The Olympics upset Bryan Gil's preseason

Bryan Gil is one of the names present in the call announced by the Spanish national team for the next Tokyo Olympics. The sevillista, who had this call among his forecasts, will concentrate with the rest of the players from this Wednesday, thus absent from the start of the preseason of the sevillista team scheduled for next week. An expected setback but at the same time full of uncertainty: it represents one more challenge for the player's growth while stopping his search for a leading role in Julen Lopetegui's plan for the start of the campaign.

The path of Spain in those Games will clarify the player's return deadlines, but it seems almost certain that he will not be able to have a preseason with the Nervionenses and he will have to earn the confidence of the coach with the passage of training since the beginning of the League. His return is expected to coincide with the start of the championship and that will make it difficult for him to gain a place in Lopetegui's scheme given the high competition in his attack zone. The Basque coach, of course, made the Sevillista player's merit of the season on several occasions and wants him to bring more speed and overflow his three-quarter zone.

For Bryan Gil the challenge is enormous. After his last session at Eibar, he proved capable of establishing himself in Sevilla as an important avenue for Lopetegui. He knows that he has lost ground with respect to the figures of the nervous attack, but he also wants to take advantage of the appointment of the Games to take his best level and return ready to fight for a place in the eleven. With hardly any appearance from the quarry in recent years, Bryan Gil wants to break that border and be more than relevant in Sevilla next season.
