0-2 Defeat To Liverpool, Villarreal's Pau Torres: Same Plan As Against Munich

JAKARTA - Villarreal lost when they visited Liverpool headquarters in the first leg of the Champions League semifinals, Thursday, April 28 in the morning WIB. Villarreal surrendered with a score of 0-2.

Two goals against Villarreal were created in the 53rd and 55th minutes. The first was due to Pervis Estupinan's suicide, then the second was scored by Sadio Mane.

Villarreal defender Pau Torres said this defeat was due to a mistake made by his team. In addition, he also admits Liverpool are above them.

"They were a little bit better than us. We had planned the possibility that they would attack, but we didn't defend as we hoped," said Pau Torres, quoted by Diario AS.

The player revealed, his team did not want to concede in that match. He said, the Villarreal players are ambitious to bring home good results.

However, Pau Torres feels The Yellow Submarine still has a chance. The reason is, Unai Emery's foster children often appear extraordinary when playing at home, La Ceramica.

"We showed that against Bayern. We played differently at home," he said.

He then said, Villarreal will apply the same strategy when his team eliminated Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals.

"The plan is similar to (against) Munich. We have full confidence, but we go by two goals difference, 90 minutes is a very long time," he said.

"One goal at home can make you turn it around again. There is a lot to be done," continued the Villarreal defender.
