  Narration and statistics
  

Sometimes, in football, nothing happens. It is unlikely. Almost a miracle. I no longer speak of goals, small leather utopas, but of a fragile danger, some, some outrageous fault, tiny fires in the stands … anything other than the emerald and endless film of the grass, or the soft and sterile magreo of the ball in the center of the field. The first time of Cluj-Sevilla at the Dr. Constantin Rdulescu Stadium was an existentialist gymnastics. Nothing. And then more nothing. A puadito of crneres cividly celebrated by the stands. An unintentional, casual, reluctant auction of De Jong that brushed the crossbar. And nothing else that deserves to occupy space on this paper, or on this screen, according to the reader's taste.

If Lopetegui had a plan, try to hide it. You can blame the stone, the lawn did not encourage magic, but more palpable that the baldness of the field was the lack of tension of the Sevilla. Officials and lnguids. No ideas up and unplugged back. The bump starts to look like a well. Cluj de Petrescu plays practical and ugly. It was enough to bother an absent, ghostly Seville. Europe was going to be the redemption of a fainted team, but the block showed the same shortcomings as in the League. Romo, apathetic and brittle.

Ciprian Deac was fluttering on the sides of the Nerves while Omrani and Traor struggled with the centrals. Balls to the pot and let the clock fall heavily on the visitor consciousness. Jordn, Fernando and Gudelj were, in the core, mere spectators of a circus died. Above, De Jong dropping balls for anyone. Like who picks orange blossom from orange to let it wilt on the ground. No reaction, no pulse, only sad horizontal movements. No art to move the gown and snatch up for joy if the game demands it. Just gray brushstrokes. Only the newcomer Suso brought a very fine and pleasant hope.

Kound Clumsiness

The second half began and nothing changed. The railroad team saw that Sevilla continued without appearing and took a step forward. The harassment had a prize. A side center, run the 59th minute, served for Kound to make a penalty; raising arms awkwardly, hitting the ball, calling misfortune. Do not fail Deac, that satin to the left of Vaclik. The Czech goalkeeper guessed the trajectory, but he missed flight.

It took Seville a century to shake off the sadness. Rony Lopes and En-Nesyri entered, replacing Ocampos and an unrecognizable Jess Navas. With them in the field the team recovered some spans of land. After a few minutes of shaking off laziness, the Andalusian team braided a play of value. Rony Lopes leaked a quality pass to De Jong, who controlled and gave En-Nesyri, who only had to push the ball to goal. And still Lopes had, in the extension, a distant shot that Arlauskis par with eye-catching. Quiz, the only good news of the night, the good minutes of Portuguese, indito in this zigzag season.

Seen the game, the tie is celebrated with sincere enthusiasm. The return in Ramn Snchez-Pizjun improve this match, because making it worse seems like an impossible, almost melancholic exercise.
