ANDl Seville added his second tie consecutively at the Algarve stadium, after the harvest against the PSG last Tuesday, in front of the Rome. Same result although different sensations. A team from Seville on the loose in the first half, with high pressure and numerous arrivals, to get into the second by staying with more than twenty minutes ahead with one less for a double yellow seen by Gudelj, who starred in the disturbing news of the afternoon. A Seville that also goes learning to resist and to whom the absences are noticed. In defense it only has Jesús Navas of the presumed headlines. Lopetegui gets his team to compete with what it has, although he needs reinforcements as soon as possible. While, Koundé would stay in the stands again. Still not playing. It is on the market, obviously.
Sevilla used the same system as on PSG day, with three behind and Ocampos of carrilero, waiting to be incorporated Acuna of his vacations, in addition to a transfer that Lopetegui needs from abroad. The Andalusians dominated the first half, especially thanks to that forward pressure, sevillista hallmark. Better arrivals and more numerous than a Roma, which only approached through gross errors in the ball exit, starring a Nemanja Gudelj who, as a last man, discovers his positional deficiencies. Ocampos was the first to try his fortune. Óscar had a very clear when he was alone in front of the goalkeeper. He finished off first and with his left a shot from Navas. Up.
Not only did Sevilla attack. In Gudelj’s first mistake, Mkhitaryan stood hand in hand with Dmitrovic. His low shot from the front was cleared by the Serbian, who scored at a very high level. It would be the time of society Suso and En-Nesyri. With the right and with the left the Moroccan was able to score in two passes to the space of the Cadiz, very active and inspired. The forward, likewise, after a game against PSG with little prominence, but where he caused a penalty, began to sharpen his aim of each at the start of the league. Even so, the goal did not arrive. It was time to rest in the locker room.
Gudelj’s red
Mourinho he moved his bench faster than Lopetegui. He made seven changes before game time. The coach of Sevilla only one. Y Roma came to control the game. I would do it more insistently with the Gudelj’s expulsion, who saw two yellows in seven minutes. He rounded off his game and made his coach angry. For the fact itself and because for the preparation, keeping ten is never expected. More in a friendly. Julen spoke with the referee during the hydration break, asking for explanations. Your player will be asked for them at the hotel. Something happens to Gudelj in the mind. And the short circuit, at least for Sevilla, has come in preparation and not in an official match.
Lopetegui moved the bench to readjust the team with ten. Seville had to resist. Suddenly preparing a situation that may appear in the official competition. Roma arrived, without much clarity, although with insistence. Zaniolo stood alone in front of Dmitrovic and Oscar had to go to scrape the ball in Romanist feet. Defensive sacrifice of the playmaker. Sevilla resisted until the end. A stamp that he had before the Lopetegui era. Always compete in adverse situations, although the coach will think that it is better to avoid them. That is why you must look at your wardrobe and teach a lesson that should be more than learned.
