ANDl Seville Lives in the 1-0 like other teams when they score the fourth goal. It seems that he has relaxed, that he does not care to wear down with possession in his field and put chloroform in how many minutes are left. Even if a whole part remains. Got used to to live without undue stress or fear of risk on adjusted markers. You could say that his wave of injuries have forced him to adopt this position as conservative as practical. It is not about marking and defending yourself in your area. The reality is that Sevilla always look for the goal. And when he finds it, he lowers the risk level in passes to try to find the next one in a fleeting attack, but always defending with the ball, wearing down the rival. It attracts him to leave spaces behind his back and finish liquidating him.
The Getafe He did not want to leave him spaces to counterattack. The Cadiz, six days before, either. They did not want to pressure Sevilla high and, therefore, they did not have the slightest option of damaging a team with the reserve on but with the security of the best Primera body. Travel team Lopetegui without any dents, despite the continuous swings on the calendar and too many brakes in the form of injury. But, Isn’t Sevilla attacked because the rival doesn’t dare or because Sevilla itself won’t let you? More the second than the first. Even in defeat in the Bernabeu, for 70 minutes, the only real close-up of the Madrid ended in goal by a Bono error at a shot of 30 meters. Just that of Real Madrid in its stadium! What will Sevilla and its spider web not do with other adversaries with less offensive importance.
Outrageous numbers
Of the 20 days played, Sevilla’s defense has only been hit in nine, less than half. Only the Manchester City accumulate one more clean sheet (12) than the sevillistas throughout Europe. In addition, only the own Real Madrid (2-1) and the I raised (5-3 for Sevilla) they scored more than one goal against Sevilla, who have been with two goals against and both from corner kicks. In play there is no one to reach him. The key to the Nervionense team is their ease of retreating despite playing with many troops in the opposite field. The level of its centrals is very well known, surpassing by several bodies this course Diego Carlos to the star Koundé. The Brazilian has not lost a duel since childhood. And if to this is added that Fernando’s tactical intelligence to plug some waterway, the way to reach the domains of Dmitrovic or Bono are reduced to the extreme.
Also the competitiveness of its wings and constant help (especially with Ocampos) of the extremes in defense. A team that attacks as such and defends on the premise that nothing happens. And if you find yourself under siege, it also offers resources to ward off danger. He knew how to hold out a few dates ago with one less against Barcelona. He is a clear dominator of the passing game in his own area and also an expert in closing the second plays. One of its weak points is defensive set pieces, where he has received up to three goals as a local corner kick, all three from the same point. An issue to improve within a team that Compete outstanding and defend with enviable concentration and tactical rigor. Sevilla bases its fantastic walk in the league on its defensive block. How far can it go?
