Real Madrid and Barcelona they stormed the Sánchez-Pzjuán in League, where he Seville this course has shown its best face

ANDl Seville return to the competition tomorrow after the necessary national team stoppage for most of the members of its squad, although some have had to continue competing, even with three complete games. Julen lopetegui has been able to prepare with care the visit of one of the championship’s great rivals, the Atlético de Madrid, who will play each of the last ten days as a final for The league. That will try to transfer the Basque coach to his family as well, seeking that in no case a certain feeling of relaxation reaches the players’ legs, seeing the third and fifth (Sevilla is fourth) at such an important distance that it may seem that their position will be unchanged until the end of the course.

In addition, the visit of the team of Simeone it is seen in Nervión as a test of maturity. The Seville April starts after living in the last month the hard side of the elite, with its elimination in the Copa del Rey and in the Champions. Nobody thought – within the entity – that Sevilla were really going to fight for the league title. Because the direct duels have made it clear that he is not ready yet. For this reason, a good version before him Athletic, achieving a prestigious victory and also weight in the classification, would be an important accolade with a view to looking at greater goals, especially for the next course. Third place should be the next step, still possible this season. So much Real Madrid What Barcelona overcame too easily in the Sánchez-Pizjuán in the League, which has become a fort with the exception of the visit of the greats.

The Seville he did not play a bad game in the Wanda, in the other direct duel with him Athletic, but fell clearly, a product of that rocky rival and with a huge punch from the first round. Lopetegui changed his own plans to harm the opponent, playing Suso as false ‘9’. That night he was unsuccessful in the face of goal and lacked something more evil. The coach will try to prevent his team from falling into the same mistakes, as it did before Real Madrid or Barça in Nervión, and know how to take command of the game, not simply play at the mercy of what the rival proposes, altering their own plans. The points at stake are important, but not essential, which will leave the Andalusian team the possibility of showing more without being gripped by the table. An opportunity to claim a game model and continue to lay the foundations of that Seville present, with a hopeful look to the future.
