Julen Lopetegui spoke to official media after the win in El Gran Derbi. The Sevilla FC manager wanted to dedicate tonight's win to the fans, who could not attend: "It's a shame that our fans could not enjoy it here, but the win is dedicated to all of them. Of course, we felt their support and spirit, we spoke about it before starting".

In a more detailed analysis of the game, the manager wanted to highlight the superiority of his side in Nervión: "We were the better side and deserved the win, but of course they have individuals who have the ability to do things. We scored twice and had chances to score more. The reverse fixture was more balanced but we were superior in this match". 

"We have to recover well because against Levante UD it will be different"

Lopetegui also mentioned the willingness of the side to adapt to the circumstances caused by the return to action: "We spoke about how we had only three windows to work on 11-a-side football, but the team took advantage of it well with a lot of spirit and a good mentality".

To finish, the manager says there is time to enjoy it, but he is also thinking ahead to Monday's clash against Levante UD: "It's always good to win matches to recover, you live better with a win, but we have to recover well because it will be a different match against Levante at a different ground".
