Sevilla coach Alonso: I think Benitez and I respected eachother

Sevilla coach Diego Alonso says there'll be no underestimating Celta Vigo this weekend.

Alonso will be facing his former Valencia coach Rafa Benitez.

And he said, "When do you not need to win? The pressure is the same because we put it on ourselves, we always want to win. We were able to win against Real Madrid and Cádiz, now we have to do well again and definitely keep the three points that we deserved before but we couldn't get.

“I had the opportunity to work with him (Benitez) in Valencia, although I didn't play.

"I spent several preseasons with him, he is a great coach, at a methodological level one of the best I have seen. He understood his decisions, I think we respected each other."
