Akol Adams impressed with a brace against Schalke in Germany last weekend, a match that marked his return to form after several months out with injury.
He said: "Yes, I think the most important thing is to play more and stay in good physical condition. It has been a long time since I was injured. I am very happy to start and play for 45 minutes, especially the goal, which has greatly promoted my recovery and progress."
"It also boosted my confidence tremendously. No matter the opponent, I always thank God for giving me the chance to score, as this is exactly what I prayed for. My goals are not just for myself, but also for helping the team win. I'm very happy to have scored two goals, especially my first for Sevilla."
"I've been waiting for a long time and this is something that's really important for me. Like I said, it's something that keeps me improving and it's something that makes me know that I can play well at this level. So, I'm going to keep working hard and keep doing this."
"My training schedule for the first two weeks was very organized. After entering the third week, I started to increase the intensity of training. You can see that our entire team is training hard and committed to creating something special. I hope to be a part of the coach's hard work like my teammates. I think this season is full of things to look forward to, and we are all working very hard to prepare."
"My playing time depends on many factors, including the team doctor, the coach and myself. We will evaluate it based on the game situation this week. If everything goes well, I will decide whether to play 30, 40 or 70 minutes. It would be a big mistake to rush now. I am in good physical and mental condition and I am very happy. The team doctor is managing my recovery plan very well."
He also singled out Matías Almeida's coaching style: "He pays great attention to detail and will tell you everything you need to prepare for a match. He can understand the players' conditions with such precision, it's like reading a book. You have to treat him seriously because he's an extremely serious coach."
"He's very professional, and it's great to work with someone so dedicated and responsible. From the beginning, he told me to take it slow and see how things go on the pitch. So far, everything has gone smoothly, and it's very positive for me."
"It means a lot to me that the coach is actively involved in my development. He wants me to keep improving, which resonates with my own desire for growth. He has high expectations for us, and it's been a pleasure working with him so far."
