There are many and varied reasons that articulate Sevilla’s current sporting situation, now that the first of the two weeks scheduled for the league break is over and there are still a few days left for the competition to resume when this new direct attention to the international calendar ends. And one of them undoubtedly results in the management of their expulsions, a situation that is combined with the misfortune of injuries to some pillars and the noticeable drop in the overall performance of all lines. García Pimienta’s team has gone to this new break, occupying a position of which they should not be at all proud, and that is that the Sevilla team is the LaLiga EA Sports 2024-25 squad that has seen the most red cards to date and they are There are several data that explain this circumstance, which in turn weighs down everything else.
The Nervion team already left for the previous league break with the knowledge that four of its players had been sent off for different reasons, forcing Sevilla to play on many occasions with fewer players than they could have taken advantage of on the pitch. , and although it is true that the influence of said inferiority has barely been palpable in terms of result, as all the referee decisions have been very late in the game, the Nervión club did notice that last one. expulsion that occurred in the Butarque stadium against Leganés, where Agoumé is the last to join that sad list that not only declines in key phases depending on which duels, but also conditions the preparation of the following ones, such as Rayo Vallecano, where the red and white coach will have to prepare for the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán exam without the French midfielder, who will have to face his suspension.

Several times the group led by García Pimienta has ended up with ten footballers on the pitch, which has actively and passively dealt with an issue that continues to happen internally for various reasons. Among them, resorting to the last one, is the fidelity to a style in the ball exit proposed by the Barcelona player himself, but there have also been gross individual errors that have been costing points and that also make Sevilla the most expelled team in the league. competition (5), above Athletic and Celta (3), both above the classification compared to the Nervionenses, while there are none with four. It should be noted, however, that he would have also left the leader in this section a month or so ago in that last point and aside. Even more striking is to see the other two teams that have seen two red cards after thirteen games, Alavés and Mallorca (2), who have suffered less than half as much compared to the red and white team. The most unique thing is undoubtedly that all the actions that have left the team one less have occurred no earlier than the 80th minute, something that responds to the typical tension of the final minutes and sometimes to the intention of turning around a result. against or defend a favorable one.
Continuing with the number of expelled players, there are up to eleven teams that have only had their plans disrupted in that regard on one occasion, perhaps the most reasonable number taking into account what has been played so far: Atlético, Barcelona, Betis, Getafe , Girona, Rayo, Real Madrid, Real Sociedad, Valencia, Valladolid and Villarreal. Teams like Espanyol, Las Palmas, Leganés and Osasuna are escaping the burning for the moment, not without patent skill. This statistic contrasts considerably with the large number of yellow cards that Sevilla has seen with respect to its competitors in said case. Valladolid (42), Las Palmas (37), Alavés (36), Villarreal (34), Getafe (32), Espanyol (32) and Girona (30) precede the Nervionense team (29) in number of cards, being eighth in contention in this sense together with Osasuna and the first, as we say, in terms of expulsions, which also hinders any room for maneuver intended by the coach, who only on eight occasions of the disputed whenever the league is approached had the opportunity to end the eleven troops with which it began any contest.
The list of aggrieved does not end
It all started with Saúl at the end of August. The midfielder from Elche was going to miss up to three games between the sanction that he was already carrying and the two from which he had to be absent due to his repeated protests in that match against Mallorca in Son Moix. That ended with the 0-0 that started, but García Pimienta had to be deprived of one of the great summer additions for consecutive matches in Girona and Getafe. The double yellow card that Juanlu saw for an alleged simulation against Getafe added to a late tackle in the final stretch (1-0) did carry a confrontation sanction. Although Marcao’s serious and recent mistake hurt Sevillismo more, he did not end up on the field like the rest of his namesakes against Valladolid. Unlike the event in Leganés, Sevilla had already done its homework and achieved its second victory of the season in Pucela (2-1), but a few days ago the Brazilian central defender was the author of a childish penalty on Zubimendi that would make that Real had already sentenced the match (0-2).
Nianzou closed the list of those affected by another double warning, the first for a foul and the same at the end that would not modify the final score in the electronic, this time in favor of the eternal rival (1-0). Now it is Agoumé who represents Sevilla’s fifth mistake in this sense, having committed a penalty against Leganés, and since it was a clear scoring opportunity, that problem would not only end with the goal at eleven meters, but also with the impossibility of having the French midfielder in a game in which he was not doing a bad job until that incident blew up Sevilla’s hope of scoring in Butarque.
