Castro called for “calm and patience” and guaranteed Mendilibar’s continuity

The president of Sevilla, José Castro, asked the fans for peace of mind and patience, but also concern, for the terrible start of the league of the team, for the first time in its history without the addition of a points in three days, and guarantee José Luis Mendilibar’s continuation at the helm of the team even though he suffered another defeat in his visit to Atlético de Madrid at the Metropolitano.

“No, you have to be patient, I understand that the fans are running out of patience at the moment, but the leaders have to be of a different type, two months ago we were here to celebrate a title, which not many can say, with that coach who made us champion, we would all like to have more points but the points will come, I’m sorry”. The supreme president’s remarks reached the exit of the team from the Cathedral of Seville, where he starred in the usual floral offering to the Virgen de los Reyes, patron of the city.

Castro ensured that the board of directors was calm despite the anger that the fans directed at him after the defeat against Girona, with a clear demand for his resignation. “When things don’t work, people rebel in some way. I feel that too because I’m a fan of Sevilla, I’ve been committed to the club for 27 years, and these things serve as a incentive to continue working and on September 2 we have a competitive squad that we all want”.

more reinforcements

Sevilla is trying to finalize the squad with the last reinforcements, even a couple of them that the fans have been waiting for: “I don’t know the signatures that will come, but from now until day 1 there will be movements in inside and outside for sure, we will create a team that makes us happy because we have shown it, we will respond. It was a difficult year, our sports director found himself with many players who are worthless, who do not fit into the plans. and the that barbaric number is difficult to release. Víctor (Orta) is working hard and well and we are confident that in the first instance we will finish removing them and something will come.”

In this sense, he mentioned Lenglet and Sergio Ramos. “Lenglet is an option and we are looking at something else. Sergio Ramos? We have answered that many times.”

I also talk about Jesús Gil Manzano’s arbitration on Saturday against Girona: “We didn’t have luck with the sticks, or with the goals or with the referee’s decisions, where we were hurt. I saw two plays a lot times, it’s offside for more When I look at him, it’s like nothing no matter how much they throw lines and I don’t understand the penalty, he calls the penalty because he can see it clearly, he’s a referee with a lot of experience. things that don’t fool anyone, which are the results. In the last ten games with this referee in the last four years, we’ve won one, lost six and finished third, hopefully our luck will change with him.”
