Lopetegui, in focus

LOSC Lille Métropole (Metropolis) is the full name of a club with European vocation, just halfway between Paris, london and Brussels, three of the main logistics points of the Old Continent. Lille shines hidden as king of the humble, deserved aspiration to Robin Hood. They won Ligue 1 in 2011 and have managed like no other French club to sneak into the transition between the dynasties of Classroom Lyon and the PSG of petrodollars, which he also surprised by snatching the title in 2021. From the pandemic a champion was born who has died at the dawn of this new season, after the departure of the coach Christophe galtier. But that in recent weeks has returned to ride victorious, until Clermont-Ferrand defeated him just before the crucial duel against Sevilla (follow the game live on AS.com).

A match by the way in which the Portuguese returned to ownership Renato Sanches, one of the hidden stars in a cast full of youth, talent and speed. Sanches is the main doubt for an eleven that it won’t have Botman either, a Dutch central in which Monchi has detected Koundé’s replacement. Yes they threaten Bamba, Koné, Timothy Weah (son of George, that Liberian Ballon d’Or) and above all Jonathan David, who has already scored six goals in Ligue 1.

To the Seville he will still be missing his cheetah, En-Nesyri. Kooundé It was tested yesterday and I play the Papu Gomez It will depend on how dancing Julen Lopetegui is. A shot from the leader Real Sociedad and with one game less, the improvable garter game and the mediocre results in Champions, two draws against Salzburg and Wolfsburg, have returned to place on the Guipuzcoan technician the label of suspicious, already usual. In the noble floor of Nervión, his magnificent numbers support him, nor does he threaten to argue with the coach. At least, until tonight: not win, especially losing, would place Sevilla at a elimination step premature in the maximum continental competition.
