Iñigo Pérez: "The team's patience has been praiseworthy"

Villarreal manager Iñigo Pérez praised his team's patience after a 2-0 win over Getafe, noting they overcame a well-organized defensive setup despite a difficult week.

Villarreal manager Iñigo Pérez reflected on his side's 2-0 victory over Getafe on Sunday, highlighting the patience required to break down the visitors' defensive structure. "We weren't brilliant and it was hard to find the gaps because Getafe defends very well," Pérez said. "It's been a complex week managing emotions and stress could have appeared at any moment."

Pérez explained that Villarreal eventually found reward because Getafe struggled to cope with his team's attacking play. He acknowledged the club's league position is not where expected but stressed there is still time to improve. "This is 11 months and we're in time for everything," he said.

The manager also praised young midfielder Macià's performance, saying he earned his role in the team's setup and provides stability.
