Villarreal, between honesty and post-Cazorla syndrome

madrigal.jpg Villarreal CF live fateful times. After his last defeat against the new leader, the Levant, is located at 16th place, just two points above the drop and away by nine of the positions of Champions, having been able to win only one game of the eight played so date (2-0 at Mallorca, J5). Similarly, his trip to the Champions League has become a nightmare: his 0 points in 3 days you have been convicted to suck as much to a third place that allows you to save the furniture falling to the Europa League.

Castellon team are immersed in a depression, a mood that I did not know for years. The most widespread theory, both internally and externally, is that everything began with the departure of Santi Cazorla to Málaga CF. Losing a franchise player is very hard for any team and the risk of hitting a drop in energy is very considerable. But so is our football. Under the Barça-Madrid duopoly, our other two teams Champions have been forced to sell their biggest star, to the aforementioned output Cazorla of Villarreal must add that of Juan Mata, who left Valencia for London. So our third and fourth teams in the league can not keep their best players, either to cure the default, for whites, or whether to balance the accounts in positive case of yellow.

The club led by Fernando Roig is among the few assigned to the LFP do not have their numbers in red, a reality that must be evaluated and applaud, because the vast majority of its competitors accumulate debt and more debt every year after living above their means. So the things the fans of Villarreal has to swallow his anger watching his team has to face opponents who have left to sign despite its economic situation, some even in the midst of bankruptcy law or the edge of it, waiting for the right moment to take advantage of this loophole that is a real shame.

Villarreal could do what most do: invest the money they got from the sale of her figure, and even more, to make one or more signings in popularity, seeking to cover the loss of a great name with another, though not even be you need the equipment. But the Yellow Submarine is a different club because their president is a president to use, it is driven by populism, think about what is best for the club and the future prostitutes boast this.

Roig did well not to go crazy to try to plug the hole in Cazorla. The players in the category of midfielder Alonso have a high market value, only suitable for oil tycoons, presidents crazy or, of course, Madrid and Barça. As acknowledged by some members of staff, low Cazorla has affected more than merely tactical, but has also had its effect on team morale.

What's more, Villarreal had the misfortune to be square in Group A of the Champions League, Bayern Munich with Manchester City and Napoli, possibly the strongest group ever has been since the birth of modern version of the old European Cup. The Champions, for prestige and economic rewards, is a fruit very tempting and is practically impossible not to pretend to get all the juice possible, although the reason for notice to the contrary. The Yellow Submarine fought a lot for the plaza all last season Champions and even had to risk his neck in the summer, and with little time to unwind, have been faced with two months of very tough competition.

It may be early to say and is not a matter of making a bird of ill omen, but maybe the best choice for Villarreal is to change the chip and rewrite your script for this season, lowering expectations for loose some pressure. But easier said than done ... Also, in the league desperately needs to add water so that it reaches the chest and on the horizon that lies an uncomfortable match at the Santiago Bernabeu. And yet over in Champions need to fight for third place to give ticket to the Champions League, a tournament that could give you many joys and, of course, an income lower than those of her older sister but better than nothing. Only time will tell which way is the Villarreal, a team that has been installed in the elite of football without taking advantage of anyone, without falling into debt or create enmity (except in Mallorca, of course).
