Valencia defeated Villarreal in the 19th round of the Spanish Championship.

On Tuesday, January 2, Valencia beat Villarreal (3:1) in the 19th round of the Spanish Football Championship.

One of the “bats” goals in this game was scored by Ukrainian striker Roman Yaremchuk.

Valencia head coach Ruben Baraja commented on the victory of his players and spoke about the performance of Roman Yaremchuk.

“We all played well, including Roman Yaremchuk, who scored a goal. We can become stronger if we are a competitive team.

None of the rotation players gave up – they showed a serious attitude to the matter. There is an example when a goal from an attacker was needed for confidence. I am sure that Yaremchuk will grow.

I’m happy with the way the team competes. There are times when we don’t win, but we still do well. I make my assessment based on the game with Villarreal. Two wins in a row is always positive because it gives us confidence. If we compete like we did in this game, we will be close to winning more matches.

The match against Villarreal was spectacular and I am glad that the fans were able to enjoy the game because 15,000 people came to training the other day. Their energy charges us.

The Spanish Cup is approaching. Our goal as a club is to perform to the maximum at each tournament. But let me enjoy tonight. The Cup is difficult, and we, like everyone else, will try to get to the next stage,” As quoted Ruben Baraja as saying.

Let us add that the goal against Villarreal was Roman Yaremchuk’s debut in the Spanish Championship. Earlier, the Ukrainian striker scored one goal for Valencia in the Copa del Rey match against Arosa (1:0).

After 19 rounds, Valencia is in ninth place in the La Liga standings with 26 points. On January 7, the “bats” will play the 1/16 finals of the Spanish Cup against Cartagena.
