Seville.He overcomes the tragedy by grabbing En-Nesyri
Sometimes talent is not enough.
You have to have football in your boots and head to take care of it.
Come home crying.
Die in every mistake and resurrect on the next play.
Do not get mired in the goals that were not, embrace with little happiness to the successes.
Youssef En-Nesyri (Fez, Morocco, 1997)
cost Sevilla FC 20 million euros.
Five years of contract and the grim responsibility of the goal.
It came in winter, like lost travelers.
Lopetegui's team pointed ways, but was orphaned when it approached the rival goal.
Dabbur and Chicharito had already packed their bags.
De Jong was still flying in a faint.
The Moroccan did not come for being an irrefutable scorer, 5 goals in 41 games with Málaga and 15 goals in 53 games with Leganés, but for contributing variants to the avant-garde of Nervion.
Overflow, perseverance, speed, pressure, youth and an exciting future.
"If it is expensive or cheap, time will tell," Monchi said on the day of his presentation.
His worst night as a Sevilla player was spent
at the end of September in Budapest
.
Sevilla played in the final of the European Super Cup against Bayern Munich at the Puskas Arena.
It was a demanding, even, tense match.
A reign of fierceness and containment.
A 90 minute tutorial.
En-Nesyri entered the 55 with a 1 to 1 on the scoreboard.
When the shock was already dying on the clock and in the muscle, Sevilla mounted a counterattack after a vacant corner from the Bavarians.
The African striker launched himself towards the goal defended by Neuer.
A sprint from area to area.
He received the assistance of Ocampos and faced the German goalkeeper.
In his instep nested the winning goal.
Title.
The confetti.
The glory.
He settled the body.
He wired the shot.
Neuer was minimal.
He covered as he could the gates of hell.
The tip shot warm and flat.
The keeper's hand dried paradise.
Sevilla ended up giving up in extra time.
En-Nesyri, sprawled on the grass, tortured by mistake, was embraced by his companions.
"When we win, we all win, and when we lose, we all lose," Oliver Torres later wrote.
The goal is a hot soup, the striker a chilled traveler.
En-Nesyri needed a night like the one he starred in in front of the Krasnodar.
The spotlights of the Champions.
The doubts around you.
A limping team.
And two goals to complete a crucial comeback
.
With one man less, with footballers occupying their positions almost by inertia, with all their trust in attack, En-Nesyri managed to double down Safonov, who was having a majestic encounter.
There he showed responsibility and courage.
This time, her legs didn't shake.
"I'm always positive, I have to keep working and give everything for the team," he said after the game, transforming his anger into humility.
Monchi's bet
En-Nesyri is a Monchi bet.
A footballer in the making who needs confidence and work.
A risky bet that with a dropper begins to pay off.
The mistakes bury the successes, especially in a hobby as severe as Sevilla's, who do not marry anyone, who do not understand mellows or gallantry.
But the Maghreb is beginning to assert itself.
He has 10 goals in 36 games with the Nervionian shield
on his chest.
One goal every 148 minutes.
Without being a starter, it is usually important in meetings.
Lopetegui uses him as a dynamiter, to open dull matches or speed up the game, usually replacing De Jong, a very different striker, with more pause, back play, support and control of the game.
The possibility of making them play together, changing the drawing, is on the table.
But the Moroccan loses in the band and the Dutchman is more comfortable with space in the area for his struggle, without giving up space to improvisation.
"Life always offers you revenge," Monchi told En-Nesyri after the Moroccan goal scored against Levante in the league a month ago.
That was Sevilla's last victory in the competition, in which he added
one point from the last twelve disputed
.
The red and white team wants to dress up a striker to polish.
Every mistake is a broken mischief that encourages derailment, which is why the sporting director, the coach and the squad spoil a footballer with a world ahead and a handful of mistakes that must soon be left behind.
Step by Step.
Goal for goal.
Pride and revenge.
