With the idea of reducing tension in the face of the derby, the president of Sevilla, José Castro, He has offered a press conference telematically to unmark his club of statements that have lit the wick, or have followed the one that flame raised by Loren. Characters like José María del Nido or Joaquín Caparrós They have added fuel to the fire, the last being the former Utreran coach, whom the Monchi himself He had to amend the plan with an illustrative, “let's throw it on the ground.”
ThusCastro He wanted to give the club version of all this rivalry that sounds like old times. “All I can say is that from Sevilla we respect any rival, and of course Betis, which has a good team. It will be a competitive and difficult game. We are convinced that we can win, but opinions are opinions. It is the opinion of Del Nido or Caparrós and not mine“The president stressed, who wanted to mark the line of the Nerviano club in terms of rivalry:” From within the club we are going to opt for prudence. We have long passed from localisms. Beating Betis is important, but what matters to us are the three points, which are necessary for our objectives. From Sevilla we will have work, sacrifice and prudence ”.
The Utreran businessman insists that Sevilla has a very ambitious goal ahead of it and eleven days to play. “We cannot think only about the match against Betis. We have important commitments after Betis and we must think of everything ”, he argued.
Castro also referred to the possible crowd of fans outside the stadium in the derby., given the impossibility of accessing it. “We are concerned and concerned. It is not a whim or something we want. Let everyone watch the games at home. It is not good that the hobby accumulates anywhere. It is out of our scope and I hope that everything goes through the right channels, “he wished while does not see feasible right now that the fans, as the Government has pointed out in phase 3, can enter the matches: “I see it excessively fast and practically impossible. The only thing they have said is that we are all in phase 3 and we will not be all next week. We have to be careful. LaLiga is working hard and well. Hopefully there will be an audience when before. You have to be patient. What we do will be from the hands of LaLiga and this from the health authorities. ”
Finally, he talked about the famous barbecue and a possible internal sanction to those involved. “The players were able to train the next day without problem. They are internal issues (sanctions) and we will see them in due course. The important thing is that they asked sorry publicly and are fully involved in the team. We all make mistakes and they made it. There is no LaLiga sanction because it is not in the protocol and they know that Sevilla have been scrupulous in all the measures of the Covid-19 that they have put on us. They will not commit it any more, neither they nor others, because they know what we are playing for. “
