Sevilla coach Lopetegui: Espanyol tough test for season opener

Sevilla coach Julen Lopetegui has called for unity facing Espanyol on Sunday.

Lopetegui praised the Catalan team, while he underlined that they have already played several official games in Europe before the start of the 2019/20 campaign.

"It will be difficult, because Espanyol have already accumulated four official matches," Lopetegui told the press.

"We will have to have a very good match and have to play a great game at all levels.

"Espanyol have worked well, they are solid, and they have good players.

"We must be a team in every sense and show everyone a great version [of ourselves], because Espanyol are a very good team.

"It is clear what to do on the field and we will be required to demonstrate ambition and enthusiasm."
