The Seville has turned the page after the tough defeat he suffered this Wednesday against the Chelsea, a 0-4 in the Sánchez Pizjuán that it was a real surprise in a team that if for something had been characterized since Julen lopetegui is his coach because of his competitive nature, a warrior and combative spirit that is in the DNA of this club that has managed to experience spectacular growth in recent years.
The realization that the second unit is not up to the starting eleven is the first thing that jumped into view on a frosty and sad night in Nerve, where neither was the fans to support the team Lopetegui. The other aspect that was crystal clear is that the Gipuzkoan coach has given priority to Real's visit Madrid this saturday at Sánchez Pizjuán to be first of the group in a Champions in which the whites already had the classification for eighth in their pocket. Beating Chelsea did not guarantee having the best cross, since there is still a day left in which Sevilla must visit the Rennes in France and the workforce is severely depleted by casualties and by the accumulation of efforts forced by the very busy calendar that has led to the Covid-19.
With Ocampos Y De Jong headgear, without left back and with Jesús Navas repeating and repeating matches, Lopetegui it all came together. Two players dropped by Covid (Bono and Carlos Fernández), Escudero, Acuña and Suso injured, unable to use the third goalkeeper or Aleix Vidal or Gnagnon in the Champions League, Vaclik's injury in the warm-up precipitated the debut of the subsidiary's goalkeeper , Alfonso, who ate the brown and suffered the goalscoring voracity of Giroud.
Players who debuted as starters, Idrissi, others that hardly count as Franco Vazquez, Sergi Gomez or Oscar Rodriguez… They gave rise to a start of the game in which the Chelsea players looked like airplanes. A win like this was not in the script by any means, but everything is already forgotten and you do not think of anything other than the Real Madrid.
It was not the result we expected, but the really important thing is that we arrived with our homework done. There are many parties and in December we have seven left ”, said José Castro, the president of the entity. We must put in value what the team is doing, with the Europa League title and qualified for the round of 16 after four days. We have had three wins in a row in The league and that has to take us to the right place. On Saturday (against Real Madrid) a very important game, all the clubs this year have their problems due to many circumstances and I am sure that we will face again to get the points ”.
