JOAN JORDÁN: "THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST COMPETITIVE SEVILLA SIDES IN RECENT YEARS"

"The coaching is also important. It's a good group, we all get along well"

Joan Jordán was last night's guest on A Balón Parado. The midfielder spoke about the start of this season, and Sevilla FC's win in El Gran Derbi: "It's been 48 hours since the match and we're a bit calmer now. We're enjoying the win too, with the international break. It's much better spending the week like this after the win".

Jordán is sure the key to this season's start has been the togetherness of the side, which he didn't expect to see at "a big club. The people here are very good and help you out a lot. The coaching is also important. It's a good group, we all get along well. It's the key to our performances so far. If the squad was divided, we wouldn't be where we are." The midfielder also stressed that "if the squad doesn't get on well, they don't train well. If you don't train well, you don't get results, then there's an uneasy atmosphere. So far here, it's completely the opposite".

Another of the side's strengths is the competition for places: "I think there's real competition for places in every position, especially up front where the competition is brutal, there's a lot of talent and they work really hard. From what I've seen, this is one of the most competitive Sevilla sides in recent years".

Finally, the midfielder spoke about his move to Sevilla, which wasn't easy given that another side "was laying the foundations for a transfer. At the end of the day a call can change everything and it did. When they told me about Sevilla, I can't even describe the feeling that I felt, I was so excited".
