Despite managing the Nervión club, who emerged victorious for much of the UEFA Super Cup, the Sevilla president showed no mercy and attacked him head-on.
During the break and much of the game in the finals UEFA Super CupSevilla FC were clearly the dominant player thanks to Youssef En-Nesyri. The Moroccan attacker was tasked with keeping the ball under the three sticks of a very focused Ederson. Indeed, without the Brazilian goal, history would have been different.
As most know, it was Manchester City that won the UEFA Super Cup for the first time, as well as the Champions League. But things only came to a head in the penalty shoot-out, with a little help from Nemanja Gudelj. However, Sevilla FC president Pepe Castro pointed out that En-Nesyri himself was the main culprit.
Pepe Castro attacks En-Nesyri after Sevilla FC’s UEFA Super Cup defeat
Essentially, the president singled out the African striker as one of the main culprits in the Seville side’s failure to clinch their second title of the season. The reason is simple: the striker had several clear chances, but gradually missed them. Had he tagged any of them, the outcome of this series would have been different.
Despite guiding his club to victory in the 25th minute, the former Leganés walks away labeled Responsible by the Sevillian President’s criteria. But some Nervionenses fans showed solidarity with En-Nesyri and the one they attacked was precisely Pepe Castro for branding the forward guilty.
One more reason for Sevilla FC to prepare for En-Nesyri’s departure
Aside from Sevilla FC feeling the pain of losing a major international title, after winning the game and practically taking control of it, Sevilla FC will also suffer some collateral damage. One of them will be the departure of several players, including the Moroccan Victor Orta wait for offers. This has a contract in the Andalusian branch until 2025 and its basic price is 20 kilos.
But the sports management has to start looking for a striker and at the same time scan the market for applicants for Youssef En-Nesyri. Let’s remember that the other attacking midfielder (Rafa Mir) is also in the starting XI and has clear intentions for Valencia CF. At the moment, José Luis Mendilibar is already thinking about next Monday 21 August’s game against Alavés, where he hopes to wash his face.
