There is a footballer that Unai Emery trusts, whose performance surprises anyone and everyone. Is about Pau Torresa footballer who recently arrived in the Premier League Villarreal which is talked about a lot. His memorable performance in the well-deserved win against Manchester City has catapulted him to a new dimension: he is already one of the fittest central defenders in the league. And not for nothing.
With the daring and intensity that characterized him in his previous phase in the “Yellow Submarine”, the Villarreal central defender has corrected the weakness that brought him criticism: his weakness in defense and his clumsiness in duels. Now he is a resilient defender who combines amazing ball skills with an overwhelming character. It’s a foundational piece for Emery.

HE HAALAND AND ALL THE “CRACKS” DRIED
Neither Erling Haaland, nor Julián Álvarez, nor Phil Foden, nor Bernardo Silva… couldn’t beat him. It was an impregnable wall and became the worst nightmare for Guardiola and the “Cityzens” footballers on the Villa Park pitch. Between him and Diego Carlos, they completely dried up the “Norwegian giant”. Due to the tight defense, Haaland was forced to constantly receive with his back, without the opportunity to turn around and thus create danger for his team.
With ALL, The Prime Minister’s media presentation has “transformed” Pau Torres into a very complete central defender.. To his 26 years, has played 19 games for Aston Villa this season and has more than earned the role of undisputed player. There is no one left who can take away Emery’s starting position in his plan and he is delighted to have found his ideal defender for the team’s proposal.
Above, below, at the cut, with and without the ball… Pau dominates everything. We’ve even seen him take the attack several times, with several appearances in the form of goals: he has two goals and an assist. His personality infects his teammates, who are watching Aston Villa rise in the Premier League until they reach the Champions League positions and dreaming of a new season with European flair. No matter how it ends, the best Pau Torres dominates.
