Villarreal fans back Iñigo Pérez and urge patience | OneFootball

Villarreal supporters back Iñigo Pérez and urge patience as the team steadies after a rocky start. According to El Periódico Mediterráneo, confidence has lifted during a long break, though many still want time before passing judgement.

Results improved after a damaging loss to Betis at La Cerámica. Pérez found a formula at the sixth attempt with victory at La Rosaleda, then beating Levante further settled the side as a new style beds in.

Fans say early performances worried them, but recent wins have restored belief in the head coach. There is caution over the Champions League after last season, yet many still feel the team can compete.

From the bar Madrigal, José Díaz views this as a new era and notes the contrast with Marcelino’s final 5-1 against Atlético. He believes time is essential, accepts some matches have disappointed, and expects players such as Ilias and Moleiro, both internationals, to adapt.

Long-time member Carmen urges calm, stressing that settling under a new coach takes work. She and her friend Rosario prioritise LaLiga survival and top-flight football in the town, with Rosario adding that sharper finishing is needed.

Regular attendee Albert welcomes the breather and trusts Pérez to kick on. He calls the Champions League an unfinished task, hoping at least for wins, and dreams of a Copa del Rey run, ideally to a final in Sevilla.

For now, anxiety has eased and the focus is forward, with faith in Pérez and an appetite for stability.
