George Sampaoli coach of Sevilla, knows that his team is playing this Tuesday match Copenhagen (Sánchez Pizjuán; 6:45 pm) on matchday five of the Champions League group stage. did not win meaning say goodbye with the option to enter the round of 16 and it will be very difficult to access the Europa League. For this reason, the Argentine does not have in mind that his team, facing a final, will fail again.

Sampaoli believes that his team is growing up although the final defeat against the real Madrid have strengthened the doubts. “There is an evolution for what we want from the important game. The team stood up equal to Madrid, He stood up well in the second half with Valencia having options to win, which didn’t happen due to the circumstances of the game. But evolution requires results and we have to inherit this situation which we need to solve as soon as possible. For tomorrow we have to put the players already is less worn and that they are fresh. We can’t put players at 50% because we won’t have the same production, and there will be some variation tomorrow and Saturday,” he explained.

The man from Casildense believes that his team can win at the Bernabéu, but it was hindered by errors of time, such as bankruptcy. “The anger remains, because we were ten minutes away from tying the game or winning it and with two unforced errors we lost the game in Sevilla’s best moment and in a moment of confusion in Madrid… But this is football and we have to continue promoting the best, the good, and from there continue to grow”.

Sampaoli respects Copenhagen, who have the same points as Sevilla, and drew against Manchester City. “Copenhagen defends very close to the crowd. They managed to draw at home with City. This is a very organized team, that goes out to the extreme and if we don’t live up to our standards we will have a bad night. They linked up with the best team in the world and that brings attention for us.”
