MADRID, 10 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) -

Sevilla's Argentine midfielder Alejandro Gómez confessed that "the atmosphere is a little better" after last Saturday's draw against Athletic Club and was optimistic that "positive results" will come because now "not winning is a backpack that weighs and it leads you to play without confidence and with fear".

"Without a doubt, the atmosphere is a little better after the last game. Obviously, we wanted to win, but we needed not to lose and with the new coaching staff, hopes are renewed, people are motivated and want to get out of this situation," he said. Gómez this Monday at a press conference.

The Argentine stressed that the new coach's idea "is completely different" from that of Julen Lopetegui. "It's not that an idea is better or worse. It's up to us to try to capture it as quickly as possible, taking into account that we don't have much time to train because it's played every three days. We'll try to do it quickly to get the results," he said. .

On whether the bad league situation could influence a Champions League where the classification is different, the midfielder pointed out that "they are all different experiences and different competitions". "We are trying to get out of a negative moment in each of them. We have to try to give our best and if we didn't think positive we wouldn't be here, we have to look for positive results because if that happens we will get out of this moment," he stressed.

"The fact of not winning is a heavy backpack and leads you to play without confidence, to be in a negative way on the field and to play with fear. I think that in the last game we were good, with many things to correct, maybe It takes time and we'll have to be patient, but I think the positive results will come. The team will play better and will start to win," said 'Papu' Gómez.

Finally, the Argentine assured that "there is nothing to clarify" about his "commitment to football and Sevilla", after some statements in his country in which he pointed out that it would be difficult to focus on the club with the World Cup in Qatar so close . "I am a professional, I have played many games. Anyone can interpret the statements, but any soccer person understands very clearly what I said," he settled.
