He has also spoken about his role within the team, since being one of the captains, he is considered one of the leaders of the locker room. «We are a young team and that means that, at my age, you position yourself in a place. I have been in the First Division for 12 or 13 years and I can give that experience to my teammates.who are very young. We try to make the fans and the team one, if we have to whistle, let them be the oldest ones. The other day he met Isaac, the crowd pressed and gave an assist. Isaac, despite not scoring, always gives you something and the fans give it back to him and has that spark to give you something in the game,” explained the man from Elche.

Furthermore, he has insisted on sending a message of unity to Sevilla fans: «The best thing for Sevilla is that we are all united, knowing how we are. We were not comfortable against Rayothey were one minute less and we were suffering. Obviously, when the environment is unstable and the players are inexperienced, they do worse. We older people try to help them cope better. I think that when the stadium and the team are one, the rivals have a very bad time.”

Questioned by the objective of Sevilla FCSaúl has appealed to Cholo Simeone’s philosophy: «I have been talking about game by game for 14 years, the team can lose focus and lose opportunities. You have to see the day to day, a construction project that is based on people like Carmona, who have renewed it. “Having the hope of doing something great, but being aware that we are under construction.”

Finally, the Sevilla player praised his next rival, Osasuna: «They are a great rival, who are in a very good dynamic. They have no fear and a lot of self-confidence, without fear. The most important thing is to focus on ourselves and I think the team is doing well. “We have to manage to arrive fresh and eager in front of our people.”
