On the night of September 2, La Liga’s fourth round will see Sevilla host Girona at their home ground. Ahead of the match, the team’s coach, Pimienta, attended a press conference.
He first stated: “This week has been short, and we need to be fully prepared for Sunday’s game. Our players are all back, and our training level is very high. We only have Saúl and Suso absent. All of us will give it our all and be ready for a tough match against a very talented opponent. We must return all the momentum the fans gave us that day.”
“We must give it everything we’ve got so they can be proud of us, not just the result. Let them see that we’ve left everything behind, and with this resonance, we’ll be closer to victory. They deserve these efforts from us, and it’s what they deserve,” he added.
Regarding the playing philosophy he is implementing: “We must prepare for everything. We want to be the protagonists in ball possession, and we have the ability to do so. We dominated the game, and we must continue to do so and create more shooting opportunities. Our defense must be more stable; in the Mallorca game, our defense was better, although we also had our share of difficulties. Without conceding goals, you won’t lose. Our opponents are tough, they all possess individual talent, but our goal is to control the ball and attack fiercely.”
“We know what a great club Sevilla is. Logically, we must win. We are in a process, I’m not asking for time, but we are on this path, and I think it’s good. The club needs points, needs victories, and all of this must be backed by wins,” he added.
“Winning streaks are there to be broken, and I look forward to breaking the winning streak. I believe we will see a Sevilla with two forwards, everything has its timing. Sometimes, it seems as if we only have one pure striker, but we have five or six players in the box,” he concluded.
