The Basque head coach called on the fans ahead of the game against the Andalusian side (Sunday, 4:15pm CEST)
Villarreal head coach Unai Emery appeared in front of the media ahead of the game against Sevilla FC, which will take place this Sunday at 4:15pm CEST at the Estadio de la Cerámica. The Yellows boss underlined the importance of the game against the Andalusian side, due to the objectives of qualifying for Europe next season. Here are the standout declarations of the Basque manager.
Important game
“Sunday’s game against Sevilla is going to be decisive, given how we will look at the table after: a lot depends on winning or losing, what the other teams do… But the most important thing is that we do everything ourselves to not have to depend on anyone else. We need to try and be aware of the importance to do as best as possible, because Sevilla are having a very good season.”
Europe via LaLiga
“From Tuesday to Sunday, you’re capable of recovering emotionally and physically, even if we played a semi-final. Today, we have done a more fun training sesión, and tomorrow we will focus on the match. LaLiga has been the priorirty, from Matchday 1 until Matchday 38. We all get excited about the Copa del Rey and the European competitions, but we need to be in Europe next year. The top four get the biggest rewards, but the other teams, such as us, want to be stable on the pitch and economically.”
A top-class fan abse
“Pride and feeling of belonging thanks to what we’ve acheived are big sensations. LaLiga gives you fewer moments where you feel a part of the team, compared to when you play games that are so transcendental. There was a real loyalty towards the team. Now we need to recognise what the team needs in LaLiga. I would like for the fans to be with us against Sevilla. This is a big match.”
