Sevilla and Alavés agreed to an improvised friendly (20:30, SFC TV) due to the postponement of their weekend matches and a proper name focuses the spotlight in the run-up to the stake: Joselu will be at Pizjuán after being one of the great wishes of the Nervionense team this summer to reinforce his lead. He finally stayed in Vitoria to be one of the mainstays of Javi Calleja's team in this campaign.
The Joselu case upset the summer of both teams just a few weeks ago. Monchi admitted the interest and also that everything fell apart before the high claims of the Alava team. Lopetegui wanted him in their ranks, but the one who finally arrived was Rafa Mir. Today, on the grass, perhaps both measure their moment as from opposite areas. Lopetegui will do tests with a view to the Champions League and Calleja will try to minimize his anger at this extravagant league calendar that he improvises weekly.

The friendly between Seville and Alavés will have two periods of 60 minutes so that the break does not resemble an eternity for both. Lopetegui wants to intensify the pace and Calleja to try more resources. Many sights will be directed to some of the signings that reached both teams and that still had a few minutes. While waiting for some internationals, in Nervión they want to confirm Lamela's good feelings and verify that life did not change for other banners such as Jordán or Suso, less incisive in the first days of the League.
