While most of this week has been centered around the status of Kounde, we remain light at the CB position, with Rekik being the only other recognized CB from the senior squad. Lopetegui will once again rely on the cantera players to keep things tight at the back, while the frontmen look to build some much needed chemistry.
This would have been the 1st of 2 games played this weekend, but the match against Portimonense has been suspended.
The attitude the team is playing with is certainly different. Breaking with a lot of intent. I don’t know if it’s cause Fernando is on the pitch, or Roma getting that out of us.
Sevilla playing well individually. Whether they can keep the domination is another question. Looking like an effective machine without some of our best players on the pitch. Just 2 or 3 players that are not in the least creative.Ocampos looks in peak physical condition and is darned functional. Great that Dmitrovic has made an important save.
Turnover turns into a chance for Sevilla. Suso receives Roma giveaway, plays in YEN again on the left side this time, and it’s deflected out for a corner.
