DAfter what was seen last night at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán, the Seville urgently needs the intervention of his coach, Julen lopetegui. At the level of results, in reality, the urgency is not such in the League, but in the Champions, which is where the demand rises, what in reality we also see from weekend to weekend in Spanish football is emerging: that the Seville is devolving at the tactical and competitive level
Is it Lopetegui’s responsibility? I honestly think not, but I do believe that the solution may be in it. Ever Banega’s march two summers ago impoverished the collective proposal. This was not so noticeable last season, partly because of Joan Jordán’s growth, partly because of En-Nesyri’s scoring explosion and in part also because of Sevilla’s safety net with Fernando, Koundé and Diego Carlos, who on top of that grew with the impulse of Bono.
Thats why he Sevilla even came to fight for LaLiga, but once these names, except those of Fernando and Bono, have ceased to touch on excellence, it has been noticed how Sevilla is a too predictable team in attack, which no longer dominates or controls so many things as when Banega was its conductor. This forces him to play more moved games than Julen would like.
We see it in the League and especially in Europe, where it is played at a different pace and at a different intensity, even in the best moments of Sevilla last night, the Sevilla was not playing the game that best suits him. And since they are more moved, more things happen, and those things are not favoring them for anything. Because, be that as it may, the Champions League disaster is due to a competitive issue
One of your most experienced players, Delaney, committed an absurd penalty yesterday, without any sense and changes the game, that to some extent is uncontrollable. But then you leave the dressing room without the necessary tension, they put you second and you start playing the game with your heart, not with your head, as Julen Lopetegui said at a press conference, and it should be controllable by an experienced team that has 3 years together
Although it sounds unpopular to say it, this is not a Seville to play with the heart, as much as he will always retain those outbursts of claw and fury, which characterize the pride of Nervión and Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán.
This must be a resource, not plan B. That is why I believe that Lopetegui must intervene. How? I wish I know. I would be on the bench collecting some good money, but the truth is that I trust Julen to tie his team short and give it the lost stability, which will help the players.
There are two Champions League games left. If he wins them, seeing how the group is doing, I would not rule out even that he was first, but for that they have to make life easier. On a tactical level, cause less things to happen in matches, on a technical level, stop taking penalties every time an opponent steps on the area, on a general level, play with the head and leave the heart for injury time.
