Jose Luis Mendilibarcoach of SevilleI was on a cloud after getting rid of the Manchester Utd with a big game, knocking down a European colossus and battering him after voiding him from the field.
The atmosphere was magnificent, the effort of the footballers was brutal and the joy was overflowing at the end of the match. “Grateful to have this opportunity to play in the quarterfinals against Manchester Utd. I always train small teams and this allows us to see that when given the option we can train these types of players. Thanks to the players, they are the architects of all this. They believe in what we ask of them and they are good. The first goal is a steal from above and so is the second. Ultimately, a coach’s job is to get the group to believe what they are being told. Today was a great day and I hope it won’t be the last”, commented the Basque coach.
deliver He admitted that the fans took to the team quickly. “You feel coming to the stadium with all the people supporting you. The start of the game with the anthem… It’s a feeling that you know they’re going to help you. Everyone you have there is going to help you. Grow up us, we thought we could beat Manchester United. The players have to stay the same: believe, believe and believe. It was a great day and hopefully it won’t be the last.”
The Biscayan coach assured that he did not expect to open the game so early. “The thought was that it would be a match game, that until the last moment it could not be explained and in the end in the last twelve minutes we were calm. Sometimes you have to be thankful for those things,” he emphasized.
The Zaldibar native was asked why he was hit in the locker room. “Simplicity I imagine. I am who I am, period. I have been in many teams of all categories. I started in Regional and now we are in the UEFA semifinals with a good team. I have not driven anyone crazy. Above all , simplicity, which is an important thing in football”.
Finally, I drew briefly on his next rival, Juventus: “It is a completely different rival than united. Rockier, stronger as a team. Maybe they don’t have that pace, but they are more of a team than United. I’m thinking of a tougher opponent than this one.”
