PAPU: "NOT WINNING IS A BURDEN ON OUR SHOULDERS, BUT THE RESULTS WILL COME"

Papu Gómez believes that results "will come" for Sevilla and commented on the team's new style of play.

The Argentine spoke alongside Jorge Sampaoli at the official UEFA pre-match press conference on the eve of the away match against Borussia Dortmund.

To begin, he focused on the changes over the past five days.

"The atmosphere is a bit better after the last match. We wanted to win but we needed to avoid defeat. With the new coaching staff the excitement is back and we're all motivated and keen to get out of this situation."

"This is a completely different style of football, that doesn't mean that it's better or worse. It's down to us to adopt it as quickly as possible because there's no time to train as we're playing every three days. We have to try to put it into practice on the pitch."

"We're playing in a different competition, we'll try to get out of this negative spell in each competition and we'll try to do our best."

"If we didn't think positively we wouldn't be here and we'll try to make each game different so we can begin to get positive results. If that happens, we'll get out of this spell."

For the Argentine, a win is a weight off the team's shoulders.

"The fact we're not winning is a burden on our shoulders, it leads you to play without confidence and be negative on the pitch, you play with fear. We played well last match, there's things to correct but maybe that'll take time and we have to be patient. However, the results will come, we'll play better and we'll start winning."

To finish, he was asked about his comments in Argentina as the World Cup approaches.

"There's nothing to clarify. I'm a professional, I've got a lot of games under my belt and I've been playing for nearly 20 years. There's not a lot to clarify about my commitment to football and my club. Everyone can interpret the statements I made as they wish. I'm a football person and anyone in football can understand perfectly what I said."
