Julen Lopetegui, Sevilla coach, appreciated the victory achieved against Krasnodar: “We are happy for the three points. I think we deserved this victory, although it was difficult because everything bad that could happen happened to us. Everything happened very quickly, we were 0-2 in minute 30 without having deserved it. Then came the expulsion of Jesús Navas and that added difficulty “.
About the reaction, it was clear: “The mentality, the character and the effort of the team was barbarous. There were many goal situations, we suffered but we finally achieved the goal.”
In Nesyri: “We are always happy when the forwards score. The important thing is the team's work, the goals will come for sure if we have chances.”
Start in Champions: “We are still in Ecuador, there are great teams and the second part of the group remains. We have to change the chip and think about Saturday's game. We will have less than 72 hours and we will look for solutions.”
Musaev: “This defeat has no justification”
The coach of the Russian Krasnodar, Murad Musáev, assured, after Sevilla traced back a 0-2 at the Sánchez-Pizjuán this Wednesday, that “this defeat has no justification” and that it is “only the fault” of him and his men, who “with one less” should have “controlled the party.” “We are dedicated only to defending and we end up losing,” lamented Musáev, who does not want to “talk about the future” but is known to be on the tightrope due to the crisis of results in which Krasnodar is immersed, and stressed that he is aware that its “future is in the hands of the staff”. “What we have talked about in the dressing room after the final result stays in the dressing room. I will not make it public,” the Russian coach stressed.
Midfielder Yuri Gazinski, for his part, admitted that “it is difficult for him to assess what happened” but considered that his team should “draw conclusions from this defeat” because after “going ahead and with one more”, they should “have won.” It is a tough defeat, the hardest of my entire career. We knew about the complexity of the game. We made good use of our moments in the first half but I don't really know what happened afterwards, “added the Russian.EFE
