The face of Matías Almeyda on the bench Sevilla FCapart from the controversy he had with the referee and the match assistant in Mestallawas a poem at first. His team had the one and the best … arrivals, but their reference striker was responsible for spoiling almost every game with this unhealthy tendency to always be offside. The data that indicates the Nigerian as the player from the five major leagues who most often falls into this law of footballeven if with the number of titles and minutes it is even paradoxical. He always makes gestures of incomprehension, as if the lineman was wrong in his decision, but the truth is that he usually falls due to poor positioning, even in plays where he would not take advantage of his starting position. The coaching staff insists he needs to improve in this area of his football, more with a Seville far from its stadium Play with quick attacks. At the moment, he has no way to remedy his lack of understanding of his own teammates’ overall game. And Isaac isn’t there either..
Almeyda, in addition, knows that in the crucial match against Oviedo he will not have the Lebrija striker either.. It’s not that he’s missing a season, but Akor can’t stand up to the comparison when it comes to at least playing with his teammates. Isaac has three goals in La Liga plus the one scored against Extremadura in the Cup, of great value given the final result. On the other hand, the Nigerian has scored two goals in the national championship, both coming from the bench. In the matches where he had to start, his impact on the game was limited. It is very difficult for him to score a goal and in well-executed actions on the counter-attack, like the one in Mestalla where bear He drives along the central lane and waits for the right moment to allow the attacker to make a pass to the left. Adams decides not to shoot and makes a back pass where he had no teammates.
Sevilla does not have excessive funds to go to the market, with a loan or transfer of young value as alternatives
He is an attacker who lives better in solitude than in collective play, even if he also has difficulty creating chances alone. During the previous outing, against Spanishhe only shot on goal once after poor control in the race, with a well-aimed whip. It is perhaps in shooting on goal that he is most successful or presents the greatest danger.. The difficulties are getting past the goal. It was precisely in Valencia that he had the clearest opportunity for Sevilla with a face-to-face. He took advantage of an authorization to advance Tárrega, Valencia central defender that later an own goal was scored, and he knew how to push the ball forward, with the harassment of the defender, who cut his advantage in his career due to the difficulties of the Sevilla player in driving the ball, with the final shot well above the goal.
The Sevilla coach will have to play this first round with two references. HAS Garcia Pimienta They also offered him two, but at no time did he manage to bring them into line. Iheanachowhile Isaac did not give the desired level. In this equation of attackers you can place Alexis Sanchez. The problem is that the Chilean placed himself in the team as a natural replacement for Little as a playmaker or third midfielder, without being a man possessing the virtues necessary for this position. He moves further and further away from the area where he can actually create danger. SO, Almeyda has already spoken with those responsible for sports management to see how the lead vote for the second round of the championship can be resolved. Sevilla have minimal funds and the idea in January will be to raise more funds. Despite this, the club will try to satisfy its coach with another offensive reference that can fit into the short incorporation budget that it manages. Antonio Cordon.
January market
The attacker’s profile in January is still similar. Sevilla will seek a loan from powerful clubs that do not involve large expenses. Or, the signing of a young value from a minor league. Seville technicians are present Serbia recently assessed the market in this country and prepared prospective reports. The fear that exists in Nervión is that the latest bets in a key position have not turned out positive at all. Without going further than his Akor Adams, for whom Sevilla paid five million less than a year ago. In the balance, it must be established that Cordón has not spent a euro as sports director until now, since the final purchase of Agoume It was on the roadmap of Sevilla and it is not attributable to the new sporting director. It’s now that your hand should be noticed.
The sporting director has defended since the start of the League that he thought Akor Adams could be one of the hidden players of the season.
And that his defense of Akor and Isaac has been more than commented on. “Akor will become one of the best strikers in La Liga”even declared the leader of Extremadura about one of the attackers he had in his squad, leaving this position without reinforcement after the departure of Lukebakio and Iheanacho. Or rather, he only strengthened the squad with Alexis Sánchez when he got rid of two men, including one of great importance in the team. Now Sevilla depends on what Akor does to score. There are several games where he started and didn’t see the goal. Some are more successful than others. During the Sevillists’ last victory in the League, against Osasunaat least he had several self-generated scoring chances. He feels good in close games, where he can get further back with the ball under control to touch the goal, before his breakout becomes effective and he can stay one-on-one with the goalie without the lineman raising the flag.
The African Cup, a new setback
And to make matters worse for Sevilla, the decisive absences due to injury in the first team are now added to the arrival of the African Cup, where they will lose two of their men – precisely not injured – as soon as the Nigerian coach has confirmed that Akor Adams and Chidera Ejuke will have to pack their bags after the Oviedo match to play in the African national team tournament. In his country, the striker showed that he can fight for a place in the team, with goals and some pretty notable performances. It has nothing to do with European football or what is asked of him in Seville.
His absence, simply due to the number of troops, also means that the sports management must accelerate its negotiations to recruit an attacker, since in the month of January, outside of the League matches, Sevilla, if it passes the next round of the Cup, will enter the knockout round of the competition and will want to continue advancing to have a little joy or something to remember in a section of the route. Goals are the most expensive thing in football and a cashless Sevilla refuses to score goals. The attacker is offside. The team needs a reinforcement like the “9”.
