SUSO: "I THINK THAT, IF WE ARE ALL AVAILABLE, WE WILL BE BETTER AND IT WILL BE EASIER"

Suso stepped up to speak at the press conference to preview the semi-finals of the Europa League against Juventus. The Sevilla forward, who joined Mendilibar at the press conference, first highlighted how he feels good ahead of the clash having spent a few weeks on the sidelines: "I am feeling good, I have worked more than usual in these last two weeks because it is an important game after the year we have been through, we will wait and see what happens tomorrow. It's not the first time where I have been in the situation where I am trying to speed things up, I think that, if we have everyone back, we will be better and it will be easier. I have been doing well; obviously I can't play 90 minutes, but the important thing is to do my bit."     

With regard to the feelings of the group, he emphasised how the boys in the changing room are excited to enjoy themselves tomorrow: "The feelings are excitement and enjoyment after a season which did not start very well. Now we are seeing this ray of sunshine and it's a moment we ought to enjoy with the fans, who have been made to suffer this year." 

He was also asked about the fixture in Turin where he said "in the first leg we competed well, we played a good game and it was a shame to concede that goal in the last minute, but now we start again and we have to continue to play in a similar fashion... I have played several matches against Juventus and they have a coach with clear tactics and they are a side who are always competitive. We have to be switched on at all times, at home our fans always give us that extra push."

"Juventus also have experienced players, but tomorrow is like a prize that we are going all out for"

He returned to speak about how the team feels and the atmosphere that awaits for them: "The situation at the start of the year was worse than it is now. This is there we want to be, it's a time to be happy and excited and many of us are used to being in these scenarios. After what we saw against Manchester, if the stadium is like that again, it will be easier for us. Juventus also have experienced players, but tomorrow is like a prize that we are going all out for."

To finish, the man from Cádiz was asked about the derby that is coming up, but he responded by stating that the team's only focus is tomorrow: "We have a very important match tomorrow and we are not thinking about two games at once. Then what happens will happen. But the derby will be at the front of our minds on Friday."
