…JESUS NAVAS

He is making a great effort to reach the Euro Cup, it would be a huge challenge for him, and we are all fighting in that boat. Just as there are challenges that lead us to Lukebakio going with Belgium, Acuña and Ocampos to the Copa América... as a group they are important things.

…ABOUT THE MATCH

We must show initiative and momentum from the beginning, not the dynamic we saw in Villarreal. We lost there in '97, but we could have lost at any time, we were not competitive. At this point, we can't go back. I expect the best from the team in an event like tomorrow. We have worked a lot in this second round, to catch up with teams that have been ahead of us throughout the year.

…SERGIO RAMOS

His season has been totally essential for us. They have been glue for the team, but they have also been an example of work and effort for everyone. I have not spoken with Sergio about his future, it is a topic that he does not touch on right now.

…PREPARATION

The truth is that it has been a short time, but I think it has been enough to recover and prepare for the game, not at the optimal physical level, but mentally in the best way. I believe that energy will not be lacking because we are playing the most important game of the year. We are going against all the statistics, since we have not won away. We risk everything and we go with all the enthusiasm in the world.

…ROTATIONS

Luckily we don't have any new casualties and the boys have recovered well. In principle, everyone's the same, the same team and we are going with all our strength to compete there.

…SEVILLA

They are a dangerous team at all levels because they have organised themselves very well. It is a team capable of reaching the opposing goal with great weapons. With Quique they have found a lot of solidity and we need to give much more than them to get a good result.

…LACK OF EFFECTIVENESS

What we want is that in the opportunities we generate we can have a higher degree of effectiveness. This is what has happened to us in many games and I hope we can have that success. The boys are very confident and very excited. So nothing, just compete, give everything and put your soul into this game.
