Chukwueze Deployed As A Midfielder In Villarreal Pre-season Game by Oldboss(m): 8:23pm On Aug 24, 2020 |
Samuel Chukwueze has played his first
game under new Villarreal coach Unai
Emery, who took over the reins from
Javi Calleja last month,
allnigeriasoccer.com reports.
The Yellow Submarine defeated
Segunda División side Cartagena 3-1 at
the Pinatar Arena in Murcia in their first
pre-season friendly on Sunday.
The official team sheet showed that the
Nigeria international was deployed as a
right midfielder by the Spanish football
tactician and he was joined in midfield
by former Arsenal star Coquelin, Parejo
and Ontiveros.
Chukwueze is predominantly used as a
right winger for club and country so
that he can cut inside with his stronger
left foot.
Emery fielded a different starting lineup
for the second half of the Cartagena
test which saw Chukwueze among the
eleven players replaced at half-time.
The La Liga club secured the win
thanks to goals from Fernando Nino,
Gerard Moreno and Paco Alcacer, while
Villarreal loanee Simón Morneo pulled a
goal back for the second-tier side.
Villarreal's next pre-season friendly
comes up against CD Tenerife on
Tuesday, August 25. |
