Juan Ignacio Martinez has refused to claim that Real Valladolid’s match with Sevilla this weekend is a must win.

The Pucela host the Rojiblancos this evening languishing in the bottom three after picking up just six points from their first eight games.

But the Coach has insisted that there is still plenty of game left for this to not be a crucial encounter.

“This is not an emergency match for us,” he told a Press conference. “We still have a long way to go before the end of the season.

“To have achieved our goals at the end of the season though, we have to have been good at home – so that’s why we want to win.

“The opposition are going to be tough. Sevilla lost some important players in the summer, but they have reinforced well.

“We’ll have to pay special attention to their transition from defence to attack.”
