Sevilla will fight to death against Bayern Munich, says coach
Seville (Spain), April 2 (IANS) Sevilla FC’s head coach Vincenzo Montella on Monday vowed that his team would fight to the death in their upcoming Champions League quarter-final clash against Bayern Munich.
The Italian coach addressed a press conference on the eve of the home first leg against the Bavarian giants, in which the Andalusian team looks to make history by reaching the semi-finals for the first time, reports Efe.
“We will fight to the death, no doubt about it,” Montella told the press.
“We always work with the intention of improving and that the team can improve day by day, game by game, regardless of whether our rival plays to a higher level,” he added.
He said Bayern was used to dominating matches and scoring goals, but highlighted that Sevilla had the ability to disrupt that style of play, as was evident in the weekend’s clash with Barcelona, which ended in a 2-2 only because of a last-minute comeback from the Catalan club with the help of its star Lionel Messi.
The second-leg of the Bayern fixture is to take place on Apr. 11, just three days before Sevilla play in the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona.
The first-leg kicks off on Tuesday.

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
