The sporting crisis at Sevilla is answered by the anger of fans who fearfully watch their team heading towards relegation without appreciating signs of change. After the defeat in Girona and after a tense episode lived in the airport of the Seville capital upon the arrival of the team, some graffiti appeared last night in the access area to the sports city.
In them the soccer players and the president José Castro are rebuked, as well as his board of directors. The tension is palpable and the defeat in Montilivi has further inflamed the spirits. In one of them, you can read the following: “If we descend you will have nowhere to hide!” In the other, the president is accused: “Castro game over. Out of Sevilla. Infamous directive and staff”. The Nervionense team will face two consecutive league games at the Sánchez-Pizjuán and Jorge Sampaoli was questioned this morning about it. In relation to these last unpleasant episodes, the technician understands it as something “global” in “this hot circus” that is football.
“What has happened is not something abnormal, it is global. They are demonstrations, disapproval of a project that does not work. They have to find someone to condemn. I believe that the best thing that can happen to us is unity. That on Saturday instead of think of an ordeal, make it a party, we all have to go together. If the players and we all come under pressure to that game, because they are going to point out those who do not achieve what they want, it is easier for us to have more to lose than win. It is an accepted mode of expression in this circus that is football. Everything is allowed. We have to live with that,” Sampaoli said this afternoon.
Upcoming fixture
Luis García Plaza, the coach of Deportivo Alavés, indicated before facing Sevilla in the Copa del Rey that they have no pressure, despite having lost last Friday in Oviedo, the fifth league defeat in the last six days, and stressed that it is a nice game to play. The Madrid coach stressed in the press room that the Copa del Rey has been taken with great pride. “If we have to fall, we will do it against one of the greats in the category. And if we go through we will play a game at home,” he explained.
“We’re going with enthusiasm, wanting to go through. We know it’s difficult, but why couldn’t I give it a go? We’re playing at home and we’re going to try to do our best,” he promised.
