He Seville remains with a single point from Mestalla, after a draw at the last minute by the Valencealthough with several positive readings, according to Matías Almeyda. And the Argentinian, once the accident passed and despite no … add three, they remained “feelings more good than anything else“, as he declared during a press conference. »We played an intelligent game, in which we knew that the rival had his virtues and we knew how to block him until the last action. We had quite a few titles. We knew where to find the loose ball. We had one or two counter-attacks in the first half, which we had planned to generate. After, I stay with the attitude of the players, with the dedication and intelligence to interpret another system that we have not used until today. And with this desire. I also like the opponent, in a spectacular stadium where it is always difficult to play. I think that’s where we missed those little points at the end. »
However, when assessing whether this tie was fair, the Argentine reaffirmed that “I never talk about justice.” We should see how everyone considers the figures to see what is fair and what is not.. And what is fair to one may be unfair to another. “
Delivered but fragile
Sevilla’s defensive fragility once again deprived the Nervionenses of adding three. However, Almeyda emphasized that “we fixed a lot of things compared to other games. We come back from the Cup, where we won and where there was little rest for all the teams. We had to change the system because there are people outside. So we knew we had to become strong somewhere and we started from the back to the front. The team was organized, so two days ago, during a press conference, I said that we had lost order. The team recovered quickly, which was not the case in other matches. There are many things that we corrected, that we had done differently and that were not correct; Today we did well, but that doesn’t change what we think from here to the future. Obviously, We wanted to win the match, but the point serves. We must add“.
Likewise, the Sevilla coach highlighted his team’s dedication in a demanding match. “This is what will lead you to earn more points“, he said, recalling that “we are coming from a defeat where we lost a derby and it is very painful”. This point will help us. We have drawn very few matches so far in the tournament. Surely, if we had had more draws we would have had more points. But here it is not about merit, but about precision and putting facts into practice. Mentally we are doing very well because I see union, I see dedication, I see desire and I see that we are not happy because we are linked. We couldn’t win it when it was almost won, but we have to keep going because it’s a long shot.”
On the other hand, when asked whether Valencia and Sevilla are direct rivals in the lower zone, the Argentine stressed that “there is a lot of team”. We will be part of this fight, but not just the two of usbut all of us who are with the same number of points.”
Finally, he did not want to evaluate the refereeing of Guillermo Cuadra Fernández or an action in which Valencia demanded a penalty: “I don’t speak. I haven’t seen it either. I prefer not to talk about this man“, said Almeyda bluntly, who was also brief when commenting on his conversation with the referee before the second half. »I asked him about yellow, but he couldn’t answer. So I stood there and didn’t speak. May they one day speak“, he concluded.
