Sevilla closed the preseason with a win against Cádiz Not exactly proud of. Terrible first half to amend the image in the second, with the changes in the midfield, and a goal that was an oasis within a team that continues to have a hard time carrying the weight of the games if it does not get ahead on the scoreboard. And it’s rarely happening to him. He already had problems with the goal last year. Their defensive fortress (Zamora Trophy included) influenced well above his punch. The scoring data from the preseason have only accentuated the feeling that Sevilla lacks a goal. Best finishers. Men with goal.
The Angers was the exception to the preseason rule, with six goals spread across many players. The truth is that in the rest of the friendlies (five), the team has scored a single goal in three games and in both of England they were left without scoring and hardly shooting between the three posts. Against Cádiz, it did create danger, especially in the second period, when liver (the best midfielder of the preseason) understood that lines can be broken in interior driving, always looking for the best pass alternative. Even so, Lopetegui’s team is still missing greater global coupling in the offensive plot. Depending on individual inspirations is not the best plan.
Because the Seville, as much as that idea has been insisted on, does not have strikers who unclog the games in a genius. the most palpable proof is that of En-Nesyri. The Moroccan was whistled by a stand that returns to see that clumsy and unstable striker from the first months in Nervin. The best moment of him, the course of the 24 goals, was also the one with the highest performance for Sevilla itself, which flew as a group. He used to open the can with his goals. The goalkeeper has become too small for the striker, who needs a dose of confidence like eating. And he’s not the one Sánchez-Pizjun precisely the stage where to fill up with it when the ball does not want to enter.
solutions in the market
Monchi looks for another striker profile in the marketwith Rafa Mir right now injured, but in a situation similar to that of En-Nesyri in terms of general confidence in their possibilities. The sports director knows how much money he has (not much) and the most realistic option is a transfer. Find the right player for the way Sevilla play. Lopetegui, with the loan from Martial, wanted him as ‘9’, thanks to his ability to combine away from the area and open spaces. None of Sevilla’s current battering rams fulfills that mission. The need to find the goal and the paths to it is gigantic. Lopetegui has a job. Monchi, too.
