"We made mistakes in the two boxes"

Sánchez Flores believes that the defeat is fair and that the team is lacking in goal

Espanyol started the second round with a defeat against Sevilla. The blue and white coach, Quique Sánchez Flores, has said that the final result is just though bulky and has regretted the mistakes made by his team. "They made the game that we wanted to do: quick attacks, made us do mistakes and went ahead on the scoreboard. That was the game we imagined, but we made mistakes, we did not attack fast, we entertained ourselves too much with the ball and we moved away from us. We had a good opportunity to get ahead and a couple to get back into the game, but we had no success".

In this sense he said that "going behind on the scoreboard against a team like Sevilla, which is of Champions, complicates the game. If you make mistakes, you pay and we make mistakes in both boxes. We are sorry that we can not make the leap that brings us closer to the positions of honour. The result is deserved for Sevilla, but exaggeratedly broad." Sánchez Flores has insisted that "we have to grant little, be attentive from beginning to end and be accurate. We lack goals this year and efficiency".

Regarding the match of Copa del Rey has said that "we have done an important part that is to get to the game with enthusiasm, but we do not know what can happen. It's fantastic to arrive with the illusion intact".
