The Bianconeri are considered among the favourites for the tournament, but started out with a disappointing home stalemate.
“This was a difficult match due to the Sevilla pressing, though we played a different game in the second half,” the Coach told Mediaset Premium.
“We were unable to get the victory, it is more difficult in Europe and we are disappointed. We need to improve our performance and passing, but there’s everything to suggest we can.”
Paulo Dybala is yet to score this season, while Miralem Pjanic and Alex Sandro were surprisingly benched.
“Dybala plays the same position as last year, he’s just a little tired. In the second half we took control of the game and were just missing a goal.
“Kwadwo Asamoah gave us something more when defending. I introduced Marko Pjaca at the end because his pace could be more dangerous than the physicality of Mario Mandzukic.
“We are absolutely not let down by this result. We know that we’ve got every chance of progressing.”
