Villarreal faces Oviedo, the contrast in status attracts attention

Hello everyone! I am a senior, + me, bringing you a different experience in watching football.

Villarreal, they have made a lot of noise in the transfer market during the offseason. Forward Alberto Morriro joined from Las Palmas for 16 million euros. This guy is full of impact and can bring new vitality to the team's forward line. Central defender Santiago Mourinho has been transferred from Atletico Madrid for a transfer fee of 10 million euros, and his arrival strengthens the defense. Fullback Buchanan joined from Inter for €9 million, enhancing the team's wing offense. Central defender Rafa Marin joined on loan from Napoli, and midfielder Thomas Partei joined from Arsenal freely, but Partei was deeply involved in a lawsuit, and it is still unknown whether he can make a appearance.

Young player Jeremiah Pino performed well last season, making 34 appearances in La Liga, starting 25 times, contributing 4 goals and 7 assists. Many wealthy families want to poach him this summer, but this young man values love and friendship, chose to stay in the team, and even put on the captain's armband in the friendly match. He is definitely the core figure of the "yellow submarine" in the new season.

But Villarreal also left many key players in the offseason. Assistant midfielder Baena was sent to Atletico Madrid and the team received a transfer fee of 42 million euros. Baena was the team's offensive engine last season, with 9 assists to revitalize the entire team. With his departure, the team's midfield organization felt like it was missing the backbone. It was difficult for someone to take over his role in the short term. This would have a great blow to the team. In addition to Baena, forward Dinole Barry transfers to Everton for €30 million, forward Ferrari goes to St. Turden, Belgium, and center Pasqual is also traded to Granada. Windback Dan Juma and right back Femenia joined Valencia and Getafe respectively. With so many people leaving the team, the team's strength will be affected a little.

Look at their status again. At the end of last season, Villarreal scored 6 consecutive victories and directly qualified for the Champions League, and was in full swing. However, in the offseason friendly match, their performance was extremely bad, with 3 draws and 3 losses in 6 games, and no win. Facing Aston Villa, Genoa and Portugal Sports, there is no power to resist, which also makes everyone a little worried about their first match in the new season. In addition, the team's defender Cambwala was injured in a hamstring and was reimbursed for the season. Another defender, Costa, had a torn cruciate ligament, also said goodbye to this season in advance, and the defense line suffered serious loss.

In contrast, Real Oviedo, as a newly promoted team, actively recruited players to improve their strength during the offseason. Red Star Belgrade bought midfielder Ilyic for 2 million euros, bought winger Keira from Girona, introduced midfielder Renner and midfielder Domingos in the free market, and loaned Pachuca center Longton, Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Moldova, and two centers Fres and Palasiv. This series of operations greatly increases the team's lineup depth. In the friendly match, Real Oviedo remained unbeaten in 3 matches, 1 win and 2 draws, and also drew with Villarreal, which greatly improved the morale of the team. However, they also have trouble. Defensive player Costas was sent off in the last minute of the last playoff game last season. This red card was postponed to La Liga. He could only watch from the wall in the first round of the new season, and he is the absolute main force of the team's defense. His absence has a great impact on the team's defense.

Judging from the past confrontations between the two teams, Villarreal has remained unbeaten in the last 5 matches, scoring 4 goals and conceding 1 goal, gaining the upper hand. In terms of overall strength, Villarreal qualified for the Champions League last season, and although Real Oviedo successfully upgraded, he did not show his dominance in the Spanish Second Division. There is still a gap between the two teams, and Oviedo still played away in this game.
