Lopetegui: “They deserved the victory, although it was excessive”

Julen Lopetegui, Sevilla coach, did not hesitate to be critical of the role of his team against Chelsea and wanted to give his vision of what happened on the pitch: “I think they were just deserving of the victory, although it was an excessive win. The team came up with 0-1 but we could not take advantage of the chances. They take advantage of the cons a lot, it is a team designed to win the Champions League.”

About Vaclik: “The reality is that it was a setback and it must be said. He had some discomfort and in the warm-up he suffered. In the dressing room he told us that it hurt and that he could not play the duel. Real Madrid? We'll see if they come. Alfonso Alfonso He had nothing to do with the win on his debut, he made good saves and we must remember that we are qualified for the eighth. “

Team play: “The 0-2 was a goal that hurt us a lot, until then we were in the game.”

Real Madrid: “We play every three days, and now we have to watch that match. We are also classified for the eighth of the Champions League and it is not easy, there will be many teams that are not going to achieve it.”


Lampard: “Giroud's performance has been memorable”

Chelsea manager Frank Lampard made a very positive balance after beating Sevilla 0-4 on the fifth day of the Champions League group stage (confirming first place) and highlighted the performance of his player Olivier Giroud , author of the four targets against the Andalusians.

“It is not always usual, but Giroud is a great professional. Their performances have shown that they are a great example for young people. You have to train well because the opportunity ends up coming. Today has been memorable, a fantastic performance, scoring four goals in the Champions League is not easy. I am delighted for him, “he said.

In relation to the clash and his bet on the eleven for some less common players, coach 'blue' indicated that he was clear about his idea. “I don't like tempting fate. Levels go up in the next phase. The competition goes up, but now we are in a different place. I knew that my players were going to react to this game as they have, “he added.

“The players have worked very hard in the last few months. We have had a lot to do with that and boost our spirit to compete. But the most important thing is the players who have to go out and play. The competition is really good, but consistency makes you win titles. You can't perform like tonight and then lower our levels in other games, “he said.
