In the third round of the Champions League, Villarreal lost 0-2 to Manchester City at home. Villarreal defender Foyt accepted an interview with the media after the game.

The team's current performance

We failed to accumulate enough points at the beginning of the Champions League, and we obviously need to quickly adjust our status. Although the current points are not up to expectations, we are confident that we can regroup and compete with a new attitude. Our performance in the second half is our future direction.

The situation of the game

The opponents did what they should do. When we were in a downturn, they took the opportunity to score, and then their defense was also very solid. When the team fell behind 0-2, we started to show the performance that should have been throughout the game.

The final result is bitter. I should have enjoyed the joy of returning to the team today, but we did not perform well. We could have done better, especially in the first half. Facing the top players in Manchester City, you have to maintain high concentration throughout the whole process.
