García Plaza: "I believe we are building something"

García Plaza says Sevilla are in a construction phase ahead of Sunday's visit to Getafe, targeting 20 points from the first half of the season.

Sevilla travel to Getafe on Sunday with manager Luis García Plaza expressing optimism about the club's progress. The Andalusian side currently sits comfortably in the table with 17 points and has built momentum with a solid win over Osasuna.

García Plaza believes the team is in a crucial building phase and hopes to reach 20 points by the end of the first half of the season. "The score is good for now. The team has to show the level it's showing, to go for the matches, to believe in themselves," he said. "I believe we are in that construction phase and maybe in 10 matches we'll see if we're in the top group or not. But I think we have clear how we need to be."

The manager warned that Getafe will be a difficult opponent despite their poor away record. Getafe are unbeaten at home with two wins and three draws, though they have zero points and zero goals scored in away matches. García Plaza also praised former Getafe manager José Bordalás, calling him "the best coach in Getafe's history."
