He Sevilla FC overcome with more difficulties than expected, due to the income obtained at the break, the second round of the King’s Cup in Almendralejowhere he was sheltered for more than 4.000 aficionadosshowing that the fans continue to support … a coach who, for the first time since he has been in the Sevilla doubts have entered your mind. Not whether he will be able to carry out the project, but how to do it. Which path to take and follow. For now, it focuses on the insistence on a game idea above even style. He works in one direction and his players try to find that point where having the ball stops being a problem and can be considered a virtue. The calendar has dictated that to break the negative dynamic, those from Nervión face two key games before Christmas. Visit tomorrow Mestallawith a Valencia who also suffered in the Cup (more than the Sevillistas), and then received in the Sánchez-Pizjuán al Oviedoin the last game of 2025 at the Sevillistas stadium. Two commitments to reverse the dynamic and for the coach to show the way forward. The ball is in your court.
On the positive side, going on vacation with 20 or 22 points It would be making an unfinished first round in the average number of points that gives salvation. To tell the good side. On the other hand, a setback or more than one in these two finals would cause dangerous nerves, with the figure of the coach always at the center of everything. The trust in Matías AlmeydIt has not been diluted by a board of directors more concerned with external situations, such as the sale of shares, than with the sporting event itself. The Argentine coach has become club figure and spokespersonalthough in this sport only results rule and few tenants of the Nervionense bench have endured dynamics as negative as those that the Sevilla coach now faces.
Those five defeats in the last six games of the League, having fallen in eight of 14they leave you complex numbers. The relegation zone is viewed with a certain distance, although the four points that separate it could be less depending on what happens at Mestalla. Because Valencia has also gotten into trouble after its resurgence last season thanks to Corberan. It happened in Copa in extra time and now look at the nervous Sevilla as the ideal opportunity to gain momentum. Two teams with needs always offer ugly, complex and close matches. The field factor will help, although it is not clear to whom. The last time Sevilla visited Mestalla was at the beginning of spring last year, with an (undeserved) defeat that caused an unexpected earthquake.
Garcia Pimienta He was dismissed after four consecutive defeats. Despite the contrary opinion of the then sports director, Victor Ortathe club lowered its thumb looking for a reaction that did not come, although the points accumulated in the first half of the course helped keep the blood from reaching the river. Almeyda is not questioned to that point. Falling at Mestalla is not in the plans, although it would be bearable. Do not subsequently defeat Oviedo As a venue it would offer the feeling that everything is falling apart, closing the year with an always complex visit to the Santiago Bernabéu. Sevilla and its coach have two games ahead of them to regain their lost momentum. Nobody in the hallways Sánchez-Pizjuán At the moment he has mentioned the word crisis or even revolution, which would mean that the Azuleño coach’s hours are numbered.
Antonio Cordon
And here the figure of Antonio Cordón. The sports or football director is a man who is not so involved in day-to-day life, where his right hand, José Ignacio Navarrohandles all those situations where the trainer cannot or does not want to reach. However, the Argentine coach is not simply a man who can or knows how to cover fires, but rather he jumps into the first flame that he senses could burn down the locker room. His press conference prior to the match King’s Cup It was quite a declaration of intent. They advised him not to enter much further into the derby controversy, later qualifying those skids he was able to make due to the verbal impulse that he can with an extremely sincere person.
It is in press conferences and face to face. Since the first call from Antonio Cordon and the president of Sevilla himself, Matias Almeyda knew the Sevilla situation and the problems that were going to be encountered in carrying out a wounded project. Not deathly, but almost. Therefore, the current situation of results, the first mistrust from the stands or the critics, or those questions about his future do not catch him on the wrong foot. After a good start I thought that they would not be so recurrent, but these days Sevilla is walking on quicksand and the first person it devours is always the tenant on the bench.
Cordón does not stop privately showing his confidence in the former AEKa bet of its own with certain risks. The board of directors continues to trust and understand that now a toll is being taken due to injuries, an elusive fortune in certain games and Almeyda’s lack of experience in championships at the Spanish level. Many of the games that the coach had control or competed in have escaped from his decisions on the bench. Looking to win he ended up falling with his back on the canvas. He has not had the temperance to think about the point that gives a tie or to wait for the opponent to make a mistake. Another lesson for the future. A point in Mestalladepending on the context of the crash, it would not be bad. As I would have known before Espanyol. December examines Almeyda and Sevilla. A key month for the future.
