Villarreal languish just outside relegation slots in La Liga points table, with their new boss optimistic about survival chances.
In a season that promised the world, Villarreal have failed to deliver on all the stages. Giuseppe Rossi’s injury horrors, Nilmar’s fitness problems, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Santi-c32503 Cazorla’s sale have affected the modest
side from Vila-real.
Only http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Carlos-Garrido-c8443 and Jose Molina.
Over the course of the season, the former Villarreal B coaches have been shown the exit door after unimpressive performances by the Yellow Submarine.
Now, former Deportivo La Coruna tactician, Miguel Angel Lotina, has taken on the responsibility of guiding the disarrayed side away from relegation.
With 11 La Liga fixtures remaining, Lotina has the chance of establishing himself as a fan favourite at El Madrigal and the experienced coach is looking forward to it.
Reflecting on the situation, the former Gernika forward opined that he has a difficult yet exciting challenge on his hands.
However, Lotina revealed that he believes that positive results will come as they have the ability to stave off relegation.
"It is an exciting challenge because we come to an important team in the Spanish league. The situation is not comfortable, but I have a team that excites me a lot."
"I believe we're able to pull this off. The results will come.”
"This team, with confidence, has the players to be up there [the top of the league]."
In his first match in charge of the first team, Lotina will test his wits with master tactician, Jose Mourinho. The 54-year-old manager revealed that winning against Los Blancos is not an easy task but he will send out his men in search of a positive
result.
"Real Madrid will be a good test for us. Achieving a victory over the leader is complicated, but we will try because it would give us much strength."
After dropping two points at the Bernabeu against Malaga, the Capital side will look to get all three points on offer against the struggling La Liga outfit.
