Luis García Praza firmly believes that the team can remain competitive in matches, which is currently the most important goal.


Despite Sevilla suffering a series of setbacks in stoppage time, manager Luis García Praza remained proud of his players' performance. While the team ultimately conceded a draw against Levante, and there was some regret in the post-match review, he still chose to evaluate the team's performance from a positive perspective.  


He said, "This match can be interpreted from multiple perspectives. Before the score reached 0-2, our overall performance was clearly superior to our opponents. Unfortunately, we were only leading by two goals at that time, and we were actually fully capable of extending our lead. However, our opponents quickly scored a goal to make it 1-2, which became a crucial turning point in the entire match."  


“That goal greatly boosted the opponent’s morale and prompted them to adopt a more direct attacking strategy. Subsequently, there were several deflections and second attacks in the game, and the opponent eventually managed to equalize. After that, we took the lead again to 3-2. If we had been able to finish the game with a full 11-man lineup, we would not have lost this match.”  


"Due to being outnumbered, we were unable to maintain our high-intensity pressing in the attacking third, and there were quite a few deflected and bouncing balls during the game. I am proud of the players' performance because we clearly dominated the opponent for 60 minutes, and we must continue this performance."  


"Before the score became 0-2, our overall performance was clearly superior to our opponents. In fact, it could be said that our lead at that time was not enough to reflect our dominance on the field. However, the outcome of a football match ultimately depends on the performance of both sides in the penalty area. In the future, we may encounter similar situations where, even if our overall performance is not ideal, we can still seize opportunities to score goals and ultimately win the game."  


Speaking about the upcoming schedule, Luis García Praza admitted that the team will still face a series of tough challenges. He said, "In the next five games, we have to play four away games, and the games at the Bernabéu will undoubtedly be very difficult. We anticipated that the schedule at the beginning of the season would be quite challenging. The team has already earned 14 points, and we hope to bring back the desired result at the Bernabéu."  


"I believe the team can maintain sufficient competitiveness in the game, and that's what we need to do most. Of course, there are still many areas where we need to improve, and we must continue to progress. Since we created a lot of scoring opportunities away from home, we should improve our finishing ability, secure the victory as early as possible, and not give the opponent a chance to regain the rhythm of the game."
