Villarreal’s head coach Quique Setién has named Samuel Chukwueze among the players he is banking on to take down former club Barcelona when the league leaders visit the Estadio de ma Ceramica.
For Villarreal this is will be the worst time to host Barcelona, as the Yellow Submarines have only won one of their last five matches in all competition but Setién is adamant that Chukwueze alongside Yéremy Pino and Álex Baena, have the quality to hurt Barcelona.
As revealed by Comuniate, Setién said, “Potentially, all three (Chukwueze, Baena, and Pino) have extraordinary qualities.”
“They are very valid and very capable of doing many things. There are top-level footballers who make a mistake once every ten games. What remains for our footballers is to make good decisions. They know football.”
It’s really a bad time to host Barcelona as the league leaders are on a run of 10-game winning streak.
Super Eagles legend, Emmanuel Amunike, has expressed satisfaction with the nomination of Moses Simon in the 30-man short list of the African Player of The Year.
