Garcia Pimienta: “I saw loyal fans because their team gave everything”

Garcia PimientaSevilla FC coach, spoke to the club’s official media after defeat to Villarreal: “It’s a shame because the team is generally good. We lost clear chances to a team that doesn’t forgive. We played a good game, controlled the chances, clear-cut moments, crossbars and disallowed goals.. So we have to fix the situation at the defensive level. The reality is that we played two games and they scored four goals against us, so it is difficult to win games. By correcting these mistakes, the team prepares itself to win and get the points needed to achieve the goal.“.

“It’s about results, nothing more. Today we were closer to victory than to victoryI saw loyal fans because their team gave everything they had. He ended the game applauding his players, like that. We need to improve in defense and attack, creating scoring chances, we need to be right in front of the goal.“We have to start adding the communication we want between the fans and the team. By fixing that defensive aspect, we will be closer to winning,” the Sevilla coach said of the unity he has created with his team.

“The team did everything well and is leaving with a defeat”

García Pimienta was disappointed after a match in which his team deserved more: “One thing is clear for us, the game lasts 99 minutes. We have to be ready for everything. In the first minute we were losing. The team continued to work well, we disallowed a goal and played a draw. The second half was very good from our side, we held off a powerful team like Villarreal.. There were enough chances to score and win. We have to be prepared for the fact that in the 95th minute we will have the ball and not score a goal. We want to win every game, but if we can’t, at least not lose. The team did well and is leaving with a defeat.“Tomorrow we need to think about a new training session on Tuesday.”

“We have presented enough positive arguments to achieve victory, and in no case to lose it.. You have to be right. They had three goals and two goals. It has nothing to do with the question of defense. You have to be focused, the team of the First Division has very high quality players, you just have to look at those who left Villarreal in the second half,” he continued. Finally, he assessed the condition of Quique Salas after the substitution: “It has a knock, it was air conditioned and we decided to change it.“We were fine. Marcao did very well at a time when it was difficult to get in. We hope he will be available tomorrow.”
