Sevilla post Monchi took his first match

Post-Monchi Sevilla got the first anger from their fans in their league debut against a Valencia full of boys who highlighted the project of a club that became a reference in the Liga for nothing and that, after of a year to forget, Despite everything, they will contest a European final in four days against the mighty Manchester City of Pep Guardiola.

In a rivalry between two historic figures from the League looking to regain their identity after a somewhat lost phase, Rubén Baraja’s team gave the alarm to a team with a serious problem at the center of the back, with slow central defenders like Badé and Gattoni, who spoiled Mendilibar’s debut in his first startup project. The Frenchman ended up with a clear mistake on Hugo Duro and the Argentinian, one of the reinforcements in this market, had the worst possible performance, conceding the game for the defeat of his team’s goal when he was almost out of the game for six minutes.field after the red to his former teammate.

Mendilibar’s team, with many doubts to be resolved such as the future of Bono and En-Nesyri, especially the question of whether the Moroccan goalkeeper will go to Real Madrid in place of the injured Courtois, faced their fans with eleven none. of his summer signings and left many in doubt. They lost to a goal from Javi Guerra in the final stretch after En-Nesyri’s draw, which leveled Diakhaby’s 0-1 in an all-three-goal second-half contest.

And it will be difficult for Sevilla from the start to prevail against a Valencia that has a lot of youth in the field that is disturbed by the sparks that take advantage of the low rhythm of the local midfield, which consists of two footballers over 35 years old, Fernando and Rakitic.

Few came in the first half. Those of Sevilla, have no idea and modeled the center and secondary play of Mendilibar who tirelessly seeks resistance in the Valencian defense. Acuña tries a shot from outside and En-Nesyri has the best with a header in the hands of Mamardashvili, they are inferior to what Valencia offers, which is growing with the talent of players like Pepelu , Fran Pérez, Hugo Hard and Diego Lopez. This one had 0-1 with a nice heel that hit the base of the post.

But it was in the second half when Baraja’s side took a step forward against an increasingly threatening Sevilla. Bono saved his team before game time by stopping a shot from Hugo Duro with his feet. Sevilla’s defense is literally watering. This is the notice. Diakhaby, just after a pass from Almeida, made it 0-1 and ignited Sevilla against his team. However, he reacted thanks to Suso, the best of the locals, who put the golden ball on the head of En-Nesyri, who nevertheless scored with his shoulder.

This excited the fans, but it was all a mirage. Badé played the cousin in a throw-in and expelled himself and his substitute Gattoni, who sacrificed the Moroccan scorer, had the worst baptism in the Spanish league, by giving the ball against Hugo Duro who gave -way to 1-2 by Javi Guerra.

The rest for a good Valencia was done by Mamardashvili, huge before Suso’s last attempt.

A good start for a reliable Valencia full of youngsters and the first match for Sevilla after Monchi when they have to play for a title, the European Super Cup, against City.
