"Villarreal" coach promises a hot evening for "Liverpool" team

On Thursday begins the semi-finals stage of the Europa League.

"Villarreal" will host the team of "Liverpool" and will seek to build at least a couple of goals advantage before heading to England.

However, before the match, "Yellow Submarine" coach Marcelino played down the favorites' name and did not spare compliments to the future opponents.

"Look at the 'Reds' club, their history, and let's not forget the fact that it was Jurgen Klopp's team that eliminated Borussia Dortmund from the tournament. Therefore, they will probably be the favorites of the match," said the specialist.

"Of course, we do not consider ourselves worse than our opponents and will give everything to make it to the final.

We do not feel pressure, I can mention that I felt more tension during the past tournament matches," Marcelino said.

"We have the opportunity to create team history. If my players manage to enjoy the match and do the things we are capable of, the team of 'Liverpool' could face a lot of problems in our stadium."
