There is no football break in Montilivi. This Tuesday the curtain opens again with a ‘Primera’ Cup duel because Villarreal visits Girona (Follow the game live on AS.com). Just three days ago, the rojiblancos gave the leader of Segunda, Espanyol, a roll in the league and now they threaten the yellow block. It is true that both teams have more senses deposited in LaLiga, but a place at stake in the quarterfinals and it is a sweet that no one wants to despise.
On paper, Emery’s Villarreal is favorite. Although he cannot trust a Girona that has already surprised Cádiz and is undefeated so far in 2021. He is currently sweet, but he knows that now he must change the chip. Villarreal scares because they walk fifth in the First Division and it was already the team that separated them from the Cup last season in the round of 32. Therefore, there is a certain air of revenge in Girona after that overwhelming 0-3 of just over a year ago. For this encounter The injured Juanpe and Luna continue to be low and, due to COVID-19, Ramón Terrats and Francisco will rotate. He will give minutes to young people like Arnau, on the left-handed side, and to those footballers who seek to continue taking advantage of the opportunity to vindicate themselves. A great example is Valery’s. He signed a double in the last round against Cádiz, he is getting bigger and bigger and he will try to continue giving Francisco reasons to consider him for something more than a shock in the League. The coach, of course, will shake his starting team and there will also be an alternative for other players such as Muric, Yan Couto, Ramalho, Gumbau (was suspended due to suspension against Espanyol), Bárcenas and Mamadou Sylla. Enough wood to put Villarreal in check.
Emery, crushed by casualties, hopes that the Cup will once again be a springboard. Villarreal travels to Girona without the injured Alberto Moreno, Iborra, Mario, Chukwueze, Gerard Moreno, Foyth and Costa (contact with a positive in COVID-19). In this tie they wear the favorite poster and leave Montilivi with a smile after two draws in a row in the league it is crucial for the future. The coach will bet on a starting block in which Estupiñán, Yeremi Pino, Baena, Pedraza and Bacca stand out and will leave a more revulsive role to Alcácer and Fer Niño, a hero thanks to his goal in the last round against Tenerife.
