Youssef En Nesyri totally changed his role in Julen Lopetegui's Sevilla in just a few months. After inviting doubts in the European Super Cup against Bayern Munich after missing a clear chance against Neuer, he took the reins of the Nervionian attack and now has 12 goals. The ghosts were buried. His hat trick against Real Sociedad boosts his scoring figures to eight goals in the league while Julen Lopetegui gives him more stripes in his attack in full competition with Luuk De Jong.
The reborn En Nesyri becomes the maximum threat from Sevilla ahead of Tuesday against Atlético de Madrid. His high level in recent weeks also finds growing complicity with his attack partners. Suso and Ocampos brilliantly associate with the Moroccan, who finds his best habitat in the backlash. Much of the growth of this Seville in recent weeks is sustained by its better management of spaces and there it reigns En Nesyri, become the nine that Lopetegui missed so much in much of last season.
