Diego Alonso closed his first week at Sevilla

Diego Alonso, Sevilla’s new coach, led his third session this Thursday as head of his new team, where he completed the first week of work. The replacement of the removed Jose Luis Mendilibar He was presented to the media on Wednesday after arriving a day earlier from Madrid, where he has lived for several years.

The Uruguayan coach led the last session of the week, as he respected the three-day break planned by his predecessor, taking advantage of the league break for international matches. Diego Alonso, despite the fact that logic says that he will need as many sessions as possible to get to know his new players and implement his idea as soon as possible, he gave his players rest on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Many of them, logically, plan to travel to their places of origin taking advantage of the fact that they have no competition.

Lots of intensity and motivation

Diego Alonso stood out in the first sessions for being so good with his players at work. It requires maximum intensity and not to encourage every task so that professionals do not fall into relaxation. The former Atlético or Valencia player stands out for his great capacity for motivation, one of his strengths according to those who know his methods from his time in Mexico and Uruguay.

The Uruguayan has yet to get nine of his footballers under his command, those named by his national teams. Among them, Jesús Navas and Nyland now play with Spain and Norway (they are also in the same group and face each other this weekend). The rest are Gudelj, Lukebakio, En-Nesyri, Sow, Acuña, Ocampos and the sub 21 Juanlu.

The team will return to work on Monday, a week in which the Uruguayan coach must prepare for his debut in Spain and Europe, at least on Saturday against the leader of Real Madrid (Sánchez Pizjuán, 6:30 pm).
