Sevilla coach Sanchez Flores pleased with players for Copa win at Getafe

Sevilla coach Quique Sanchez Flores was left delighted with their 3-1 win at Copa del Rey opponents Getafe.

Sergio Ramos and youngster Isaac Romero (2) struck for the visitors.

Sanchez Flores said: "It was a game of a different order, being closer against a team that plays the second play very well, that searches for the opposite field very easily, which takes advantage of the theft that we would have had in our own field.

"We had to avoid the rival's strengths, we have been very serious about that.

"We have been right in front of the goal at specific moments and that has left us with a better game.

"The game is what it was. A team that presses a lot, they are very uncomfortable games. We knew it would be very difficult and we have adapted to this type of dirty games, second plays, a lot of friction, a lot of side balls, etc., etc.

"We have adapted very well to a moment in which we are seeking collective organisation because we lack precisely that. I'm not worried about having little possession because possession is really not a problem for this team, but we had been having a lot of possession, little result and little achievement.

"We try to change the terms and find a balance."
