Bruno Sorianothe eternal yellow captain, reviewed Villareal’s moment for AS, assuring that this is for him “the best and most complete”. In addition, he admits that he is “a fan of Capoue and Parejor” although he sees in Gerard the “vital player”. And he is very clear that they must “renew Emery.”
-He is no longer the player with the most games in history. How’s that?
-I am proud and happy for what I have achieved at Villarreal, a career that I am proud of. I am happy that it is Manu Trigueros, a friend, who surpasses me and is he who is now that player. It is a joy that a player of the house as he is take this witness.
-He’s still out of football. Doesn’t it sting him to come back?
-The truth is that I wanted to disconnect a little, but I’m starting to have that bug that makes you look back again and start looking for and remembering everything I did. Although for now I’m fine like this, I prefer to stay outside.
-How is the injury you had?
-To lead a normal life I am fine and that is very important, but it is true that if I do something more than usual I have discomfort and problems. They are discomforts that do not prevent me from leading a normal life, but they are there. I remember the time when I was in pain even in bed, I thought this would be forever.
-Let’s talk about now. Is this Villarreal better than yours?
-For me this is the best Villarreal, the truth is that this is the most complete. Globally and player by player I think so. I compare it with that Villarreal in the semifinals and with Román and Forlán, and this one is more complete. Both have and used to have great players, but now there are two per position and players of quality and experience. It may be time to take that step to win every game and be a team that wins a lot.
-But that’s only done by the greatest…
-Of course it’s complicated, but the other day I read Capoue saying that, it’s something I agree with him on. I see a team and squad to face that challenge. The other day against Sevilla you were superior and you lacked that one more point.
-Where do you see this team?
I see the team fighting for the Champions League, I think the team’s place is in the fight for a place in the Champions League
-What would you highlight?
This is a very strong team, I watch it play and I enjoy it. It is a team that manages the game, which is difficult to score a goal, a team that does not concede anything and that you know always competes to the fullest. The truth is that this Villarreal makes me enjoy and have the feeling that they can always win.
-In whom do you see yourself reflected?
-I pay attention to the people who play in my position: Capoue, Parejo, Trigueros… The truth is that I would have liked to play in this team and with these players. But if I have to stay with someone, it is Gerard, for me he is the best Spanish striker and one of the best.
-Is Gerard so important?
Gerard is the key. If he is not there, it is very noticeable, he is the one who does things differently and makes a difference. Gerard’s loss is vital, the team knows it. If you take away their star, all the teams have a hard time and they notice it.
-What about Emery?
-I really like Emery, I like how he works, how he has built the team and how he makes the team play. He seems to me to be a coach of the highest level, so as a Villarreal fan I would like him to continue for many years. No doubt he would renew it already.
-Your couple with Senna was better than the one with Parejo and Capoue?
-I don’t know what to say, they are two great couples. The truth is that it is something that should be decided by the people.
-What do you think Capo??
-I love Capoue, he plays with a lot of intensity. He is a great player, very intense, he never loses the ball and he has quality. The truth is that he is a player who gives you a lot.
–And the youth players?
The thing with Baena and Yeremy is crazy, but there is Pau, the other day Rodri in the National Team, he is a sample of what the Villarreal academy is. I saw Baena coming from below, I was able to be with him and things of great quality were already seen. Pino is a player that makes me enjoy every time I see him on the field, they are two great players.
