Villarreal coach Setien wary facing Elche today

Villarreal coach Quique Setien is wary facing Elche today.

Setien insists Elche's struggles will count for nothing if his players aren't focused.

He said, “It's a very difficult game. We don't want to be the first team that Elche beat, which could happen because they're bound to at least once in the league this season. They are a team who do things well, who work hard, who put in some extraordinary physical performances and who come together very well when they have to defend."

“The other day we proved that the option of losing also exists even when you do things right. I am very happy with a large part of the game we played and, after watching it again, the feeling I have is the same."

“I'm sure they've forgotten about the standings and the fact that they haven't won a game. They are not a team who are despondent because we have seen them compete against every opponent despite their situation, they compete in every game and they are going to make things very difficult for us."
