“In Dortmund we play without anxiety”

George Sampaoli coach of Sevilla, hoping that his team shows against Mallorca that the improvement directed above all against Dortmund in Germany is a fact and that his team achieved the first victory since his arrival.

Sevilla need it the three points to break out of the slump and begin an ascent that restores the confidence of the group and the fans and that brings it closer to the heights, where this team is used to fighting.

“In Dortmund we took a step to know that we can play without difficulty and that led to dominance. PWe could win perfectly, because the rival did not bother us. And that is progress, if we think we can develop that state of mind we can be competitive with anyone,” assured Sampaoli in his press conference before the Son Moix match.

The Argentine believes that the squad is growing in confidence and that it will be transferred to the plane football. “The most important thing in football is the players. This group, who are trying to be good and understand what is going on and want to get out of where they are, will come out. I don’t believe in those who believe they are saviors when it comes to a place, but in making a serious and developed project, which allows us to make a serious, strong, strong Seville… That every fan who goes to the stadium knows what they will see, beyond the result .

Sampaoli respects the Majorca and he knew he was going to be a rival who wasn’t going to make things easy. Not even down Muriqi will allow any type of relaxation. “We played in a very structured Mallorca, which was very difficult for Real Madrid, which was very difficult for Barcelona and if we don’t play our football from its structure, we can make many injuries. They can play with a center forward like his name or with a player with a different profile, more skilled, deeper, more direct. Yes, Muriqi creates starts to win duels enabling transitions, which in Mallorca are very fast. It’s a set that makes rival teams uncomfortable. We have to think that no matter who plays we have to solve our game and star in a game that is very important for us.”

Finally, to Casilda expect Isco to assert his leadership and he remembers a player from his previous spell at Sevilla, Frenchman Samir Nasri. “Honestly, I got to know Nasri over time and he is a leader and the team revolves around him. We have to see if Isco can do something, it will be great. He has the tools and understands the game is good. He will help us a lot to build the emotional connections that allow us to work.”
