ÁLVARO: "SAVING THE PENALTY GAVE THE BREATHING SPACE TO TAKE THE LEAD"

Álvaro Ferllo spoke after the win against Olot in the cup. The goalkeeper commented after the match that “we had to go through. We had seen that some First Division teams have been knocked out and the important thing was to go through with a good performance. I think we improved it a lot in the second half. It was a match that we totally dominated in the second half and we are in the next round. We have to analyse this match and think about Atlético de Madrid, who we have in three days. Although they are not from our league, we had seen penalties from their penalty-takers. It helped me to see his run and I could sense it. Saving that penalty gave us the breathing space we needed to take the lead. Today we looked pretty good. The other day at home was a shame because we deserved the three points and now we have to go to a difficult ground like Atlético de Madrid. It will be complicated, but we are aiming for the three points”.

Juanlu was also happy to score a goal: “I had been waiting for that goal for a long time, but the important thing was to get through the round and I'm very happy to help the team. At the beginning we were a bit slow, but we gradually loosened up and that helped us gain confidence. After the goal we were quite free. Both Ramón in the first round and Castrín today show that they are pushing hard. When they train with us they give their all and that's what Sevilla needs right now."
