Motivated
“If we were to seek self-motivation it would be facing Sevilla, the derby, which is sufficient argument in itself to go in with our eyes wide open”.
Continue the streak
“I think everything is very special for us as we’re at a good moment, and want to continue this run. We’ve gone from being at the bottom end of the table to the middle, with aspirations to climb higher still. As such, this match comes at the right time and I hope we can make the most of competing against a great rival who always sparks a lot of attention”.
Sevilla
“They are a tremendously competitive rival, full of enthusiasm, not easy to dominate, with a lot of back and forth as the players have a great deal of energy, play with heart and are of skill and quality. Therefore, we can’t not consider them a major rival as up until very recently they were competing with the biggest teams in our League”.
Young players
“Luis Muñoz performed very well in Granada, with great authority. We’ve always said, it doesn’t matter the age or number on his back, so it’s possible he may continue playing in that position”.
Present and future
“There are opportunities for everyone and everyone has to live up to them. As we said a few weeks ago, next season has already started. This series of games after a not so good year, serve to evaluate the future and adjust the present, which I believe is what we’re doing. It’s a shame the competition is almost over as we’re comfortable now, but it’s also a good way to lay the foundations for next season”.
