Pablo Machín spoke to the press this Saturday morning to evaluate Sevilla's first home league game of the season against Villarreal CF, though he also touched on the transfer market: "There are a lot of names that come out and the good thing is that they're all quality footballers with prestige. Mariano is a player who caught the attention playing for Real Madrid and in the youth system. The performances for the First Team, more for quality than quantity caught the attention of Olympique de Lyon, who made a financial effort and without a doubt got it right because he's given exceptional performances. He's the type of footballer that I think is up to the level of Sevilla. I hope that could be true".
In any case, Machín is very satisfied with the level of the squad: "All coaches say in private that they wish they'd bring in more players and that you can improve what you have - that's normal. My satisfaction is clear. Those who have come have a level to improve Sevilla's performances from last season. From now on, players would have to arrive to improve it more and contribute the best seeds to have a good season".
