Zapping World Eleven Guardiola compares Haaland to Cruyff and Ibrahimovic
Julen Lopetegui could not resist Sevilla’s nightmarish start to the season. 17th in La Liga, the Andalusians are not doing much better in the Champions League with a small point in three games. Corrected on their lawn by Borussia Dortmund, Isco’s teammates once again sank. In this context, Julen Lopetegui was dismissed from his post just after the meeting. While Jorge Sampaoli should replace him, the Spanish coach received a standing ovation from his supporters this Wednesday at Sanchez-Pizjuan.
Invited to react to his departure at a press conference, Julen Lopetegui distinguished himself with a message full of elegance: “I’m going to take a little strength to try to express what’s in my head and in my heart. When you watch the video you realize that football punishes you a lot, we were much younger. It wears out, but it leaves traces in the heart. This tribute is something I will keep with me forever. Beautiful and complicated moments that we were able to overcome”
Lopetegui confident for the future of the club
Julen Lopetegui remains confident in the club’s ability to recover: “I have no doubt that the team will turn the situation around. With small adjustments and when many players come back to the level… the team will be where it needs to be. I will see it and I will be very proud. Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart. Here you have a supporter forever. This will always be my club.”
