In the forthcoming Champions League matchup against Arsenal, Diego Alonso, the head coach of Sevilla, has laid down the gauntlet, calling on his players to exact revenge. Currently leading the Europa League, the Spanish team’s hopes of advancing to the Champions League are in jeopardy as they prepare for a crucial Group B match on Wednesday.
The Premier League leaders, who are presently leading the group, are currently ahead of Sevilla, who lost 2-1 to Arsenal two weeks ago. Resolved to make a statement in the North London rematch, Alonso feels his team could have done better in their previous encounter.
In an interview with reporters on Tuesday, Alonso said, “We competed well, with an unfair result for me because we did more for the game.”
Alonso maintains his regard for Arsenal’s caliber despite their recent domestic losses, which included a 1-0 loss to Newcastle. Arsenal is one of Europe’s best teams, and he understands that, along with their difficulties, come difficult football and strategic issues.
Strategically and tactically, the game is intricate. They proved that last season and again this one, and they are the fourth or fifth best team in Europe,” Alonso underlined. We have problems because of that, but we had problems with it two weeks ago as well.
Sergio Ramos, a former star of Real Madrid, is out with a calf injury, which makes things much more difficult for Sevilla. Diego Alonso is committed to leading Sevilla to victory and preserving their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League as the suspense for this pivotal encounter grows.
