelmed in defense. Because, in another lateral center, Raúl Moro would win the game to finish at will. However, Conde would be there to jump solidly.

Valladolid, as the minutes passed, would gain volume. Firm in every duel, fast in terms of movement, and committed in defense. Amallah, undetectableI would filter a pass into space to give him another clear chance for Raúl Moro. However, as soon as he blinked, he would see that Diego Conde was already on top of the ball. A 1 vs 1 where the goalkeeper He once again demonstrated why he is Marcelino's favorite. An action that would have consequences, because the submarine taught Valladolid that what counts is effectiveness. And in a perfect Femenía center, Barry would arrive with everything to the first post to send it to goal. Jug of cold water in Pucela.

The paralysis caused by the goal could have been more expensive. Because, instantly, Mario Martín would pay for his little experience with a serious loss in ball exit. The counterattack would come from Pepé, who would err on the side of selfishness by having Barry at his side, and would run into a Hein's stoppage. The realization would show Pezzolanoin his private box, giving instructions through the earpiece in an airy manner. And that anger, instantly, turned to the field. But Villarreal, within its strengths, has the necessary patience to manage this type of results in its favor. And the possession of the pucelanos, totally tenuous, would pass to two saves by Hein from Barry's shot. It was time to go to the locker room, almost giving thanks for only going 0-1.

The second half would begin with Villarreal acting as leader. And with another rhythm, showing that control and offensiveness can merge. In just two minutes, Baena would knock on the door of the goal, crashing into the post. Another shot from outside the area where the jewel showed that there is a glove on that foot. But, in case anyone still doubted,and would invent a pass worthy of Kevin De Bruyne so that Barry I was alone in the area again. However, the attacker again lacked patience, crashing her into the stands. The crisis of the pucelanos reached its most difficult moment.

But football, when you look your best, can show you that things change in the blink of an eye. On a ball into space for Syllawhere he executes a great technical gesture to enter the area, It would end with a clear entry by Logan Costa. Without a doubt, a serious mistake that the '7' himself would make pay on the scoreboard. The stadium would wake up, with a team that returned to that rebellion. And also, Marcelino: Ayoze Pérez's time had arrived, accompanied by Pope Gueye. The Canarian striker would return from injury with one of the scenarios where he proves to be a leader. And on his first ball, he already had the option to finish off a Cardona cross against Hein.

The changes suited Villarreal very well, as they settled in the rival area. All thanks to a Ilias would take a step forward. From the role of coach and assistant, giving half a goal on a plate that Gueye wasted. And also, from outside the area with a shell that Hein had to save with a popcorn. Valladolid saw that a storm was arriving. And there was no way to bail out water. Well, yes there was. Karl Hein. With three other stops, with two posts in between. But even so, the hero could not achieve the objective.

Why, When the situation gets difficult, balls to Baena. There were only six minutes left. But Alex is always there. And with another center with music, Ayoze would arrive in a plate to make it clear why it is so important for Marcelino. Because whenever the match gets stuck, the canary is the Joker of the deck. And although an injury has slowed him down, it is already clear that his level is still intact. Villarreal gets three points to confirm that the Champions League dream is not, by any means, a chimera.
