Jose Antonio Reyes spoke to the official media of Sevilla and referred to the renewal of Monchi as the sports director of the club:

"I've always had something special with Monchi. I get along very well with him. He was here today at the sports city and I congratulated him in person. I am very happy for him and all the Sevilla fans are happy too. He has been fundamental in everything that Sevilla has achieved."

The utrerano insisted on Monchi's discourse about the existence of a team above any individual figure: "We have always said that the success lies there. More than a team, we are a family. I hope we continue in that direction because for us, for the team and for the Sevilla fans, it is the most important thing."

Reyes analyzed Sevilla's preseason: "We have a very strong intensity. We have had few training sessions so far to be at 100%. We already know the coach, we know the intensity he likes, what he wants in training and in matches, and that is the mentality that the players must have. It is true that those of us who have been with him for a longer time already know what he wants, but this rhythm is good for the newcomers to get to know it from the beginning. On the eleventh day, if we continue like this, we will be ready for the Supercup."

He looked at the squad and the new players: "I see their improvement. Everything takes time, you can't do everything in one day. But the team is gradually coming together more, it is true that we have a good squad and good players. They have trained very little, it is too early to draw conclusions. It is true that from what I have seen, Konoplyanka seems to have a lot of quality and hopefully he will help us a lot."

One of the challenges that generates more excitement is the Champions League: "We have to enjoy it. We have a lot of excitement for this competition, but as much as for the others, not only for the Champions League. For us, all competitions are important."

Finally, he made references to the fans: "We already know that the Sevilla fans always respond to everything. People keep renewing because they want to keep seeing their team, so we can only thank them for everything they do."
