Erik Lamela stood out in his breakthrough with Sevilla after signing three goals in the first two days and giving a boost to Julen Lopetegui’s bet. He did it from the same substitution that he starred in in the third match of the League against Elche. He could not mark the differences in three quarters there, but his candidacy for the Basque coach’s starting eleven seems a reality. The Argentine exhibited his virtues with verticality and punch and now he intends to gain a privileged place in the Sevilla coach’s plan.
Not only the goals are an incentive for Lamela in his drive to be important in Nervión. Demonstrated good understanding With his teammates and his hypothetical maximum competitor, Suso, he did not show his best level of play so far. The Cadiz started the last two appointments of his team without his magic appearing to the same extent as it did last season. The arrival of duels every three days starting next week opens the way for a rotation that can boost a hopeful Lamela.
For Lopetegui, the existence of a large squad must be a reflection of the good work of the team. He has already shown in the last two courses that he has no problems when it comes to delivering opportunities and there are pieces that claim to have them despite having been practically discarded this past summer. Players like Munir or Idrissi want minutes in three quarters while waiting for Ocampos to also opt for a privileged place in that area in which Lamela and Suso want to be a leading player. The Argentine, for now, awaits his opportunity with brilliant appearances.
