LaLiga
wanted a demonstration of rejection of the competition that Real Madrid, Barça and Atlético were plotting, and
Sevilla
offered them the best way to stage it at the Ciutat de València. The
performance
of
Tebas
began with t-shirts claiming football for the fans and ended with a victory for the Sevillians, who
sprint and tighten the classification
. An upstart sneaks into the preserve of the greats and scares them at a key moment in the championship. The incarnation that in football, effort and surprise are inalienable concepts.
The basis of the Sevilla revolution is to have added 18 points from the last 21 in play. The elimination in the Cup and the Champions League, adorned with a painful defeat against Elche, awakened
Lopetegui's
team
, which has only given up a draw since then. Against
Levante,
a
bit
from
En-Nesyri
was enough
to stay firm on a path that the Champions League already assures them and, who knows what else. It may sound.
The intentions were made clear with a poisoned shot from
Jordán
from the front that forced Cárdenas to fly to take him over the crossbar. Still, the granotas did not make it easy for him. Chastened by the defeat against Villarreal, Paco López opted for unit B, an eleven more clothed and,
without Morales or Roger
, less dangerous, entrusted to Malsa's ability to destroy and Melero to set up a counter. But he could only find Bardhi in a play that the Macedonian did not know how to take advantage of.
Sevilla drove, comfortable and unhurried, and pressed the accelerator when the clock was already pointing to rest. He could not find a way to subdue a hurt Levante. However, when he returned from the dressing room, he found it in a mistake by his rival. A risky horizontal pass from Son looking for Malsa was hunted by Suso to serve En-Nesyri with a measured pass on the foot with which he beat the Granota goalkeeper. This goal not only puts the team in the fight for the League, but also makes him
the Moroccan player who has scored the most goals
in a LaLiga season: 17 to 16 for the former Granada forward El-Arabi.
Paco López reacted by recovering Morales, refreshing the midfield and propping up the attack with Roger, but Levante remained trapped in that domain.
Not a single shot on goal was achieved by the granotas, who seem to have been anchored in the aftermath of the defeat in the cup semifinals.
Reaching the points that allow you to let go is becoming too costly a task.
Sevilla did not slacken despite being dominating and did not give up looking for a way to expand the scoreboard.
Not a single shot on goal was achieved by the granotas against a solid rival who only had the setback
of Koundé's injury
.
The team does not seem to have a brake after this fourth consecutive victory, the sixth in a streak that places it with the best score in recent years and places it for the second consecutive year in the Champions League.
Neither does
Lopetegui
seem to have it
.
If his arrival at Sánchez Pizjuan aroused any suspicion, two seasons later he has erased them with a stroke of the pen.
In the 102 games he has directed, he has added 62 victories, 61%, and the base has been defensive strength as a team weapon.
In that hundred of games, almost half, 49, have finished with a clean sheet.
There is no team in Spain capable of showing the big three that, as they neglect themselves, it has the capacity to compete against them because they are league champions.
