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.
If They Were, They Would not be in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Europa League And They Would not-have beaten tough teams like Lazio and Krasnodar.We might be the favorites purpose we'll try not to get into trouble by believing we are already through. 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.

Zdeněk Ščasný, Sparta coach
Before the tenth minute of every game - Regardless of the opposition-even Barcelona - Villarreal create one, two or three clear chances. 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.
