Villarreal began the campaign with high expectations, yet Pérez acknowledged they are in a difficult moment and must work hard to change it.

He pointed to a lack of effectiveness in attack and defensive mistakes as decisive factors in recent losses.

Pérez stressed that improvement in those areas is essential if the team are to compete in the league.
