Iñigo Pérez aims to bounce back for Villarreal against Getafe

Iñigo Pérez admits Villarreal are going through the toughest moment of the season after losses to Espanyol and PSG, and he believes the side can turn things around this Sunday against Getafe. The coach accepts that losing like this takes its toll on the group's morale, although football always offers another chance.

On the pressure, he says the pressure he feels is the one he has put on himself since he began as a coach, and that his responsibility to the club and the project has not changed. According to MARCA, Iñigo says he has not noticed any distance from the club: the closeness, trust and affection remain, even after the hardest day. He also defends his style of play, without drastic changes after defeats, and admits that if any player is not fully convinced by it, the responsibility is his.

The heavy defeat to PSG left a bitter taste, although he believes Villarreal are not so far from them. Conceding four goals in eight minutes has created doubts that did not exist before, and the coach asks his players not to fall into anxiety against Getafe. Alasanne Diatta is injured, while Nathan Saliba will be available despite the pain he is carrying.
