Villarreal coach Pacheta was delighted after their 3-2 win at Granada on Monday night.
Gerard Moreno scored twice, with Alexander Sorloth also on the scoresheet for the visitors.
Pacheta later said, "We have had a great Sorloth and a great Gerard. If the two forwards score and are very good, generally we win. But many things have to be fixed.
"This makes us calm down and think about the Cup first and then about Athletic. I take good credit from the feelings of some things and bad of others. We have been stable but, knowing that the dangerous thing about Granada was their transitions, we have had too many losses and we have not finished the plays.
"We have to improve that.
"Sorloth has a blow to his Achilles tendon, which has become inflamed and I hope it is not serious. We have not been successful when we have gone out in transition.
"But I am left with the fact that we had the need to win and we've done it "
