Nigeria winger Samuel Chukwueze has revealed what his Villareal manager Unai Emery told him when he entered the game against Bayern Munich as a second half substitute.
“[He told me] run! He just asked me to run. When you don’t have the ball, just run. That’s what he told me,” Chukwueze told reporters.
“It [was] not a bad night, I think so. It wanted to be a bad night but unfortunately [for the night], it turned out well.
“I think it’s a very great moment. One of the best of my life. The best thing that happens in life is football. I’m so so happy and the team is happy and the fans… That means the goal means a lot to them.”
“I just wanted to hit it so it would enter. I didn’t waste any time. I just wanted to feel the moment,” Chukwueze continued.
“I watched two hours of videos before this game. I’m just saying because throughout the week it was all about the video. It could be three or two hours. If you calculate it, it could be more.”
Villareal will now meet Liverpool in the semifinals.
