Mendilibar already knows the hangover Monday

warning Jose Luis Mendilibar about falling euphoria and he wasn’t wrong. Thinking too much about Europe when everything is unfinished tends to attract spoilers. Sevilla, the best team in the Liga in April, started May with the first defeat with Zaldibar’s team in charge. Black baptism for the Basque, who had five wins and two draws in his first seven games, five of them in the League, the remaining two against Manchester United.

Sevilla have not lost since the end of March, in Coliseum Alfonso Getafe Perez where he found the wall (figurative) Jorge Sampaoli. But mourning must be passed on. Mendilibar ordered changes to the eleven and the situation took its toll against a good Girona. papu gomez He was a starter for the first time since November, before leaving for the World Cup, Jesús Navas did not appear on the stage, he played all week, and without his crosses, En-Nesyri was wet with gunpowder .

With two weeks full of games and a Fair in between, Sevilla choked on the game and gave all the ground they had advanced to San Mamés. Mendilibar was already aware of Monday’s hangover, as it was on the first day after the Fair before the change last weekend. The Fair ended on Saturday, but the hangover lasted a day in Sevilla.

Mendilibar already said, you can’t do math. When Sevillism thought about reaching a European place and even hunting Betis considering that there was a derby pending in Nervión, Míchel’s Girona arrived and took the toast from the plate.

And all this in the second semi-full in Nervión. The club announced a few hours before the game that it had sold out all the seats, just like on the magical night of the victory against Manchester United, but in the end those members who were still hungover from the Fair were not and their seats were not taken out.

Mendilibar is now trying to clear the heads of his people again, pass the conflict as soon as possible and continue his head so that doubts do not return to the entry.
