Villarreal visit fellow strugglers Getafe – La Liga news
Juan http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Carlos-Garrido-c8443 would be presented with a chance to redeem himself after a poor start by Villarreal, when they travel away to take on Madrid-based Getafe in La Liga on October 15.
Luis Garcia Plaza’s men are in similar dire straits, having collected just four points from their six matches. The defeat against Rayo Vallecano and Malaga certainly hurt them bad.
Villarreal have been badly affected by UEFA Champions League contests and are currently without four first team players.
Plaza, on the other hand, has an injury list that just goes on. As many as seven first team players are missing from action, and the coach has serious tweaking to accomplish to make up the numbers in this match.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Giuseppe-Rossi-c15027 is the star man for Villarreal and he will be on a quest to establish himself in the club’s history pages. By far the best Yellow Submarine player, he is on the verge of overtaking Diego Forlan’s record for the club.
The American-born Italian has 54 goals to his name "Sea", and is tied with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Diego-c11058 Forlan in all-time scorers’ list. The match at Coliseum Alfonso Perez will give him the opportunity to overtake the legendary Uruguayan.
Rossi has taken two more seasons to get on level terms with his predecessor but the wait has been rewarding. The Italian might have scored lesser goals than Forlan, but his strikes have been more decisive for the club.
He will partner Joselu, the sensational cantera product who was a revelation in the Segunda division, in attack.
With a win, Villarreal can jump to 8th place in La Liga table, leapfrogging Atletico Madrid. On the other hand, Getafe’s win will take them up to 12th
on the rankings.
