Paco Jémez was pleased with the way the team played today, saying "we were able to create problems for Sevilla, who are one of the best teams in the league and also in Europe". Regarding his team’s situation, Jémez said "we are still on track, this defeat will not harm us too much, we will continue in our fight to stay up" although the chance to pick up points today was very important, "I wanted to hang on to our chances today because the team haven’t been this close for a long time". Referring to Jonathan Viera, the manager had positive words to say, "he is a wonderful professional, and nobody can doubt his commitment to the club". After several matches making changes at half time, the trainer made it clear: "I am not disappointed with any of my players, as manager I will continue to reshuffle my pack until I find the formation I like best, and the position of wingers is really important". As for the possible injury to Peñalba, Jémez hopes it is not serious, and talked of his decision to play Etebo in a deeper role, "I liked the look of him and he is a player who can adapt to that position", he concluded in the press room at the Estadio Gran Canaria.
