Thus, Escribá wants his team to go out onto the pitch at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán stadium with maximum intensity to take the three points from Sevilla: “We’re going to Sevilla to win, but we’re fighting for different objectives. It’s one of the hardest matches, the Sánchez-Pizjuán is a stadium where both the players and the fans pile on the pressure. Our aim is to pick up the three points to fight for our objective”.
The Yellows boss has some important players out for this match, but will also have some players back for Sunday: “We can count on Cheryshev.

Lastly, Fran Escribá revealed what the key to winning the match will be: “We aim to be strong in defence and go for their goal. When we play against big teams we always aim to keep a clean sheet and go in search of their goal. We’re good enough to score against them. We’re going there to win and put in a good performance”.
