"Now is the time to add to our strength and for everyone to think about the crest. We are the club that bears the city's name, let that be clear . We are very important all over the world and with many people supporting us. We have to win again, to compete. We have to put on our raincoats, to be all one unit, which is Sevilla FC. When this is over, we'll talk about other things," said Caparros.

Joaquin gave everything when Sevilla called him."
