Joaquín Caparrós spoke at the pre-match press conference ahead of facing UD Las Palmas. He began by saying, "It is the most important match for us because it is our next one. There are also fewer and fewer games remaining, and that is why it is so important. Both teams have a lot on the line and we have the opportunity to get the three points in front of our fans."
“It was a disappointment in Vigo, we were going to break the streak, but it was not possible despite the fact that the game was set up for us to win. The team is hurting emotionally in that respect. Nobody likes what happened afterwards, I am for non-violence," he added.
"Everything depends on us and let's see if we can do it tomorrow"
Caparrós also said, “We have to give them confidence. They are the ones who are going to play and we have to give them confidence and reassurance. Our fans will be there tomorrow and I am sure that they will be with the players."
"This is the most delicate moment, and the one where I’m suffering the most. I haven’t arrived as the game-changer people expected, and as a Sevilla fan, I suffer just like everyone else. It’s the worst social situation we’ve faced, we can't ask the fans for anything more because they’ve already given us everything. It’s all in our hands now, and we’ll see if we can get the job done tomorrow," he said.
"This is a time to stay united and let the players know they have the support of the coaching staff."
"In football, what matters are the results, and I understand the fans being disappointed with me in that regard. Kike Salas didn’t train today; we’ll see tomorrow. He’s worn out from playing so many matches, but we’ll have to wait. We also need to monitor Sow and Lokonga, we’ll evaluate them."
"I’ve spoken a lot with all the players. Time is key, and with every training session and match, you gather information to use with them later. This is a time to stay united and for them to know they have the coaching staff's support," he concluded.
