Sevilla and Shakhtar prepare for Europa semi

Thursday, May 05 2016 by SNTV
  • Sevilla train and look ahead on Wednesday (4th March) to the following day's Europa League semi-final second leg against Shakhtar Donetsk. Head coach Unai Emery believes that home advantage will play a key factor

    SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Unai Emery, Sevilla head coach

    (on how his team will approach the match):

    "The two sides deserve to be in the semi-final and we both now want to take the ultimate prize which is to get to the final, we know it will be difficult and so the confidence has to be right for us to work well during the game. We can't be over confident because we know that the 2-2 in the first leg could be decisive in the case of a draw but I don't think that will happen. I think the game will be very close, a continuation of what happened over there, they will want to play their game, we want to play ours and we have to try and stop them playing to their best level. I expect the best possible version of Shakhtar, they are a Champions League team, a big club, they won this cup in 2009 and the Super Cup, and they are used to winning titles every season in their league."

    SOUNDBITE: (Romanian) Miracea Lucescu, Shakhtar Donetsk head coach

    (on whether his team can create a surprise):

    "The surprise would be for Taison to play at his level, the level that corresponds with his skill. That would be the first positive surprise. To do everything he can. If we get the best Taison our team will follow and do everything that we can do. That's how we can win. Both teams will play with same players from the first leg. The only difference is that we now know each other better."
