Sevilla coach Lopetegui calm amid sack talk: They're doubting Klopp now

Sevilla coach Julen Lopetegui insists he faces Espanyol calmly.

Defeat this weekend could see Lopetegui sacked.

But he said today: "In football I have been a coach for 20 years and as many as a player. I have experienced things in all colors. This is the fourth year and we have also experienced all kinds of situations. We work to relive them beautifully.

"I only think about what I can contribute to be able to have a good game tomorrow. Noise is noise. Another thing is what you have to do at all times. You have to put temperance, measure and perspective into things.

"From the current situation, we must try to capture calm, temperance and confidence and that is what I try to instill in the players.

"We are talking about (Jurgen) Klopp now, about Barcelona last year... there are examples you want. As far as me and my team are concerned, we look from the inside and we are aware of the team's capacity in the medium term."
