Gerard Moreno calls for calm as Villarreal eye response in two home matches | OneFootball

Gerard Moreno called for calm after Villarreal’s defeat at Mendizorroza, admitting the start has fallen short with two points from nine. The captain said belief in the group’s work remains intact.

According to El Periódico Mediterráneo, he also underlined that the first three league fixtures were all away from La Cerámica.

The schedule now hands Villarreal two successive home games, an opportunity Moreno views as crucial to build strength and start taking three points.

Reflecting on errors, he urged self-criticism without drama, stressing the need to analyse and improve while focusing on a push to win next week.

He highlighted the lack of cutting edge in the final third, noting that chances came and went, the hosts went ahead and persistence was not enough, leaving them frustrated. Moreno himself went close several times before the interval in Vitoria.

Villarreal now have a long week to train, review and try to secure a first victory against Dépor.
