Glorious night at El Madrigal

Villarreal aim high. Engaged in the fight for third place in Valencia in La Liga, is walking his great football throughout Europe. And that has not had an easy road: getting there last night had to remove the powerful teams from Italy and Germany, Naples in sixteenths and Leverkusen in the second round . Both clubs were the runners in their league at the time that passed with the Yellow Submarine. But the hype was not satisfied with it and for the last eight decided that Castellon had to face to face with the Twentee, sole leader of the Dutch Eredivisie.

Garrido did not trust a hair of the tulips and, unlike previous rounds, fielded a team that could qualify as a dress, with accompanying Marchena Bruno in midfield, Valero and Cazorla in gangs and the deadly partner in Nilmar-Rossi forefront. Twentee came out very strong, showing his great physical strength with a pressure that drowned twenty minutes of the Villarreal game combined. However, wherever it is assumed that always requires physical strength was found yellow where the first step to heaven: a corner launched by Valero, which lasted Catalá at the near post to finish off the network Marchena to advance his own .

The goal helped the locals to release all the tension and began to play the ball as they like. The Dutch received both affected and good tactical approach of the first quarter of an hour was cracking like glass, slowly but surely. The boys were gaining presence Garrido minute and the second goal seemed to be ripe but not ended by falling tree. On the other side and sighed tulips come to rest without any further injury but his hopes fell into a well in three minutes for Villarreal wonderful.

With a series of passes and changes of position, the yellow got dismast Dutch right flank until the ball reached Cazorla, who saw Valero was using the left-handed central tulip had been long overdue, and put it perfect for Borja scored the second cross shot. The two protagonists of this both showed that they are among the best midfielders in Europe and although Rossi and Nilmar are often carried the front page flashes and, Cazorla and Valero are the engines of a team that always tries to play football and, when successful, like last night, it does splendidly.

And shortly after that goal by team play, Nilmar was the smartest in the class to take advantage of a dreadful clearance from a rival defense to nail the third with a header practical before which nothing could make the stunned goalkeeper. After the goal the referee blew the final whistle the first time as El Madrigal burning with happiness and pride. At the turn of rest, the Villarreal midfield showed that if the master knows the parties, their attack is deadly and defense category. Ten minutes after the break came when Rossi, who impaled a tremendous shot with a strange dry folha guardamallas with which the viewer could only exercise.

After the fourth goal, the game was well controlled by Villarreal and his rival, despite putting in some actions will attack, just managed to do some damage to the yellow defense. Thus came the moment when the Austrian striker Marc Janko as he made ​​a violent and unnecessary Gonzalo entry that broke his fibula. Mysteries of the arbitration, such baseness was only punished with a yellow card, error, ironies of life allowed the animal to Janko score the consolation goal for the Twentee on 90 minutes. Between an action and another, Nilmar was invented dribbling without touching the ball, feinting to his mark with a beautiful hint, and shooting the exhausted and defending Mihajlov network.

The 5-1 finalpeiVillarreal football mia, the deployed last night in El Madrigal, the set of the season and, without exaggeration, that of all recent years (and from those Champions League semis!). Virtually already qualified for the semifinals, it looks like it should go to another country, Iberian neighbors, more specifically, to Porto, which endorsed a 5-1 at Spartak Moscow. The other two qualifiers also smiled at the other two teams lusos: Benfica won with clairvoyance to the PSV (4-1) and achieved a promising Braga draw away to Dynamo Kiev (1-1). However, the Yellow Submarine joy was overshadowed by the terrible injury to Gonzalo, who will miss the rest of the season and, I suppose, also the Copa America. Having broken knee ligament twice and the ankle in one, life does not stop screwing the poor Gonzalo, only because of returning to a pitch must be regarded as a superman.
