IKECHUKWU UCHE Delighted With Villarreal Form

Villarreal are second on the log after seven matches played in the Segunda division.

Nigeria striker Ikechukwu Uche, who scored his first league goal of the campaign last weekend, is delighted with the form of the Yellow Submarine in Spain's second - tier.

''I'm happy things are going well for me and the team. We're up and we're happy about it. Now is important to be up and go picking up the pace.

''It is too early now to say how things will end up. We have to think game by game and not go further. We have good players and we can make things right, but without haste,'' he was quoted as saying by marca.com.

Sporting Gijon, who also lost their top flight status at the end of the 2011 - 2012 campaign, welcome Uche and his colleagues to the Estadio Municipal El Molinón (Gijón) on Sunday.
