Ayoze stakes his claim at Villarreal with starts, goal and renewed belief | OneFootball

Ayoze Pérez has reasserted his place at Villarreal, starting against Málaga then Levante and hitting the opener at La Cerámica to crown an encouraging week.

According to El Periódico Mediterráneo, the forward is chasing continuity after last season’s injuries, and recent minutes have brought rhythm and confidence.

He viewed the strike against Levante as a release, noting he had gone close in previous outings and that breaking the deadlock felt like overdue relief after sustained pressure.

He believes those back-to-back victories could signal a turning point after a difficult start, with extra value placed on delivering in front of the home crowd.

Ayoze argued that stringing results together will chip away at any lingering doubts, adding that persistence in creating opportunities tends to bring goals and, in turn, points.

His upturn mirrors collective progress as Iñigo Pérez’s side adapt to a very different model. He said it needs time and repetition, recent games have brought long spells of clear control, and he hopes the team keep making big strides to contest the top places.

Villarreal now have three weeks without competitive action due to the international window, which he called unusual but also a chance to reset, clear minds and refine ideas.

After the break the schedule stiffens, so he stressed the need to be ready for the Champions, LaLiga and the Copa.
