Sevilla coach Matias Almeida said in the pre-match press conference against Girona that the team is working on improving in many aspects, including reducing mistakes, in-depth research on opponents, optimizing players' condition, and hoping to achieve a complete rebound.  

Matias Almeida said in an interview: "I have communicated with Cesar and we are all very clear about his career experience and technical characteristics. He can play a role in many aspects, whether in the middle or on the wing, he can play different roles.  

"Once everything is finalised, he will be a great addition to the team. He is a leader with many qualities, a keen eye for the game and a fantastic team player. The more people understand this, the smoother the process will be."  

"There are many positive signs within the team right now. Some players have taken the initiative to reduce their salaries, which not only helps the club's operations but also benefits their teammates. These players put football above money, which is an important cornerstone of building a team. Ultimately, we will wait and see which team can truly dominate the league."  

"If you look at my face after a loss, you'll see more wrinkles and more sadness because I'm hungry for victory. I still hold on to the belief that brought me here, but I also understand that not all problems can be solved immediately. We are going through a gradual process, and I have taken over some legacy issues, but the team is moving in the right direction."  

"Pre-season preparations have generally gone smoothly. Although the results of two games were not satisfactory, this has not shaken my confidence in the team's future development. I have always been true to myself and have experienced both joy and pain in everything I do."  

"Whether attacking or defending, we always focus on a certain area of the field. Against Getafe, the opponent was well prepared defensively. Although we managed to break through the defense and create opportunities, we ultimately failed to convert them into goals. If mistakes are made and the problems are brought to the middle, the impact will be magnified. Both teams have their merits, and I don't want to be too critical of the mistakes of the young players."  

"Overall, we're looking for a balance. Some of the problems from last year still exist, and there's no fixed tactical system, because nothing is absolute. I think I'll make some adjustments, but not too many. We have to get rid of the idea that everything is wrong, because negativity breeds more negativity, and positivity breeds positivity."
