Before the response Champions League match with Arsenal taking place on Tuesday, "Villarreal" coach Manuel Pellegrini was feeling optimistic.
"We have overcome many important stages this season, but we are not satisfied with what we have achieved. Now we are here to take the final step and reach the final," said Pellegrini.
Pellegrini promises to use Arsenal's own tactics against them, that is, patient play rather than attacking directly.
Also, the Chilean specialist stated that he has an advantage in that Arsenal is considered the favorite in the match and is under pressure from the environment.
Meanwhile, Villarreal defender Juan Roman Riquelme believes that to reach the final, they will need to play perfectly: "We will play against a great team on our field, so we must play fantastic matches. If we succeed - we will reach the final."
In the match on Tuesday, defender Juan Manuel Pena should appear in the starting lineup after recovering from an injury, which will restore the former "Villarreal" center-back tandem with Quique Alvarez.
