Isaac Romero’s meteoric rise from anonymity to stardom is still unfolding. The Sevilla striker is basking in the adoration of fans, who can’t get enough of him. As a result, he’s faced with the challenge of living up to his new status, accompanied by the pressure of leading a team that will undergo significant changes following the departure of En-Nesyri, who is considered a certainty. Despite struggling with muscular issues in his adaptation to the first division, Romero has made a remarkable recovery and is putting in the hard work to ensure he arrives at preseason training in the best possible condition.
Before heading off on vacation, Romero signed a contract extension until 2028, a priority for both the player and the club. With the new coach and the team’s playing style yet to be finalized, Romero must adapt to new responsibilities. Under the previous coach, Quique Sánchez Flores, Romero flourished, benefiting from a tactical approach that allowed him to use his explosive speed and power to devastating effect. His goalscoring form soon followed.
As the new coach sets the team’s strategy, he’s expected to demand greater collaboration from Romero. The striker will need to make intelligent runs, creating opportunities for others while also finding the back of the net himself. While Romero may not fit the traditional mold of a center-forward, his ability to win duels against defenders is a valuable asset. This new role will require him to be selfless, playing for the team’s greater good. With Sevilla reliant on him for goals, the pressure is palpable. As the season approaches, Romero is putting in extra effort to ensure he’s ready for the demands of the elite.
