It has been a very slow weekend news-wise for Villarreal, but fans can now get excited again, as the 2008-2009 season is practically begun! Preseason starts in just a few hours, with most of the team showing up to begin workouts. A few notable squad members will be missing - Nihat, Senna, Cazorla and Capdevila all earned respites by way of Euro 2008. Unfortunately, Nihat's rest will be a little longer than that of the others.
And, although I might come to regret saying this, it is worth pointing out that Atlético Madrid dropped to an embarassing defeat to Mexican side Puebla. There is just something about watching Atlético and Valencia lose that I just can't get enough of....
