Meeting Highlights…SEVILLA
There are different things. Logically we will try to put the most competitive team. It is going to be a rival that is going to make it difficult for us. He is clearly improving. He has gone 3 games without losing. It is a solid, difficult team. They are in an extraordinary situation due to the quality of their players and I expect a very tough game.
…QUIQUE SANCHEZ
I would like to beat him because last year we were not fortunate enough to do so. He has an extensive career. He has coached good teams, he has been able to win titles with important teams. He has reached a difficult situation at Sevilla FC, and we all know that at this moment everything is more complicated. I am convinced that his ability and that of his coaching staff will make it possible for them not to struggle at the end of the season.
…ABOUT MATCH
We know the quality of Sevilla FC. It is going to be a complex match in which we will have to be at a good level and maintain it throughout the match. He is capable of making mistakes in an action... he has that quality and 7/8 months ago he was playing in the Champions League, last year he won the Europa League. You have to respect it and it doesn't seem like a cheating match to me. We have to face it from knowing the difficulty it has.

Quique Flores
Manager on Sevilla…TEAM’S SUPPORT
They saw me grow and gave me the necessary support to develop as a coach and player. I'm super grateful. The time puts everyone in place. We left when we were in 'Champions' and three points behind the leader. Times have changed a lot and so has the team, but I have nothing to say, on the contrary. Very grateful for everything they gave us.
…BARAJA
As a coach we have already crossed paths and we have affection and respect for each other. When you go to a club where you have that responsibility of being at the same level as a player, you need courage like he has.
…VALENCIA
They are a great team to play against. Hope we will get the result that we want.
