In football it is easy to go from villain to hero, and vice versa, in a matter of days. The only truth about this sport is that the results are what truly determine the state of tranquility in which a project will rest. The stress that Sevilla has been under for a couple of years has generated so much cortisol that the club has been fleeing forward without rhyme or reason. Sampaoli, Mendilibar, Diego Alonso, Quique Sánchez Flores… nicotine patches to satisfy the monkey with victories. It is relatively easy to propose a conservative formula and exploit the little that your veterans can give you. However, these types of formulas do what they do, to save furniture and continue fleeing until you become unbalanced… and fall. Nobody doubts that the choice of Xavi García Pimienta has been risky. Just as dangerous as the announcement of its renewal through a clip that borders on a comic sketch. However, it is especially striking how little credit the Catalan has received, despite having scored more points than these last two ruinous campaigns. The income is not something to inflate the chest, but there is no doubt that it is a step forward for a project that aims to evolve under the orders of a coach who is an expert in managing quarries. Pimienta’s hand is palpable in Sevilla. He has been able to get performance out of players who had been considered lost. He has no fixed eleven and has adapted his vision of the game to the shortcomings and strengths of his group. The resources they have are very scarce, which slows down the results, but doubting their capacity at this point is highly dangerous. Sevilla needs a youth manager, with a hunger to grow and win… Sevilla needs a project, a path to follow. And if Pimienta isn’t worth directing it, who is?
