Sevilla coach Manolo Jimenez has insisted that the good of the team is more important than any individual after striker Luis Fabiano was reportedly unhappy at being substituted in the UEFA Champions League in over Stuttgart.
With Los Nervionenses leading 1-0 at the break in the Mercedes-Benz Arena, Jimenez opted to replace the Brazilian with midfielder Aldo Duscher in an effort to stifle the Germans midfield dominance. The Andalusian side went on to win on a 3-1 scoreline but Fabiano was reportedly angered that he was the one to make way for Duscher.
"The common good is beyond the good of any player," Jimenez told a press conference.
"I do not act with a whip and I do not think I am always right, but I think the common good is above the right of any player."
Jimenez insisted that the matter has been resolved and added that he was glad to see the striker wound up as it showed his appetite for the game.
"He understood, the next day, that the change was necessary to improve the team, although it could have been any player that was changed. The truth is that I love to see him get angry for wanting to play, it shows the ambition he has and I like that," added the coach.
