ALEIX VIDAL: 'THIS COMPETITION EXCITES US A LOT AND WE WANT TO FIGHT UNTIL THE VERY END'

Aleix Vidal accompanied Pablo Machín in today's press conference prior to the the UEFA Europa League match against Akhisarspor: 'In recent years it's been a very good competition for us. It really excites us and we want to fight until the very end. They may be a lower team than us, but if you don't respect your opponent anything can happen.'

Regarding how he feels and whether he is capable of giving more, Sevilla's wing-back responded, 'it's clear that I'm not at the same level as I was in my first spell here. With more minutes I'll pick up a good rhythm and confidence and I hope I can reach the level I know I can give and what people expect me to give. I try to train well so I can play, the boss has the final word. I can help the team out in any position, what any player wants is to play.'
