Sevilla Coach Unai Emery warned they need “respect for Fiorentina” to avoid wasting a 3-0 first leg lead in the Europa League semi-final.
The trophy holders dominated last week on home turf and play at the Stadio Artemio Franchi tomorrow evening.
“I don’t want to talk about the Final in Warsaw, as we must focus on the present. It’ll be a long night,” said Emery in his Press conference.
Sevilla Coach Unai Emery warned they need “respect for Fiorentina” to avoid wasting a 3-0 first leg lead in the Europa League semi-final.
The trophy holders dominated last week on home turf and play at the Stadio Artemio Franchi tomorrow evening.
“I don’t want to talk about the Final in Warsaw, as we must focus on the present. It’ll be a long night,” said Emery in his Press conference.
“The first leg result is very positive and we are all confident, but we mustn’t get ahead of ourselves. It is imperative we never lose concentration.
“I respect all our opponents, especially if they are playing on home turf. We must maintain our character and make the most of any spaces Fiorentina leave us.
“Don’t forget both Sevilla and Fiorentina have eliminated prestigious sides on the way here. We don’t want to throw away the advantage from the first leg.
“I heard someone say some fans have already booked their flights to Warsaw, but I cannot guarantee we’ll be there. I can only say we’ll give our all to reach the Final.”
Emery confirmed Beto has recovered and is likely to start in goal rather than Sergio Rico.
Vincenzo Montella said Fiorentina have only a 10 per cent chance of qualifying, so what does the Sevilla boss think?
“I will only say there’s another 50 per cent of the tie to play. The Viola beat Tottenham 2-0, Dinamo Moscow well and Roma 3-0.
“We must prove once again that we are better than Fiorentina and deserve to be in the Final.”
Emery has been repeatedly linked with the job at Milan next season.
“I am at Sevilla, I love Sevilla, we are playing an important semi-final and in this instance I only want to talk about Fiorentina.”
