The chronicle: Emery finds the vaccine against Villarreal’s ’empatitis’ against Elche: Alcácer (4-1)

If you have a Ferrari and a Porsche, it is not to have them in the parking lot, but to give them the road and enjoy them. Something similar happens to Emery with the huge squad in his hands. Before Elche he boasted of the Porsche that he had parked on the bench in Mallorca. The mini-revolution of a coach who once in his career changed up to 10 players from one game to another, it was deep.

It was not a matter of curing the acute empatitis, which could also be, but to dose efforts and enlist all its players with seven new faces, leaving top footballers in the booth as Albiol or Foyth, to name a proprietors. And the great novelty, above anyone else, was the ownership of Paco Alcácer. And he was super Paco again. Emery needed mobility and an area man upstairs, in the absence of his great reference, Gerard Moreno. It was just as important to recover the great team beats as to win, especially the latter. The Submarine rescued from the closet the 4-3-3 with Yeremi Pino and Danjuma on the wings assisting Alcácer.

Fast-paced start with goals

Elche, a team that always complicates the existence of the yellows, tried to put a lock on the routes of creation of the yellows with a 5-3-2. A block image and likeness of Escribá: order and positioning, with certain defensive nuances. The people of Elche have taken a step forward this year and their level has risen with more technical players. The game soon came face to face with a good action from Paco Alcácer, who did not score but Yes, he made the goal after five minutes for Yeremi to sign his eighth official goal at 18. The canary aspires to have a door in Ceramics with his youth and to break records for yellow.

Despite the 1-0, Villarreal did not show fluidity and joy in his game, although he did not concede anything either. But things got difficult again for Emery’s. A shot from afar from Mojica surprised Asenjo who mismeasured the trajectory and the 1-1 was like an outbreak of that acute empatitis for which still the technician could not find the vaccine or it was not effective. The antibodies of the evil of the tie crouched dangerously when Lucas Pérez failed a clear action only against Asenjo. Elche was comfortable and Villarreal thick. The big scare came in the 38th minute when the referee forgave Pedraza the second yellow, although before he had been rigorous with the first. Emery took note and switched sides at half-time to avoid taking risks.

Great game and happy ending in the second half

Villarreal grew little by little. Trigueros and Parejo put rhythm and intelligence to the game. And the Porsche picked up speed and pulled the cylinder capacity …. and Paco was mischievous when stealing a ready ball from the schoolyard, which ended in a good goal from Trigueros.

Elche could no longer follow Villarreal, just run after the ball. It was the night of Alcácer, a player who stands out for his nose, but who shone by his participation in the game, positive, generous and lucid to see the unchecked of his teammates. Danjuma was the third beneficiary of a goal pass, yes, demonstrating qualities of a top footballer in driving and finishing. 3-1 produced more than enough antibodies to put an end to that empatitis unbecoming of a noble class team, which rounded off his great night with 4-1 in Alberto Moreno’s discount.
