Sevilla coach Sanchez Flores in new Hannibal dig; welcomes Spurs striker Veliz

Sevilla coach Quique Sanchez Flores has had another dig at Manchester United midfielder Hannibal Mejbri.

The January loan signing hasn't featured in the last two games with Sanchez Flores citing attitude problems.

Yesterday, the Sevilla coach expanded on what was needed from Hannibal to be considered for selection.

He said, "I am explaining to you the situation that this team has, which is similar to the team where he comes from. A team with disorder, with bad results, where sacrifice is above talented virtues.

"Only with talent we have been defending a place in this division for two years. We need desire, order, ambition, desire to compete, and I try to transmit that to Hannibal. Sacrifice is probably not his best virtue, but we will find it..."

Sanchez Flores also discussed the loan signing of Tottenham striker Alejo Veliz.

He said: "He has a lot of desire. He is Argentine, he has character, a lot of desire. Youth that comes to add, to a different reality than the one they have in their clubs. They come to a big team in a difficult situation and the sooner they understand it, the better."
