ANDl Seville he goes off to the hiatus with a bittersweet taste in his mouth. The joy of victory in the derby and a start to the season in the League as it is not remembered has been visibly clouded by what is happening in the Champions. Even so, the dressing room knows that the pass to the second round is still in their hands. “The setback we took during the week was very hard. The derby does not cure what happened in the Champions League “, acknowledged Joan Jordan on The Third Time of Movistar. The Catalan, who was a substitute in the duel against him Lille, returned to the team in the duel of Villamarin and it became the basic piece that it has been during its first two years in Nervión. 86 of 91 passes completed, nine of nine hit at length (especially towards the side of Montiel), 98 interventions … All in 76 minutes. Jordan unleashed.
Because when the beacon in the construction of a team is released, the team itself notices it and enjoys it. Jordán had not completed a match like this this season (he was also at a high level before Osasuna), where the competition has stolen some prominence, although he is still the Sevilla player with the most games in the last two years under the orders of Julen lopetegui. “I’m doing very well, very naturally. I have had competition in all the teams I’ve been to. When I arrived there were great players like Éver, Mudo, Óliver, Fernando, Gudelj … From the beginning the coach has given me confidence. Competition makes each other better. We are going to need everyone, “he explained.
And how much the number 8 needed a game of these characteristics, with the whole team well placed at the top and being able to always play forward, something that the coach insistently asks of them, but that they always cannot, especially if the separation between lines is great, since no pinpoint precision in a 40-meter pass. And all this in a game away from Sánchez-Pizjuán, with what it was costing the Nervión team. “It gives us an added confidence because we came from moments where we were having a hard time playing good games away from home and what better than to do it in the field of Betis, being superior. Away from home, it is true that it has cost us in the Champions League and in the League. Need to be ourselves again “, he remembered.
What is to come
Julen Lopetegui is now worried about what will happen to his forward. In the center you know that you have alternatives of all colors. Rakitic and Jordan They have proposed to sell the ownership dearly; Delaney He did not have his night in the Champions League, but he had offered a good level; Ferdinand it is indisputable; Oliver gives liveliness to the game, another register; Papu Gomez you have already returned from your injury; and Oscar is still missing from the team … The coach continues to manage his pieces and must press for that second row to add more goals in the face of the great absence of En-Nesyri. Starting with that final before him Wolfsburg after the break. “The margin of error is that the next game against Wolfsburg is a final. We are very excited. The team is going to give an important answer. I am convinced that it will go well and that we will win that final“, said Jordán. Sevilla is recovering its essence with those who know it best. His brain. His thermometer. His number 8.
