Despite the clear 4-1 defeat against Borussia Dortmund a week ago, FC Sevilla is confident in the second Champions League duel with the Bundesliga soccer team.
“If we didn’t think positively, we wouldn’t be here. The team will improve,” said attacker Alejandro Gómez before the second game against the Bundesliga soccer club on Tuesday (9 p.m. / Amazon Prime Video) in the signal filled with over 80,000 viewers Iduna Park.
The 34-year-old Argentina international is counting on the positive impact of new coach Jorge Sampaoli. “A change of coach changes a lot. With the new team of coaches we want to get out of this situation,” said the professional.
The 62-year-old Sampaoli has succeeded Julen Lopetegui in the six-time UEFA Cup/Europa League winners after the defeat against BVB. After the team’s fall to 18th place in the domestic league, the Argentinean is asking for patience: “The first step is to play the game on an equal footing against each team. The team has to get back to the many good games in the remember the past. We must find ourselves again.”
After three games so far, Seville is in third place in Group G with just one point and would be out of the running for a place in the round of 16 if they lost again against second-placed BVB (6 points).
