On the other hand, second-placed Madrid host Sporting Gijon in a winnable clash at the Bernabeu.<\/p>\n<p>Villarreal are one of the better sides in Spain and Adebayor is hopeful that the Yellow Submarine can conjure up a shock result against the Spanish champions.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Villarreal play good football and could cause an upset against Barcelona,\u201d said the Togolese forward to the club&#8217;s official website.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt will be tough for Bar\u00e7a to face Villarreal away from home. I think it\u2019s going to be a very good game. I believe Villarreal have the right instruments to cause big problems for Barcelona.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Looking ahead to their own game against Sporting, the former Arsenal player enthused: &#8220;We\u2019re playing at home this Saturday. It will be difficult to open with a goal, but we have to make it easy for ourselves and concentrate 100 per cent to keep our dream of winning the title alive.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have a good record at home and we just have to play our game with both our key men down the wings and our striker up front.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt will be tough because visiting sides always want to show off and do their best at the Bernabeu. We\u2019ll have to show them in the opening 10 minutes that we don\u2019t kid around and that we\u2019re out there to win the game. I\u2019d bet on us winning this weekend.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Adebayor is currently on loan with the Blancos from English club Manchester City and is scheduled to return to Eastlands at the end of the season. However, the 27-year-old is keen to remain at the Bernabeu.<\/p>\n<p>He said: &#8220;This is a fantastic club &#8211; the atmosphere and the way we work are great for players. I hope I stay here as long as possible. I don\u2019t just want to stay here; I want to win titles as well. That\u2019s what I\u2019m here for.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If I didn\u2019t believe we could win La Liga I wouldn\u2019t play football again. We have to win nine games to dream about winning the title.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Don\u2019t get me wrong; it\u2019s not going to be easy, but we have to manage to do that and see what happens next.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>        <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/948bf696125682_news.jpg-150x150.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Read the original post:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.goal.com\/en-gb\/news\/3277\/la-liga\/2011\/04\/01\/2421848\/real-madrid-striker-emmanuel-adebayor-backs-villarreal-to-defeat-\" title=\"Real Madrid striker Emmanuel Adebayor backs Villarreal to defeat Barcelona\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Real Madrid striker Emmanuel Adebayor backs Villarreal to defeat Barcelona<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> By Subhankar Mondal 1 Apr 2011 22:21:00 Adebayor celebra su gol con el Real Madrid ante el Racing de Santander Related Links Teams Players Real Madrid striker Emmanuel Adebayor believes that Villarreal can do his side a favour by defeating arch rivals Barcelona in the Spanish Primera Division on Saturday. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-359626","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-business"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
