Villarreal came to this 2022 with the need to react in the League, since the final part of the previous year the team had been away from the first places in the qualifying table and outside Europe. What’s more, the castellonenses started the year with injuries and casualties for the calls for the African Cup, which meant that the yellows arrived with almost 10 casualties and, without forwards, to face the start of the year.
But after two months of competition and eight league games, Emery’s team is one of the best in points and wins. To which it adds to be top scorer of this period and second least scored.
A) Yes, Villarreal in 2022 would be the leader tied with Barcelona by Xavi, both with 17 points in these eight games (although Barcelona has only played seven). This year’s submarine it would be a Champions team, improving teams like Atlético de Madrid, Sevilla and Real Madrid (the whites with one less game).
In addition, the yellows are the top scorer of all the teams in the category in this series. His 21 goals exceed Atlético’s 18 goals, the 17 of Barcelona or, the 16 goals of Real Betis.
And if in terms of goals in favor it is the best team this new year, It is also the second least scored team, since in these matches they have only conceded five goals, which makes them equal to Sevilla and Real Sociedad; being one goal behind Real Madrid with one game in hand.
It should be noted that in these eight games the team has been able to score three goals, two for five goals, against Espanyol and Levante; to which they add one to four with Granada and three to zero with RCD Mallorca.
A start of the year in which they have only been defeated in one match, when falling by one to zero in Elche, since the rest of the matches have ended with five wins, two draws and a single loss. In addition, the team has been able to leave the Champions League tie open after drawing with Juventus Turin, waiting to play the tie in the second leg. The only mole the defeat against Sporting de Gijón in the Cup.
