Xavier García Pimienta valued the party in the official media, and Sevilla’s victory marked the way for the Catalan coach, who was satisfied to see his team concentrated and without doing concessions to take the three points of Pucela thanks to a win. It’s a win that didn’t come easily, as García Pimienta noted, “We said in the previous one that it was a very demanding party. If we hadn’t taken it as seriously as we have, it would have been very difficult, if not impossible, to win here.” They were a team that was very practical, very solid defensively, granting very little with good game and very clear arrivals to goal, which ultimately led to their success.
The team’s effectiveness was a key factor in their win, as García Pimienta pointed out, “We have had the effectiveness that other days have not had.” This, combined with their concentration and solid defense, made it difficult for their opponents to win. García Pimienta also expressed his happiness for the victory, saying, “Happy for victory, the boys deserved it, but especially the fans. A thousand fans of Seville that have moved to Valladolid encouraging the team at all times and this victory goes for them.”
Juanlu’s Impact on the Team
When it comes to Juanlu, García Pimienta has high praise, saying, “We are in Sevilla and there are great players. It is true that their ideal position, so to speak, would be the end, the interior, the lane, the side… that’s where I think it yields better, but playing inside it gives us a lot of energy.” Juanlu’s performance was rewarded with two goals, which García Pimienta believes will reinforce his confidence. The player’s energy and commitment to the team are undeniable, and García Pimienta appreciates the effort he brings to the game.
Commitment and Teamwork
García Pimienta also touched on the commitment of his players, saying, “It is the greatness of this template. You have always heard me say that we never put excuses. Unfortunately, the injuries or sanctions of colleagues make others have opportunities.” He believes that this commitment is a key aspect of the team’s success and that players who don’t play as much still have a crucial role to fill. As he put it, “I have made a very complete game. I always say it, that there are players who do not play because I consider it other colleagues, because it is the best for the team.”
Looking Ahead to the Next Challenge
Now, the team is looking ahead to their next challenge: getting two victories in a row. García Pimienta sees this as a duty, saying, “It is a duty that we have. We have 24 days and we have 14. A team like Sevilla must mark the challenge of winning more than once two followed games.” The team will celebrate their victory, rest well, and then prepare for their next game against Mallorca, with the goal of breaking their bad streak and continuing to grow. As García Pimienta said, “We will celebrate the victory a lot, we will rest well, prepare the next game and see if we are able to achieve that victory at home against Mallorca.”
