Three months and a day laterAs if it were a conviction, the ball will roll again first. LaLiga returns and it does so with a menu consisting of a unique dish: the Seville derby (follow the match live on As.com) However, what is one of the events of the season in Spain, will be held vacuum packed and without more coloring than the red of the seats of a Sánchez Pizjuán in which there will not be the spectacular type with which the locals usually receive the teams,not a visiting green corner beating in the minority after the three points.
The uncertainty that has surrounded these months serves to illustrate the numerous doubts that surround both sets. Because nobody knows if Sevilla will look like the one that was confined after taking a meritorious tie in the Wanda or if Betis will maintain the level that allowed to win Real Madrid in its last official appearance. The only sure thing is that if someone has been seen minimally favored, are those of Lopetegui, since under normal conditions they would have faced the derby without midfielders defensive. Gudelj was sanctioned and Fernando, injured, and although the Serbian maintains his suspension, the Brazilian itself has recovered.
Both teams have played clueless. Ocampos, pichichi of the sevillistas, has all the alarms on for a few muscle problems. Five games have been lost in LaLiga and only one has been won by Lopetegui. At Betic side, meanwhile, doubts surround the physical state of William Carvalho, Edgar and above all, Joaquin, but the portuense has to be very bad to not do the impossible to play something tonight.
All of these conjectures are made assuming that Lopetegui and Rubi They are going to follow plans similar to those proposed before the confinement, something that nobody can assure. Be that as it may, LaLiga picks up the pulse with a Seville derby as peculiar as ever, but as passionate as ever.
The day that Fekir amazed behind closed doors with Lyon
Nabil Fekir you know what it's like to play a high-flying game behind closed doors. The French played a Champions League clash without an audience last campaign: went before him Shakhtar Donetsk with the Olympique de Lyon, after the Parc OL was closed to the public after a UEFA sanction. Your leadership was evident in that shockgiving assistance and being a nightmare for him rival in the 2-2 final. If Fekir was the leader in his Lyon, Rubi wants him to be now in Betis in a final leg of LaLiga key to achieve the distant dream of Europe. And all the spotlights go to the world champion.
