Cazorla told Spanish newspaper AS:
“It’s a very even tie but I believe if Villarreal play as they can, they have a great chance to go through. Any team can suffer at Anfield, and they will suffer for sure. But they key to the tie will be [the first leg] at El Madrigal".
“[Liverpool] have a clear philosophy, they are an intense team up front, they press very high up, but if Villarreal get past this pressure and can move the ball around, they will have made a lot of progress.”
He also said that Philippe Coutinho is Liverpool’s “best player,” adding: “He makes the difference for them. A lot of their play goes through him.”
