What They're Saying
Sevilla manager Unai Emery (via UEFA): "We are delighted with how we have started. The main quality I am trying to get into the side is their ability to compete. They are giving their best, pushing in the right direction and along with the daily work that we undertake, this enables us to deliver performances and obtain these kind of results."
"It's true that over a certain span of matches we would be leaders and that is a result of our hard work," he added when asked about his club's league form. "Something we have been able to maintain despite the close-season departures of key players like Ivan Rakitić [to FC Barcelona], Federico Fazio [Tottenham Hotspur FC] and Alberto Moreno [Liverpool FC]. Despite losing them, the essence of our day-to-day work and the identity of the club are the same; that is a source of great pride."
