Alexander Puzik presents to your attention the announcement of the central match of the 30th round of the Spanish La Liga.
The main match of the current champions in Spain will be confrontation in Andalusia, where Sevilla will try to stop the champion course of Barcelona.
Seville - Barcelona Saturday, 21:45, Seville, Ramon Sanchez Pisjuan. The referee of the meeting is Gonzalez Gonzalez.
After coming to the post of head coach of Seville Vincenzo Montella, to the great disappointment of many fans, the entourage that hung around Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan. "Nervions" lost in the first match with the new coaches in their field and this was a fiasco for the team first in 14 months at Ramon Sanchez Pisjuan. Time passed, and the results only worsened. Dry statistics - for the last 7 matches in the home arena of Seville won only twice. It turns out that Montella killed the reputation of Pisjuan? Okay, jokes aside.
At the moment, Montell saves only two points. But both of them are more than weighty. Speech about the passage of his team Manchester United in the Champions League, which guaranteed Andalusians a place in the quarterfinals of the largest European tournament and, of course, the final of the Cup of Spain, when the formidable Atletico. It is these achievements that currently allow the Italian to remain in his place. As for La Liga, the situation here is deplorable. The struggle for the Champions League has already been lost, and competitors are trying to leave the team even without the League of Europe.
Today's match is a rehearsal for the King's Cup finals, but do not think that the teams will play half-heartedly. After an international break, it often happens that it is difficult for players to switch quickly to club football, but on the other hand, both teams need points. Montella perfectly understands that through the European cups get a ticket to the Champions League or LE will be extremely difficult, but on the basis of this there is only one way out - to gain points and win the fight for the fifth place. Barcelona, ??in turn, wants to register the championship as soon as possible in order to calmly concentrate on the battles in Europe.
As for the personnel situation, there are no critical problems for either Montella or Valverde. Ennaradore Sevilla will not be able to count only on the disqualified Pablo Sarabia, while the "blue-pomegranate" certainly will not help injured Sergio Busquets and Luca Dinh. Also, there are minor concerns about the exits to the field of Leo Messi, Mark-Andre ter Stegen and Gerard Piquet. Everyone has a different minimal damage and there is a small chance that immediately after the pause Valverde will not throw them.
It seems that both teams will be hard to enter the game, but the ball traditionally will be owned by the guests. In this case, Barca will not force events, but will gradually look for weaknesses in the defense of the opponent and trivial catch on an error. The "Nervionians" will also undoubtedly have their moments - the main thing is to skillfully dispose of them. However, given Muriel's "fantastic realization," there is a certainty that there will be big problems with this.
