EThe Villarreal coach was upset by the new draw for his team. Emery regretted that in just 20 minutes they would throw away the work done in the first half, since he stressed the importance of being able to react when Gerard Moreno he’s not on the pitch

Match reading: “We had very good moments in the first half. Gerard gives us ground and confidence, a reference in that final phase of the game repeatedly and with success. Without Gerard we have lacked that beacon, we have to work on that and find solutions. We came to the break with the feeling of confidence and security. Gerard’s premature change made us lose twenty minutes. We lost our place, we were cuddled and locked in. The tie at two did not make us react, we have regained control and we had a couple of times but we haven’t done it. “

Four without winning: “I’m not worried and I’m busy with why. And in the circumstances of these last four games we have deserved to win and we haven’t. We have to refine with the people.

Their goal has come, we have lost the reference and that intermediate position with Gerard and we cannot go out. I am upset but not disappointed with the players. Nobody relaxes, but as a result of fatigue it makes them lower in some plays. You have to react with character and spirit, assume certain hierarchies on the field in difficult moments. We could use this week to rest and recover players ” .

Gerard change: “Gerard asked for the change because he was scheduled to play certain minutes, but he noticed some discomfort, an overload in the calf and the change was forced. With Coquelin we have been scared but after the first medical evaluation it seems that it is not serious. We need to recover to the players this week, especially in some positions “
