Views from the dugout
Villarreal coach García Toral is well aware of the importance of the game: "If we win, we'll be in an ideal position to end the season in sixth place. After going so far in the other two competitions, this team deserve it".
Elche boss Escribá had words of praise for his side’s opponents: "Villarreal have had a great campaign and I think that it’ll be a difficult game despite the fact that they come into it on a bad run. El Madrigal is a very tough ground to go to", he declared.
