Rival glad to get Wenger backingSevilla boss Juande Ramos says he is ‘proud’ to be praised by Champions League rival and Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger.
He said: "I am proud because it was said by a coach who does not give praise easily, but in Europe there are many great teams.
"The fact that they respect us is positive, but on the other hand, we cannot think that we will not have to try too hard to qualify for the next phase.
"Every game in Europe is difficult. If the supposed easy game in the group is against a side that has beaten Ajax then what will the difficult games be like?"
Sevilla have been drawn in the same group as Arsenal, Slavia Prague and Steaua Bucharest.
