Jorge Sampaoli in Seville, season 2, episode 1. After a stint during the 2016-2017 season in Andalusia, Jorge Sampaoli was called up to play firefighters on duty in southern Spain. In the hard, the Sevillians managed to raise their heads yesterday for the reception of Athletic Bilbao. From the start of the match, they found the fault through Oliver Torres (4th). In the second half, they cracked at the end of the game on an achievement by Mikel Vesga (73rd) to finally concede an encouraging draw with the score of 1-1.
“We have to play better, not chase after the ball”
After the match, Jorge Sampaoli spoke trying to highlight the positive things; “The team have made a lot of effort in relation to the players they have, they need to own the ball a lot. The back and forth game does not suit us and that makes the players more worn out, and the construction of this team is for something else. The team ended up getting exhausted because it played badly and when you play badly, you get exhausted. What I appreciate in the group is the effort what they are doing, what we have to improve is the game, no Sevilla player today has any pain or cramp, the effort is not enough We have to play better, not run after the ball, but play with it, and that’s where we have to start improving. When there are so many turnovers at the start or in the middle of the field, the transition becomes difficult. As the team doubts itself , she finds herself behind in the second half, she puts herself far from the opposing goal and it is difficult to maintain the game in these conditions”. Tuesday, Seville goes to the lawn of Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League.
to summarize
