Villarreal’s Juan Carlos Garrido: We Are Not Yet Through To The Europa League Semi-Finals

Villarreal coach Juan Carlos Garrido has warned his players against complacency during their clash with Twente in the second-leg of the Europa League quarter-finals on Thursday evening.

The Yellow Submarine won the first leg 5-1 at El Madrigal in Spain last week and are now favorites to qualify for the last four of the competition.

However, Garrido believes that they cannot start celebrating a place in the semi-final yet and told Uefa.com: “We need to go to the Netherlands and finish the job. The first-leg was a good performance simply because that was what was required. To get to the Europa League semi-finals isn’t easy and needs a huge push.

“To beat them in the first-leg we needed to work very hard because they pressed us well and it took us a while to impose ourselves. When we did we produced some very good football, which was converted into the 5-1 lead. We need to play that well again.”

Villarreal will also hope to bounce back from their 5-0 defeat to Valencia in the Primera Division at the weekend.
