ATYPICAL PREPARATION
“I am in favor that each one has their responsibilities, ours is to prepare the team in the circumstances that touch. We try to carry the competition forward from each side, in the best way. It is easy to give an opinion from the outside. What we have to do is prepare the players in the best way. Be grateful, because everything that can happen to us, with what is happening in the world, is minimal.
SEVILLA COMES TO PLAY
“They come from competing, they will have a very good pace, they looked very good. Sevilla compete very well, play very well in the positional position, take advantage of their positional play, eliminate people to break down the wings, with people who arrive in the second row, with good play in the midfield. It is a team that has been competing better and better for years. We will have to take the game where we think we can do harm ”.
LAST HOURS
“We are going to have two sessions. This Tuesday at noon we will train again, we will seek to refine what we believe. How were the previous days? With the difficulties of all people. We had no options to get together, we were able to train at home. Yesterday one group was able to train, the other at home. There are no excuses. These are circumstances for which we have to be prepared. Everything that happened before is not going to matter, tomorrow will matter in terms of criticism and opinion ”.
STATE OF THE METROPOLITAN
“Very good, cleaned, looks good. With normal condition to be able to compete. There will be no difficulty in terms of the playing field ”.
TRIPPIER
“Okay, wanting to play, hooked with his teammates. It is very important for us. Sime is working fine with other features for when we need it. We will decide who plays ”.
DEMBÉLÉ
“It is not confirmed yet. Yes, the situation is very advanced. When I arrive, I will comment accordingly. I'm going to focus on tomorrow's game ”.
ARRIVAL TO THE FIELD
“The need to find alternatives and creativity to train, get together, a great job from the employees so that we could work on the field. We were coming in vans. The main roads are fine, but in urbanizations it is difficult to get out. It was necessary to go to the meeting points. Fortunately we were able to train well ”.
REAL MADRID COMPLAINTS FOR ADVERSE CONDITIONS
“I was not in Zidane's place, it is impossible to feel what he said. Tomorrow it will be cold, the field will get worse and worse. Cold and not much else ”.
LOPETEGUI
“Congratulate him on the renewal, he is doing a great job, with a very defined model, with a team that feels very comfortable with his game. He is part of the team I like Seville, it is competitive, it has a special character. It has been reinforced very well, as always, with a very complete squad. He will compete until the end to try to win LaLiga ”.
