Sevilla departs for the World Cup break in relegation trouble, on-loan Sevilla player Telles had an interesting take. The defeat to Real Sociedad, combined with Celta’s draw, dropped them to third from bottom in the table. Alex Telles has been optimistic about the team’s future. “We must correct the problem, we know how passionate the fans are. And how long the club has been around. We are disappointed because we run a lot and do a lot of things but do not see any effects, we get up for it. And if we don’t get what we desire, we are disappointed. We were playing really well with two fewer players, pressuring… With eleven, we must get better and better, have that mentality, and we will be completely different in the second half of the tournament,” he said.
The United loanee insists that he did not consider it when he was offered the chance to join Sevilla. “I watch Spanish football, and Sevilla is always at the top, winning championships and playing in major tournaments. Liver and Tecatito both visited Sevilla and talked highly of the club to me. When the opportunity presented itself, I told myself not to open any more doors. They have a lovely tale, it’s a lovely place, and I’m really happy here. He informed the club’s official media during the programme.”
On-loan Sevilla player Telles: I’ll start thinking about the World Cup on Monday. Now I’m at Sevilla
Despite saying farewell to LaLiga in Nervión this year, “I’ve come here to play and win, and I’m having fun but not winning as much as I would have liked,” Telles said. “It’s a terrible time, but we must persevere and work harder because in football, things can change rapidly, and our success is dependent on it.”
The Brazilian defender will be participating in his first World Cup. “Anyone who knows me knows that I consider everything at the appropriate moment. I’ll start thinking about the World Cup on Monday, when I’ll be travelling. Now I’m at work with my coworkers. Sevilla brought me here and bet on me, and he deserves everyone’s appreciation. I’m not surprised by my behaviour; it’s my job, and I have to do it that way,” he concluded.
