SARABIA: "HE'S FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGED OUR OUTLOOK"

10/05/2018

The Madrid-born winger praised his teammates after their performance against Real Madrid and spoke of "fresh air" that Joaquín Caparrós had brought on his return to the team

Six points out of six since Joaquín Caparrós' arrival. Something has changed since the Utrerian retook the reigns at the Sánchez-Pizjuán, as the points have proved and even as players are reporting. Pablo Sarabia, following a visit to a Children's Hospital in Seville, was the latest to recognise the Caparrós effect: "I think we are reflecting the team that the coach wants... I think he's fundamentally changed the outlook of the whole team. The team was perhaps a bit disillusioned and I think that the boss has brought in fresh air, a winning mentality and that excitement that makes us believe".

On the win yesterday: "It was a huge joy for all Sevillistas. Having a bad time of it like we were, three points to rid us of that was fundamental". "I thought they did really well. I saw a block, all together, with intensity and bite - at the end of the day that's what we need. We can lose any match but if we fight like we did yesterday then we'll be closer to success".

"We come into the derby with momentum"

On seeing out the season: "we depend on ourselves that's why yesterday's win was so important. Now we have to make sure we win on Saturday".

Speaking about that very match, he said Caparrós "is going to try and get the most out of us but we know - above all those of us who were here last year - what it's like. Now we have to all work together and face it with intensity. We come in with momentum and the team has turned a situation that it had around which was not easy. We have to repeat that in the derby".
