Lopetegui against adversity

The Sevilla sumo two wins adjusted in the last week to obtain the passport in the Copa del Rey and consolidate on the heights of LaLiga. He suffered in Córdoba. Also against Villarreal in Nervión. But he pulled defensive reliability to keep his clean sheet in both games and relied on his punch until he found his prize. He did it with a handful of adversities on the table. Without nine headline, a En-Nesyri whose return is an unknown for all. Without Lamela and without SusoPerhaps the two pieces with the greatest imbalance in the one against one that are in the Sevilla squad. Without Jesus Navas, its inexhaustible captain. Lopetegui, for the moment, avoided setbacks at the gates of the first grand final of the course in Salzburg.

The irregular start of Champions forces now to all for the whole in Austria, land confined for several days. The three ties at the start and the fall to him Little they force a victory against Salzburg to go to the round of 16 of the maximum continental competition. And if the low they were not few, could join that of Acuña for Wednesday after retiring with discomfort from the match against Villarreal after being one of the most prominent. “It is very difficult for Acuña to arrive,” Lopetegui himself asserted after the 1-0 against the Castellón team.

The Salzburg has already caused numerous problems for the Nervionense team in the Sánchez-Pizjuán and also he gambles his options pass after losing to Lille the previous day. Will be an unexpected ending. A final in the middle of December that forces Lopetegui’s umpteenth reinvention to face adversity. Will trust in what has the best Ocampos, author of five goals in the last eight games. Also in that his defense is the most reliable value of his team.
