history will remember Nemanja Gudelj as the player who missed the fifth penalty in Athensin the seventh final of the Super Cup for Sevilla. A painful memory for the Serbian, who took one of those shots with a lot to lose and little to gain, since he needed to score to reach sudden death. And it is that, according to Mendilibar’s words, the one who should have thrown was Suso.
From touching Bono to Gudelj’s crossbar: The cruelty of penalties for Sevilla
“I made a mistake. If he had stayed until the end, he would have taken a penalty. I thought that the one who entered could also shoot and in a better situation“, explained the Sevilla coach when asked about Erik Lamela. The Argentine was replaced by Suso in added time. He launched Rafa Mir, who entered with the man from Cádiz. Susan, apparently did not raise his hand to throw.
In fact, Mendilibar, after these words, was directly asked if Suso had not wanted to be one of the five pitchers. “I say nothing more“, replied Mendilibar. Surely this public statement will not like the number 7 at all. The Basque coach is not one of those who keep quiet. Second hookup with Suso. This puts you on the trigger.
