Sevilla coach Sanchez Flores admits 'pragmatic approach' for Atletico Madrid clash

Sevilla coach Quique Sanchez Flores is upbeat facing Atletico Madrid tomorrow.

Sevilla go into the game on the back of victory over Granada - Sanchez Flores' first in charge.

He said: “I have a lot of confidence in the ability of the footballers. They are the ones who have to change the gesture and the level of trust. It is going to happen, I cannot guarantee that it will be in a very short time, but we are going to face a very difficult game in a much better mood.

“I reviewed Sevilla's best games this season, with what system and with what players. I have put together what is most convenient now. When things are good, many things can be done. When things are difficult, get together, win games, concede few goals and be as pragmatic as possible. We want players who know how to play, but under the premise of having a minimum of security that gives us results.

“I am one of those who thinks that to attack well you have to defend well. Big teams that have crises always look to defence. When you don't defend well you don't attack well, it's a matter of comfort. A security system that allows you to attack well would be perfect, but I cannot guarantee that we will achieve it in two sessions."
