will be played over the two legs.
Cazorla believed that Villarreal could get better of the Portuguese giants if they maintain their focus ahead of the clash. He confirmed that the Yellow Submarine would give their all in spite of the fact that they have not enjoyed a decent run of form off
late.
Further commenting upon Thursday’s challenge, Spanish international told, "We are braced for a very difficult match, but we believe in ourselves and keeping the dream of going through to the final is very much alive,” said Cazorla. “We have to take our opportunities,
try to sneak a goal every time we get in the final third.”

The mid-fielder admitted that Villarreal have recently been through a patchy period but insisted that his side would never let the rustiness get better of them. The Yellow Submarine slipped to a 3-2 defeat against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sevilla-FC-c40484 in their last game played on
Sunday, April 24. They were also on the receiving end against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-CF-c40864 where Villarreal were thrashed by a 5-0 margin. The match was played on Sunday, April 10.
Cazorla claimed that the Yellow Submarine have enjoyed a decent run of form in the Europa League and desired to continue that good form. The 26-year-old also praised Porto’s inform striker http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Radamel-Falcao-c30276 and believed that his team would need to shut the
striker down if they are to go away with a win.
He concluded by saying, "Falcao is Porto's most dangerous man, we'll have to keep a close eye on him,” said the 26-year-old. “We can't lose the ball near to our penalty area; we have to have to keep possession – then we'll have a chance.”
Villarreal will travel away to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186 in the first leg of their Europa League semi-final on Thursday, April 28 at the Estadio do Dragao.
