Emery: Europa League also important

Speaking before Sevilla’s Europa League clash with Standard Liege, Unai Emery said the Europa League is just as important as La Liga.

The Sevilla boss was responding to questions from assembled reporters on the changes in personnel he would be making for the game at the Maurice Dufresne stadium.

“This is a competition that has brought a lot of joy to Sevilla so therefore this game is a priority, but all the competitions we enter are equally important.

“There will be some players selected who did not play on Sunday and this will be a key game for them because they have not had much playing time. As a result, they need to take a step forward.”

Emery stressed Los Rojiblancos would not be underestimating the Belgians.

“I have a lot of respect for them because of their history, the people who support them, and also because they have good players,” he explained.
