Sevilla coach, Luis GarcíaPlaza, expressed his enthusiasm after the victory against Osasuna, in which the Madrid team returned to winning ways after three days that had only produced one point. The coach highlighted the performance of YoussufFofana, who contributed two assists, one of them with a back-heel shot, and showed himself to be the leader of the team in the match.
Fofana, on loan from Milan at the last moment of the market, arrived as a “gift” in the final minutes of the transfer window. GarcíaPlaza described him as a player of “high level”, pointing out that the incorporation was a surprise, since the club did not expect to be able to count on a player of that quality in such a short term. The coach added that, although Fofana has adapted very well to Sevilla, he still needs to improve his performance to meet the club's demands.
The coach also made reference to the clash with Osasuna, pointing out that the local team showed great resistance and that, in the first minutes, they managed to overcome the Sevillistas. GarcíaPlaza explained that he expected the visitors to play more directly, but that the pressure was not felt as anticipated. To face the game, the coach opted for a 4-4-2, changing the usual system of previous games.
Despite the victory, the coach did not give too much importance to the number of goals conceded, remembering that in the league any team can win or lose at any time. “Win, win and win… I don't care about the rest,” he said, underlining the importance of maintaining consistency in the competition, especially when facing teams like Barcelona and Real Madrid.
With the victory, Sevilla has three points that could be decisive in the fight for classification. The team's next challenge will be to consolidate the performance shown and continue seeking the continuous improvement that the coach considers essential to achieve the club's objectives.
