比利亚雷教练乌奈·埃梅里在轮换上犯了一个大错误：他们在对阵阿拉维斯的周中比赛中缺乏轮换，因为这对他们来说是双输。他们不仅输掉了比赛，而且他们的主要球员如莫雷诺（Moreno），阿尔卡塞（Alcacer），帕雷霍（Parejo）和阿尔比奥尔（Albiol）实际上踢完了整场比赛！当我们现在谈论乌奈·埃梅里时，必须记住他一直专注于赢得奖杯，而欧联赛是他最喜欢的比赛，他最近在塞维利亚赢得了3次冠军！

周四他们将在欧联赛半决赛的第一回合中直面阿森纳，尽管一直以来对阵巴塞罗那也总是一件大事；但在目前为止，与阿森纳的对话才是本赛季的头等大事。

起码在西甲联赛来看，他们目前表现不错。

Villarreal coach Unai Emery made a big mistake in his rotation - or lack of rotation in their midweek game vs Alaves as it became a double loss for them. They lost the match, yet several of their their key players like Moreno, Alcacer, Parejo and Albiol played practically the whole match. As we are now talking about Unai Emery it has to be remembered that his focus has always been in winning trophies, and the European league is his favourite competition, which he has recently won 3 times with Sevilla!

On Thursday they will host Arsenal in the first leg of the semifinals of the Europa League, it is so far the big match of the season even if hosting Barcelona is also always a big thing.

In La Liga they are in a decent run result-wise,

但是，如果我们更仔细地观察过去的对手，让我感到惊讶的是，他们基本上都是垫底后十名的俱乐部；他们今年唯二面对前四名的球队时，两次都输了两个球。

那两只队伍“也只是”塞维利亚和马竞，而不是巴萨；巴萨在2021年的比赛中领先其余球队。在他们的16场西甲比赛中，战绩是14-1-1，一场失利是对阵皇马，一场平局是那回对阵加的斯，非常不值得也非常不幸的打平。

除了联赛中的这些成绩外，巴塞罗那在杯赛中也表现出色，他们以4-0赢得了毕尔巴鄂，而且本来可以更多，近几个月来几乎所有比赛的表现都非常出色。

But if we look at the opponents more closely it strikes me that they are basically all bottom-10 clubs, the only times they have faced a top-4 team this year both ended in losses by two goals.

And they were "only" Sevilla and Atletico, not Barcelona who have been miles ahead of the rest on year 2021. In their 16 La Liga matches the saldo is 14-1-1, the loss came in the Classico v Real Madrid, the draw was a very undeserved and unlucky one v Cadiz.

Apart from these results in the league Barcelona also were brilliant in the cup where they won Bilbao by 4-0 and it could had been more, the performances have been superb in almost all games in recent months.

好消息是，他们的伤病担忧有所缓解，重要的后卫球员Araujo和Pique回来了，现在唯一的新球队担心是教练Koeman和年轻的后卫Mingueza之间的个人恩怨。

巴塞罗那正在追逐排名前的皇马，他们的优势是不再需要考虑欧冠的事情，他们的防守和进攻与黄金时期一样具有吸引力，而且虽然听着无聊，但我除了再次支持他们赢以外别无他选。

希望这是一场兼具娱乐性和高进球的比赛，也许埃梅里会在比赛初期就选择放弃了。莫雷诺需要休息，才能保留体力去参加阿森纳比赛！

And the good news is that their injury worries have eased up, important defending players Araujo and Pique have returned, now the only new squad worry is some personal encounter between coach Koeman and young defender Mingueza.

Barcelona are chasing the Madrid teams in the table for real and they have the advantage of not being anymore in the CL, they are defensively solid and offensively as attractive as they were with their golden years, and as boring it may sound I have no option but to back them again to win.

Hoping for an entertaining and goal-rich encounter, and Emery to give up early in the game when tracing. Moreno need to get rested and saved for the Arsenal game!
