“This is not about deserts; it’s about goals and each team scores one”. The phrase of Julen Lopetegui at the end of the match Seville he is new Valladolidwhere the Andalusians dropped two points due to their lack of success against the goal, explains the current situation of one of the most serious contenders to enter the Champions League.
A single point out of a possible six against theoretically inferior rivals such as Osasuna and Valladolid was a situation that caused nerves among Sevilla fans, who dedicated the first row of the season to their team after completing the tie, which could be the first defeat at home if Asenjo’s error had not intervened in an attempt to block the ball and a defender Karim Rekik took advantage.
In a long week to make changes to the squad, Monchi must work on integrating a striker after four signings, two central defenders, Marcao and Nianzou, a left back, Alex Telles, and a midfielder who shows that he still is. missing to reach his best physical shape, Isco.
With En-Nesyri and Rafa Mir as ‘nine’ for Lopetegui, none of them seem to offer guarantees. The Murcian, last season’s top scorer, has room for improvement and generally good numbers, but he replaces successes with very noticeable mistakes. He scored in Pamplona in a good move to catch up, but against Valladolid he crashed the ball into Asenjo’s body in the best chance of the game. The feeling is that he is a young striker who can be burdened with the responsibility of being the fixed ‘nine’ of a project like Sevilla.
Sevilla dedicated a whistle to Rafa Mir on Friday
Moroccan is worth studying. He was stuck on the ball, couldn’t control a pass from ten meters and struggled to finish plays. Sevilla dedicated a resounding whistle to him on Friday when he tried to stop a ball and was kicked off his feet. But this is a situation that is not new and comes from the old. En-Nesyri is far from the striker with Sevilla rejecting a 35 million offer from the Premier League (West Ham). This was after his best season, 20-21, which ended with 24 goals, 18 of them in the League and 6 in the Champions League. The latter was a disaster for one from Fez. Between injuries, Covid, the African Cup and resounding failure, he finished the year with three goals.
