UEFA Europa League : Villarreal Vs Sparta Praha

Sparta Prague is the underdog at this stage of the Europa League. Few people have also relied on the presence of the Czech club during these last eight at the time of the draw the previous round. Italians opposed to Lazio, Sparta players are still managed the feat to go to win 3-0 at the Stadio Olimpico after a draw conceded at home in the first leg! Villarreal will have to be wary and do not underestimate his opponent or face the same fate. For it would be bale to see the yellow submarine be eliminated in this round then they released Bayer Leverkusen and Napoli, and clubs like Manchester United and Valencia were eliminated.

Marcelino, Villarreal coachSparta will make things very difficulty and we can not write 'em off as easy Opponents.

Sometimes we forget what a great season we're having. We just think que la Enormous success we've Had so far is normal. The players are making That possible.

We-have to cover everything They are good at, while aussi Creating our own Opportunities. We must acknowledge our qualities and what we can accomplish achieve with 'em.When Analysing previous Opponents I've always found weak points. Sometimes It was the space in front of the central defenders, sometimes down the wings. Goal this time I Told That the players after-watching or oven Villarreal five games I do not see a weak spot.
