Lopetegui: “This profession does not allow you to enjoy what you have achieved”

Julen Lopetegui, Sevilla coach, went through the official media of the white and red entity to review the news. Among other things, did not want to value the title options nor to enter Champions: “I am of letters and the letters say Real Sociedad to me. The numbers are only final when the season finishes. Once it finishes, each one has the number that corresponds to him”.

Asteasu's remembered this difficult year due to the pandemic, more for Sevilla even: “It's a different situation to which a football team has never been able to live. We are all in a different situation, but us we had to play two almost consecutive seasons, with twelve players resting only five days. Many games in a short time frame, because from July until recently we had played 58 games. It is a lot, but it is something that we cannot change and we have to adapt. “

If speech does not change: “See lor what have you got makes you lose energy in what you have to do. Journalists want you to talk about the distant future or the past, but they don't understand that the elite world lives on the continuous present. Of course I have a memory (for the Sixth Europa League) and it will always be in my heart, but once it is achieved we always look to the following “.

Julen recognizes what does not savor the triumphs much: “My wife tells me many times. I enjoy my way. Surely you do not have enough time to enjoy a triumph because as soon as it ends you think about the next challenge. You get into the next movie and the one that happened is already written. I think that our profession does not allow us to enjoy much of what we have achieved. Elite football requires that and anything that departs from that is giving others an advantage. “

Lopetegui spoke of his landing in Seville two summers ago, with Monchi as the great supporter: “We had a meal in Madrid Y we had never spoken deeply. In that conversation it became clear to me that this is where I wanted to be. It was easy to agree and I keep a nice memory of that first meeting with Monchi. We saw that we had a lot in common and it was all simple. “

“The Seville is a big but very agile club, with closeness. It has the advantages of a big club but also those of family and close clubs. In all positions of the club there is a lot of passion and a lot of self-demand. That soaks the players and all of us who came from outside, “he concluded.
