In a Sánchez Pizjuán infuriated, the same sevillistas who on Wednesday were outraged with their team in the Cup when it was not able to beat the very modest Andratx Balearic Islands, a team from the Second RFEF in a matchbox surrounded by 2,000 spectators, were hoarse from shouting Ocampos’s goal against Atlético. Seville is a city of extremes. There is no middle ground. From debacle to glory, from pads to both ears and back to the ring.
Julen Lopetegui he keeps on trying to get into the heart of a hobby that doesn’t really know what to expect. There are days when the team cannot connect at all with the stands and others, such as this Saturday against the League champion, the caste and the courage appear to make the Sevillismo vibrate. Defying rivals and an impressive streak of injuries, Sevilla is determined to be aspiring to the League, which is not in line with the hardships they experienced against Andratx, who were only able to eliminate them in the penalty shoot-out.
With one less game in the League, the one that must play this Tuesday against Barcelona and which was postponed in its day due to the late return of the South American internationals, Sevilla does not rule out anything, although its role is clear: enjoy and continue, enjoy and follow.
Already last season Lopetegui’s men reached the end of the league with options for the title, some put the label on them and now it happens again, although there is still a lot of the championship ahead. For now, the Andalusians are going to finish the year as second classified and as the only option to Real Madrid, with the possibility of even getting closer on Tuesday after the game against Barça, a not inconsiderable possibility as one is and as another is talking about fitness. Anyone would say it just four days ago after going through almost a fluke in the second round cup before an unknown team made up of amateur players who almost had to ask permission in their jobs to play against those of Lopetegui.
