Sevilla manager Luis García Praza spoke to the media after the team's victory over Atlético Jotaleza, expressing satisfaction with the team's performance. He also specifically praised several young players making their first-team debuts and emphasized that the team's primary task in the Copa del Rey is to give their all and strive for victory. Regarding how far they can ultimately go in the competition, he believes the team needs to focus on the present and take things one step at a time.

Luis García Praza first affirmed the team's overall performance in the match, saying, "I am very satisfied with the players' performance. From the moment the opening whistle blew, everyone showed a positive attitude. The whole team was serious about the game, worked hard to implement the tactical arrangements made before the match, and showed plenty of fighting spirit and enthusiasm in the game. In my opinion, the final score does not fully reflect the team's actual performance on the field."

“Besides Forlán, several other academy players got playing time, and I’m pleased to see other players gain more experience and playing time through this match. Overall, it was a satisfying and positive night. Now, we must quickly refocus and put all our attention on the match against Getafe.”

The head coach then specifically praised the players who had received fewer playing opportunities recently, affirming their positive attitude in this match and their execution of the team's tactical plan. He said, "They maintained a strong desire to win throughout the game and tried their best to complete the match in the way we asked them to."

"This is a very serious and intense match, which will undoubtedly be a beneficial experience for the team. To participate in the Copa del Rey, we must set a clear goal: to remain competitive and strive for victory to the best of our ability. As for how far we can go in the competition, we will have to make a judgment as the competition progresses."

Speaking about the first-team debuts of several academy graduates, Luis García Praza emphasized the importance of the club's youth development program. He revealed that he had provided these young players with opportunities to showcase their abilities during the preseason, and they had consistently worked hard in training, hoping to earn recognition through their performances.

He said , " An important task for the club is to continuously discover and cultivate outstanding talents in the youth training system. I often communicate with Agustin and Diego. Today, three young players made their first-team debuts, and I believe they must be filled with joy and excitement. It is very important for young players to perform well on their first appearance, which is exactly what I emphasized to them during the preseason. Today, they have successfully achieved this goal."

Finally, the manager turned the conversation to the upcoming La Liga away game, where the team will travel to face Getafe. When discussing the Copa del Rey goals and future match schedule, he said, "We participate in the Copa del Rey, and naturally we hope to go as far as possible. Even if we have to leave this competition one day, we hope to do so after giving our all and demonstrating our competitiveness."  

"This victory further demonstrates the team's recent good form, but we cannot let our guard down and must maintain our level in the next match. Getafe desperately needs points, so we can expect it to be a challenging game."
