Denis Suárez will live his most special match on August 11th. The UEFA Super Cup that will pit Sevilla against Barcelona will be a special duel for the Galician, loaned to the Sevillan team by the Blaugrana. This is expressed in an interview with UEFA.com: "For us, it is a dream to be here and be part of a great final against Barcelona. It will be a special match for me because I played for Barcelona, where everyone thought I would settle. They will be the favorites, but I believe it will be a very competitive match and we will have the opportunity to win. I hope we can beat them."
Last year: "Against Madrid was my first match at a slightly higher level. I think Real Madrid was the best team in the world at that time and it was difficult. Personally, I was satisfied with the match, with my first match at a global elite level and above all fighting for a title that was not easy to be a part of, especially because only the two champions of Europe are there."
Keys: "It will be a difficult match, as Barcelona is undoubtedly the best team in the world right now. It is most likely that they will have possession of the ball, but we must also be careful when we have the ball because their counterattack is lethal. However, we already had opportunities in our last encounter in the league. We were losing 0-2 and managed to equalize by converting our chances. That match can be a good reference point."
References: "I have always said that I look up to Iniesta and David Silva, who are role models, and here at Sevilla, there are players that I really like and love playing with, such as Reyes and Banega. I get along very well with them."
Emery: "He is one of the best coaches overall. He really knows what is best for us. He considers each and every player and always puts those in the best possible form in his initial lineup. I have been playing with him for a year and I am very happy. He always talks to the player, both in good times, to prevent you from getting distracted, and in bad times, to help you. The way he treats the players is exceptional."
