Villarreal’s Pau Navarro Reflects on Game Strategy and Performance

omidbasir- Pau Navarro, a player for Villarreal, stated in an interview with DAZN that the team allowed Getafe to dictate the pace of the game, which ultimately did not benefit them.

Regarding the match, Navarro remarked, “We lacked the ability to win many more duels, both defensively and offensively. We became too engrossed in their style of play. Now, we must put this game behind us and focus on the next one.”

In response to the criticism of Getafe’s gameplay, he added, “We have taken a step forward; everyone knows how they play. As long as referees continue to allow this type of game… It seems they are rewarded for diving, shouting, and committing fouls, and everything is called in their favor. As long as the referee permits it, they will continue to play this way. We fell into their game. However, beyond their tactics, we made numerous mistakes both in attack and defense, including my error on the goal, and we must concentrate on improving that aspect.”

Meanwhile, Satriano expressed disagreement with Navarro’s complaints about Getafe’s playing style, stating, “This is football; you have to play it. I don’t know if this is the first time it has happened to him. This is football, and it is like this.”
