In an interview with The Guardian, Sevilla forward Anthony Martial spoke about leaving Manchester United to join the La Liga outfit.
“I had a lot of options but I talked to the manager [Julen Lopetegui] and with Monchi and I said Sevilla was the best option to play and enjoy football again because I lost it a little bit in Manchester. I wasn’t playing and I knew that if I went to Sevilla, I would have the occasion to play and enjoy myself. I feel very good at Sevilla. The city’s very good and we are a good team, so for me, it’s perfect. I’m playing so I am happy.”
Spain versus England
“In Spain, all the teams try to play: they’re very technical, they try to have the possession. In England it’s a little bit different: it’s faster, it’s more physical. It is good to play in both. I just try to adapt and enjoy myself. They want me to play like I play. Sevilla put a lot of intensity into the pressing without the ball. That’s what Lopetegui asks me to do. He’s a good manager, you can see it on the touchline; he really lives the game and that gives you energy.”
