Opinions on Lopetegui's Sevilla

Absolutely. This is a ‘must-do’ regardless of whether Lope stays or not.

Don’t think I can stand another year of this manager, honestly, we had the greatest squad in our history and we thrashed absolutely nobody, not even Andratx, even that went to penalties.

Goooooooooooooooooo awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay Lopeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetegui

Go and infect some other club.

He would be sacked within one year solely due Lopeball if he ever gonna coach “big team” again.

I seem to remember Lope working closely with Monchi at this time of year but at present it’s just the odd phone call :crossed_fingers:

It is a bit strange. Never good to be in limbo in June. Maybe he is on holiday with Sampoli so he can get some offensive tutorials.

He and his agent are like “Remember when we pissed off the Spanish Federation on the eve of the World Cup? What can we do to top that on our way out of Sevilla? Maybe Sampaoli will have some ideas, he seemed to be good at this game.”

That’s it then. He’s staying.

sevilla are busy planning for next season according to Marca Sevilla FC: Lopetegui y Monchi siguen adelante con la planificación | Marca).

Monchi and Julen Lopetegui sat down for lunch together yesterday to prepare for their fourth year together at the Sanchez-Pizjuan. Both men shook hands and killed any final doubt surrounding the Basque coach’s position.

Feed me some ideas! I’ll see if I can crunch some numbers!

Lopetegui, please watch this.

I remember this one very clearly, mostly because of the circumstances when I watched it live on TV.

It was an end of high school summer trip in Durres, Albania and I was literally the only one cheering for Sevilla at the top of my lungs the whole time in the place where the match was shown. There were about 7-8 RM fans and most of the others were neutral but then joined on the Sevilla side after the second goal (as always with neutral fans lol).

It was probably one of the best games of Sevilla… full of passion and determination to win. Missed a ton of chances too but Casillas was in god-mode back then so couldn’t do much about it.

Perotti just calmly stroked in an easy goal and Casillas had no right to get to that.
That blew Perotti’s confidence clean out of the water, start of his downfall.

Both those matches were amazing. The atmosphere was incredible and give me goosebumps watching on tv. That era we had such an exciting team to watch and a full array of attacking options.

We could have beaten them about 4/5 - 1 had we been a bit more clinical. I crave for a team like that against that was exciting and full of passion.
