Rayo Vallecano vs Sevilla preview - Michel wary of trip into `unknown`

Sevilla coach Michel takes his side to the Spanish capital on Sunday warning them they are squaring up to a dangerous Rayo Vallecano side.

The Franjirrojos have won both of their Primera Division games so far following a mid-table finish last time out, and are naturally high in confidence as a result.

Sevilla are also unbeaten this season with four points to their name, and their manager is aware of what lies ahead.

"They are very unknown but they are a very dangerous team," Michel said.

"They are never going to give you an easy chance to win a game."

Michel heads into the game at the Campo de Futbol de Vallecas buoyed by the commitment of his players to the club.

He revealed that some of them had turned down moves away in order to try and cement a place in his starting line-up.

He has a 24-man squad at his disposal and said: "It's okay. This Thursday we received two offers for two of our players and both chose to stay at Sevilla to fight for a spot.

"I loved that, what better motivation for them?"

Vallecano have already moved to bolster their squad in a bid to cement the positive start they have made.

Former Barcelona defender Rodri completed a move from Spartak Moscow on a two-year deal and is in line to make his debut for the club.

Sevilla drew with Granada last week, while Rayo Vallecano were 2-1 winners at Real Betis.
