Sevilla subject to Barcelona

Coaches' careers are usually not forged from victories, but from defeats.

Perhaps because there is nothing more routine than failure.

was fired from the Spanish team before living the dream of every professional, to participate in a World Cup.

Julen Lopetegui was fired from Real Madrid after being devastated by Barcelona at the Camp Nou (5-1).

The football mincer, always relentless, threatened to tear apart the future of a coach suddenly turned outlaw.

He did not notice the shipwrecks of others, but rather the reasons that had led the Gipuzkoan to gain a foothold in the elite benches.

Whoever saw the dawn of his Seville at the Camp Nou, majestic with the ball and with an air of a superlative team, will be able to understand the importance of the path in growth.

Faced with that new Barcelona of

who came to enjoy himself a lot against Villarreal and Celta, Sevilla not only did not come out intimidated.

Rather, he prepared to take over the stage before the proud gaze of Lopetegui, who could not move from the stands when he was serving a penalty game.

There was nothing artificial about the visiting threat.

In no time he had already caused a clear chance through a center from

headed high by

, but also the first goal of the game.

Barça did not think it appropriate to increase vigilance in a short corner.

Without realizing that Suso would not find too much defensive opposition in

, unable to avoid the origin of the goal.

, displaced by a

much stronger and more attentive

, cleared into the area of ​​influence of his compatriot

.

And the ram, a hammer with the goal in front of him, only had to pocket the ball with all the force that his left boot gave him.

Neto reacted with the ball already inside.

Coutinho's response to Luuk de Jong's goal

Aware Barcelona that the night would undoubtedly bring him to suffering, at least he knew how to interpret the game.

Everything happened to maintain a certain order despite advanced pressure from Sevilla, to try to make sure that nothing happened and, above all, to finish any of the transitions that were presented to him.

Because although it was Sevilla who was in charge, as much as

return to

the Camp Nou did not cause a feeling of longing, the Catalans had little enough to create danger.

Hence, the Barcelona response was so immediate.

who spent the game unsuccessfully searching for a place to progress without too much opposition, had to recall old mechanisms.

The Argentine sought in his own way

career

down the left-handed lane.

And

, who already knew what was coming to him, preferred to avoid the damage by attacking the leather.

With the misfortune that his rejection opened the skies to

, attentive and with his foot ready for the tie.

Between the two goals, not even two minutes had elapsed.

But Barcelona was never able to change the dynamics of the night.

and Frenkie de Jong accumulated losses and were unable to find passing lanes for the legion of midfielders.

Messi, Ansu, Coutinho and

were confined in a three-quarter area full of bars.

Between

and

denied any offensive hope for Koeman's team in the static attack.

And the sparks were no longer enough.

Just a shot in a fall from Griezmann, again spectral and neglected, and another Messi cross allowed some relief.

Premiere of Sergiño Dest

Sevilla, on the other hand, was threading phases of advance and withdrawal with the security of having the game in the head.

Before the end of the first act, he had already sniffed the second goal in a center in Suso that Fernando did not reach, and in another loss by Frenkie de Jong.

He also had a choice in the second act.

, who was not intimidated in his mandatory ownership by

sanction

, cleared the wood.

While Koundé was one of those who sought the net from set pieces.

Koeman searched for answers.

, even the debutant

, substitute for the injured Jordi Alba and one of the most brazen in his coming-out.

Although improvement was noticed, there was no way out of the labyrinth created by Lopetegui, a torment for Inter in the Europa League, for Bayern in the final of the European Super Cup, and now also for this newly minted Barcelona.

Messi, in the last puff, still looked for a liberating goal and claimed a penalty from Diego Carlos after a clear stomp in the area just after touching the ball.

Nothing opposed this time the VAR.

These were not hours to complicate life.

Bono had already taken another from Trincao.

And the tie remained.

Knocking down this Seville is a titanic job.

A task for which this Barcelona, ​​despite its improvement, is not yet ready.
