Las numerous absences at Sevilla due to injury, leaving Julen lopetegui at times with hardly any changes on the first team bench, they have made it possible for players with less prominence or those who were expected to step forward to have taken it permanently. The personality and football displayed by Papu Gómez in the last month, Sevilla throwing himself on his little back and showing that even the brightest stars offer their best sparkles when the games get more difficult. The Argentine, who in a month will meet his first twelve months in NerviónHe seems to have finally found his place in the coach’s scheme. It doesn’t even matter if it starts from the band. Exerts of Suso from the other side (four midfielders). The engine of the attack with a commendable defensive commitment.
Because on the 24th he had not had to sacrifice so much in his previous destinations. Skip the crazy game of the Atalanta to the order of Lopetegui it is not easy. The defensive commitmentBoth in the withdrawal and in the advanced pressure require great efforts. Papu seems to have completed its adaptation process to this new requirement and is now the undisputed starter in the Andalusian team, also helped by the issue of absences at the ends, which have left the coach with few options to choose from. With all this, the Argentine is comfortable. Too has played on the inside, like in Bilbao or against Villarreal. In San Mamés it was the team’s beacon. Lopetegui thanked him with a hug in the dressing room. They are already understanding.
If above it already begins to be decisive when it approaches the area, the better for the Seville. Before him Barcelona made his second goal of the course. In this stretch of matches, starting in the Bernabeu, has been a starter (last five). Even in the defeat against the leader, he showed what the Basque coach asks of him. That helps maintain possession when he touches and breaks in when he finds that option. That way is finding the Seville to hurt opponents, helped on the left wing by a Delaney which helps in the triangles near the band. Much more is still expected from Papu Gomez at Sevilla. His signing was supported by his stellar moments at Atalanta. It was hard to watch him a complete game and he begins to chain one after another. Collective effort and individual quality. The famous dance is now more than justified.
