Diego Alonso still seems confident to continue

Diego Alonso may have directed the last game in charge of Sevilla. The defeat against Lens was very difficult for the Uruguayan coach, who has not won since replacing Mendilibar except for two games in the Copa del Rey against Regional and Third teams. Eleven games without a win, seven in the League (2 losses and 5 draws) and 4 losses in the Champions League.

However, the one from Montevideo sees himself with the confidence of the club. “So far I have felt permanent and complete support. From Víctor Orta, from Pepe Castro, from the players… It’s complicated, we want to win. We as fans are suffering. I’m not talking about luck, because you train and you have to deal with it. We will continue to search and insist on every detail to be better, and on Saturday Getafe will pay the price and we will deliver victory,” said the coach.

“If we want to reverse this we must be strong and think about Getafe now. I feel strong because I see the response of the players on the field. It’s not the locker room, it’s the field that says it. Loyalty, discipline, always facing the locker room. But on the field, you feel, you notice, the public sees how the team reacts. Footballers deserve that we move forward,” insisted the Uruguayan despite everything, complaining lukewarmly about German Zwayer’s refereeing: “Also today the first penalty awarded was not a penalty, but I’m not making excuses for the refereeing, or for bad luck. Our luck is that we train every day from seven in the morning to seven in the afternoon. And I give myself every day.”

Alonso laments what has befallen his people and remains satisfied with the work done: “There’s no doubt we lacked efficiency the number of times we came, and ineffective, they took the lead. The team continued, tied, but in the end with the team falling they got 2-1. The result is cruel to what we do. Football is cruel especially to footballers, what they do on the field. Even the fans, the club, because there is support,” he said.
