Garcia: Anyone who judges Corberan after only four games does not understand football

At 3:00 a.m. Beijing time on September 12, Sevilla will host Valencia.

Sevilla head coach Luis Garcia attended the pre-match press conference and discussed the upcoming match.

Valencia have struggled this season.

"The league has only just started, and we must remember that. Some teams begin strongly but later suffer a decline, like Espanyol last season as a typical example, while some teams have the opposite trajectory, starting weakly and then making a strong comeback. I think Valencia are a strong team, a great club, and they always show great fighting spirit. Over the past four years, they have won at the Pizjuan twice and taken a point twice... We are Sevilla and they are Valencia, and either side can win here."

Rodri said Valencia were "too weak," "too poor," "terrible," and "unable to even get past halftime."

"I have no right to comment on Rodri's opinion, but I believe Valencia are a La Liga powerhouse and will be a very difficult opponent."

What advice would you give to Corberan?

"I have no right to give Corberan advice. A coach can only truly be judged at the moment he leaves. If someone labels Corberan based only on these four matches this season, it shows that person does not understand football. Of course, if a club has had long-standing problems, that is a different matter. But as I said, any team performing poorly has the chance to fight back, and any team on a great run must guard against becoming complacent. Coaches have to deal with all kinds of pressure, and I believe Corberan is working hard to turn things around."

What is the team's current situation?

"Compared with the situation we were in last year, when we were basically struggling to stay afloat, I definitely prefer our current situation. Last season we experienced very dramatic moments and ultimately secured survival, but that is already in the past. Now we must stay calm and try to continue this recent good form, but in any case, only four rounds of La Liga have been played and anything is still possible."

Will you play with two strikers?

"I may play with two strikers, or I may play with three forwards. Our midfield can support both tactical approaches. We currently have Agoume, Guridi, Fofana, Kochorashvili... We have enough options. I know the physical condition of some players and will take that into account during preparation. For example, if Stasin starts, he will almost certainly not complete the full match and I will substitute him during the game."

Will Marcon be included in the squad?

"Yes, because Sangante cannot play at the moment. I want to send my regards to Sangante, because he is a young player who gives everything, but he has been very unlucky recently. I hope that any red cards he receives in the future can be overturned to ordinary fouls. Marcon's physical condition is not yet enough to allow him to play, so Iker Munoz will be ahead of him in the selection order. Of course, Juan Iglesias will be ahead of Iker Munoz in the selection order."

What about Vargas?

"I look forward to working alongside him as soon as possible. Vargas is very important to me, and I will do everything I can to help him return to his best form."

Talk about the team's tactics.

"My goal is to build a strong and resilient team, and I believe I have been proving that from the first day. We have scored seven goals in four matches, which I think is a great statistic, although it would be better if we conceded fewer goals."

Talk about the goal that saw Espanyol score a late winner in the previous match.

"I have repeatedly thought about that goal. It was already the 98th minute and we had almost won, but then they scored a late winner. We first took advantage of a gap in their penalty area to take the lead, and then they took advantage of a gap in our penalty area to equalize and then win, so this can also help players understand how important defending well inside the penalty area is. Overall, I do not think our defensive performance in the previous match was poor, but in the end we were punished because the opponent found one gap."
