Óscar Rodríguez was unveiled as a Sevillista today. The man from Talavera de la Reina firstly stated that he is happy with his arrival at the club: "I'm joining with a great desire to contribute as much as I can. I am coming to learn, since I know that the club will give me a lot". In this sense, he assured us that he is coming to adapt quickly: "Above all I'm coming to offer myself to the manager and the team, and I'm coming to pick up minutes and adapt as soon as possible".

He also spoke about the competition which he feels will make him grow, without a doubt: "Lopetegui has welcomed me. I'm at a Champions League team and the competition will be very high, which will help us to be more competitive". He also spoke about what it means to be at a team in Europe's elite competition: "Playing for a Champions League team is what every footballer wants. I need to pick up minutes and enjoy it, above all else".

Óscar arrives after his first international call-up, which he spent with club captain Jesús Navas, who told him that Sevilla FC "is a very family-like club, very united. I think it is much easier that way when you come here". The man from Talavera sent a message to the fans, with whom he hopes to achieve great things: "I will tell the fans that I'm very eager to learn and I hope we do great things. I'm very keen to start and give my all". 

"Navas told me Sevilla FC is a very familiy-like club, it's easier that way"

The player also spoke about how he felt like another Sevillista during the UEFA Europa League Final, even though his move to Nervión was not yet complete: "I watched the matches my family being close to that option and I was very happy about the victory, like another fan". He then stated that Sevilla FC was always his best option, based on the club, and that he accepted the move without thinking about it: "I know they listened to various offers, but when the offer from Sevilla came up I told my agent it was the best option and I'm happy to be here". 

To finish, he was asked about Reguilón, another play he met on international duty, and said that he helped him when he arrived at the club in Nervión and in a city like Sevilla: "Reguilón told me that Sevilla was a very big club, he asked me what I was going to do and he helped me with the city and I'm very grateful to him for everything".
