AaB: Saganowski 20 Enevoldsen 36 Johansson 77
There are only two words that can describe what I was thinking that Tuesday evening. Holy. Shit. Now I’m glad that I ditched my psychology class in order to watch this game, even if it was in a computer lab.
The first half was mostly a 50/50 controlled game. Villarreal really wasn’t playing there best, and aside from me yelling at the computer screen for them to get their asses in gear, it was a meh game at best. Once Saganowski scored we realized that these guys really aren’t messing around like we are. Playing it slow and simple, no chances, and flat out boring. That first goal ended up giving us a nice kick in the ass to respond with a goal only 8 minutes later.
Skip to the 60th minute. Out of NO WHERE. We started getting aggressive, ahead, and dominating. The game heated up and we were playing like the Villarreal everyone knows and loves. From the 67th to the 79th minute, 4 goals were scored. It was goal after goal after goal coming to both sides. Shortly after Mr. Llorente completed his hat trick. Even at the last seconds of the game, AaB attempted to get back up from the beating we gave them, but failed obviously.
So much for my 2-0 prediction hah. I didn’t expect anything like this to happen, but nothing is more exciting then a game full of goals.
Great game for all of Villarreal.
On Sunday we’ll take on Atletico Madrid. If you didn’t see it on Wednesday, they tied with Liverpool FC. The game was ridiculous. Not in the same way our game was, but in the shitty linesman’s calls. As much as I liked Keane, his goal was offsides. That’s not the call that pissed me off. The call where Kun passed it upward to (I forget >_>) and then a shot in the back of the net. Perfect, ONLY THAT THE LINESMAN CALLED IT OFFSIDE. Clearly the poor lad forgot his specs. Oh well :-/.
This will be a great game for both clubs, and hopefully we can take 3 points away at home.
Prediction: 2-1
Vamos Villarreal!

    Amazing match, although I’m a Sevillista, I really enjoyed this match. I was hoping Villareal would win just because I really don’t have anything against them and of course they’re Spanish so them doing well in the CL would suit me just fine. Marcos Senna is honestly amazing, can you believe that the Brasilian federation at one time told him he wasn’t good enough to play for them? HAHA!

    Yeah I’d believe it. Their lost. I’m glad he got nationalized Spanish and helped up win the Euro :) . Great player.

    Sevilla eh? You guys are doing rather good this season. I remember watching some of your matches last year, not bad. Can’t wait till we play you guys.
