The Argentine footprint was recorded in the triumph of Seville against Valencia. Montiel, Ocampos, Papu Gómez and Lamela appeared in Julen Lopetegui's starting eleven and all four reflected a good version that helped the team to be more consistent and more intense on the pitch compared to previous duels. The winless streak gave way to a victory that elevates the team's feelings and gives more credit to a manager who hopes to repeat the successes of the recent past at Nervión. The brilliance of the Argentines had a lot to do with the reaction and boosts confidence that the squad can deliver a better version of what has been seen so far.
Papu was the first to appear on the scene. He did it with an uncheck into space and a goal at the first touch that makes a reality clear: he is more incisive and dangerous when Lopetegui places him between his three means, located inside and with freedom to move towards the attack in addition to creating from behind with the ball. His role was far from that of other stakes, when he hit the attack zone on the left flank and intervened very little in the game of his team. The assistant was again Lamela, who was also in many attacking plays of his team looking for his teammates from the ends and showing that he is one of the fittest men in Sevilla. He won a place in the eleven of Lopetegui and does not intend to release it in the next matches.

The staging of Montiel as headline was also positive. He had barely played a few insignificant minutes since he arrived and this time Lopetegui placed him in the right lane to give Jesus Navas a rest. The choice was not unwise. It was intense and was firm defensively despite the danger that Valencia had in their ranks. The fourth Argentine guest was Ocampos, who finally returned to the starting position to pick up more rhythm of the game after being out due to injury for several weeks due to an injury full of mystery. The winger is a nightmare for all rivals despite the fact that he is not yet in his best physical moment: he unbalances, he dares and is an endorsement in defensive work. Lopetegui has reason to believe.
