Sevilla FC coach Julen Lopetegui spoke at midday on Wednesday in the press conference ahead of the game that the white and reds will play tomorrow at the Ciutat de Valencia against Levante UD. It will be the thirty-third La Liga matchday. "They are playing well as well as getting good results. They are on a good run and when it seemed that they were doomed, they now have the opportunity to stay up and they are very dangerous. We are interested in and our aim is the three points and we have to prepare for this tomorrow." 

"We have problems in some positions. Martial is definitely out. He had a muscular injury when he was in good form and seeing what we wanted from him, he hasn't been able to get much continuity. The rest we are waiting to see how they are tomorrow to make final decisions on. I could write 10 books on what has happened this year. We have to leave the feelings of the players and yours as a coach behind. It has been a complicated and difficult year but it is what it is and it forces us to give our best" he continued talking about the possible Sevilla FC absentees for tomorrow evening. 

"The situation tomorrow demands character against a very powerful opponent at this time" 

The Sevilla coach insisted that "to achieve our final aims we have to be capable of playing under pressure. For everyone, these are finals, including ourselves and we have to know how to compete in these circumstances. We have to fight with all our forces. All teams are playing finals and are will kill for their aims. We are also in this and we want to achieve something fantastic. We are hopeful. The situation tomorrow demands character against a very powerful opponent at this time" 

Finally, Lopetegui was questioned about En-Nesyri: "The mental aspect is very important. There is no magic recipe. The opportunity comes and you have to have to take it. There is no other option. I hope that he plays well in this final part of the season for him and for the team. I hope it will be this way."
