Although Sevilla has currently managed to get into its best position in the Europa League, they still cannot play the full match in La Liga. Maybe the opponents they face in La Liga are tougher than those in the Europa League, so that Sevilla has succeeded in achieving its best order. In the upcoming match in La Liga, they will face Celta Vigo, and this match must be put to good use in order to get additional points and be able to enter the top ten at the top of the standings.
Today José Luis Mendilibar will make his first appearance with Sevilla, it's a really important home match to start his career with Sevilla. José Luis Mendilibar realized that Celta was not a weak team, he even knew that Celta had never been the same as Cadiz, who had previously lose by Sevilla.
I read some opinions about the match against Celta from José Luis Mendilibar, this will support more assumptions about this match. For him Celta are a difficult team so Sevilla can't let them get lot of space at the back. Defense may be of utmost concern, while regarding results he will try his best.
MENDILIBAR: "WE ARE POSITIVE, BUT WE HAVE TO KEEP PLAYING WELL LONG-TERM"On Celta, there was a message he came back to frequently: "It will be a very difficult match because they don't play like Cádiz at all, neither better nor worse. Sometimes they want possession and at other times they don't so they can counter. If you leave space for them, they take advantage of it, they are compact defensively but also look to score. We can't switch off because they try to create space between the defensive lines and we can't let them do this."
