Abel Segovia's press conference
Marbella manager Abel Segovia described this matchday as "vital" as it is a duel "against a team that is in the same situation as us."
During his appearance, the Seville coach emphasized the importance of coming out fired up for the match: "We have to go out from minute one with a knife between our teeth and make sure our fans see that we're playing for our lives and that we want to win."
This match takes on even more significance given the direct rivalry. "We have ten games left. This is the first one, and we have to win them no matter what," Segovia noted, emphasizing that "Alcoyano is a fairly strong team defensively, well-equipped, and with quality players."
In his insistence on the importance of coming out firing, he highlighted the team's improvement in Seville last week: "We were much more comfortable defensively, and the team took a step forward defensively."
However, there is one area where we need to improve: "We need to score more goals than we are giving up with the chances we create."
Once again, Abel Segovia praised the club's commitment to promoting La Dama de Noche with the five-euro ticket promotion: "The more people come to support us, the better. The fans' support is palpable, and we have to take the step to make them proud."
