MONTELLA: “THE TEAM SHOWED CHARACTER AND RECOVERED WELL IN A TOUGH MATCH”

Sevilla FC coach, Vincenzo Montella, spoke to the press following his side's two goal comeback against Villarreal this Saturday. He admitted to being "a little annoyed, because we had key moments during the match to score. But I am equally pleased with how the team have shown character and heart, recovering in a tough match. Now we need to think about Tuesday. We were playing up high in the final third, we pressured well, the team was growing...but during key moments we weren't lucky and it's not the first time".

Asked about the refereeing, the coach commented "things can be gotten wrong, but when it's clear, it's clear - I spoke about the penalty with Banega, he was close to the play. And then only three minutes extra time...".

Montella wanted to highlight the attitude of his side, footballers that "played with drive and determination, with heart, with the mental strength of a great team. We're going to look ahead and keep fighting".
