Unai Emery, coach of Sevilla, assessed in his personal blog the first days of preseason, including the stage in La Manga, and how exciting it is for the nervionense team: "We have been working for two weeks, including a 10-day stage in La Manga, and within our planning we have reached the necessary rest to assimilate all the good work done so far and regain energy for the sessions at the Sports City before traveling to Germany."
"The concentration has been very positive. We have had a heavy physical load, but we have also worked on technical and tactical aspects so that the players, especially the new ones, internalize what the team demands from them. Our goal is to achieve a good assembly from which the players can showcase their individual qualities. These concentrations are very good for them to adapt, get to know our ways of working, and for us to get to know them... Building a TEAM with capital letters... Gradually, we are getting closer to what we want and we are also introducing small competitive elements in the tasks and in the little games, an aspect that has already appeared progressively in the two friendlies and that will increase in the next matches against more demanding opponents."
"In that sense, our first major goal takes us to Georgia where we will possibly face the most demanding team in the world today. It will be a challenge, but let's not forget that if we are in that Super Cup final, it's because we have earned it. EXCITEMENT".
"Eyes set on Tbilisi, and then there will be Málaga, the debut in the Champions League, and the Cup... But let's focus on the journey because living it intensely is what has brought us to this situation. ENJOY it and COMPETE, and make the SEVILLISMO enjoy it. The team understood it perfectly last season and it's what we want to instill in them this year, knowing that from Wednesday almost all the new signings will be available."
