Next Saturday’s duel at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán comes full of incentives
The latest events in Sevilla F.C. they will not be easily forgotten. But there is no time to waste because next Saturday a Athletic of Ernest Valverde absolutely unleashed. A rival of those who do not give anything away. Sevilla fears the worst.
The painful defeat against Borussia Dortmund It was the straw that broke the camel’s back. Well, not really. Because Julen Lopetegui he received the news of his dismissal hours before playing the game. A very disrespectful way of dispensing with a coach who has made history in the Sevilla F.C..
Sampaoli by Lopetegui
Lopetegui has broken a record for points, winning percentage and consecutive years putting Sevilla FC in the Champions League. In addition, he added a new Europa League leaving rivals such as Inter Milan and Manchester United on the way.
Perhaps because of that record, Sánchez Pizjuán thanked the services provided and gave him a thunderous ovation at the end of the match. Despite the embarrassing defeat. Sampaoli will be his replacement, a very energetic coach but who needs time to be able to implement changes in a very weakened squad.
And now Athletic de Valverde arrives
The worst thing is that there is no time for reaction. There is no preseason or break. On Saturday the ball rolls again at the Sánchez Pizjuán with the visit of the fearsome Athletic of Valverde. An intense team, playing by heart, with several players in their best form.
The Iñaki Wiiliams, Nico, Sancet, Muniain or Berenguer arrive in Seville third in the table, just 3 points behind Real Madrid and FC Barcelona. A team that maintains the virtues of Marcelino in pressure, but has added very powerful automatisms in attack. Sevilla is not optimistic.
