“Linking two victories is a good way to lay the foundations to start coming back”
MADRID, 14 Sep. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Sevilla’s General Sporting Director, Ramón Rodríguez Verdejo ‘Monchi’, highlighted the importance of combining two victories, a “good” way to lay the “foundations” to overcome their bad start to the season, in which they got their first win this Sunday against RCD Espanyol, so they hope to continue on the path of victory against Copenhagen in the Champions League, although “it won’t make them forget all the problems”.
“Linking two victories, yes, it is a good way to lay the foundations to start coming back. It is an important game to corroborate what we saw as good in Cornellá, but with the level of demand from Sevilla, winning today does not make us forget all the problems”, said Monchi in an interview with the official media of the Nervionense club that Europa Press collects.
In this line, the Director General recognized the importance of winning on the second day of the highest continental competition. “When you come from a negative streak, a hard-fought and deserved victory like the one the other day feeds our ego and is a good starting point, but you have to renew that desire with another victory so that it is not the flower of a day”,
“We play the most important competition in the world and it is good that we value it so that perspective does not make us lose our way. The format is very short and this year it will go by even faster. The margin for error is small and when you lose in home, the ideal thing is to recover that loss of points as soon as possible”, Monchi pointed out.
Asked about his rival tonight, the man from San Fernando praised the Danish team, which also started with a defeat (3-0) against Borrussia Dortmund. “We will live in a hostile environment because what they want to achieve is to get a victory today,” he said.
“EVERYONE HAS TO ASSUME THEIR RESPONSIBILITY WITHOUT FALLING INTO MADNESS”
About the start of the championship, ask for restraint. “We have to put things on balance. We can’t say that nothing is happening, but neither that the season is over. Each one has to assume their responsibility but without falling into total madness that there is no solution to this. The squad has experience, it’s a united locker room with the desire to achieve things,” he added.
Asked about Isco’s progress, Monchi praised the Andalusian’s work after his arrival this summer from Real Madrid. “If you play for eight years at Madrid and you are very important at specific moments, you have to have something. There is an important part of the player and also of Julen, who has managed to get him motivated, which was the doubt that was in the environment”, recognized.
He also spoke about the Belgian Januzaj and the Danish Dolberg, incorporated on the last day of the market: “Isco has needed almost a month and Adnan comes almost in the same line. The quality is there and we have to wait for him to get well. Kasper He has had a shoulder injury, he has been able to train without contact and he is on a higher step, but he lacks it. Every day that passes is a point in our favor because it is adding up”, he finished.
“Sevilla is an ambitious team in all competitions and we are going to try to finish in the top four. The start has not been good but there is room to improve, and in the ‘Champions’ we will pass the group stage. Neither of them The goals are easy even though we have achieved them regularly and we are going to fight for them until the last moment”, he concluded.
