The break has been very long for Sevilla FC. Two weeks without competing, ruminating on the ugly feelings that the team left in their last appearances against Real Sociedad and Leganés, become almost unbearable for professionals who only have between their eyes to grab the next test to find the balm of victory. The fifteen days without football become no less indigestible to the Sevilla fan. Because the unbearable stretch without matches only contributes to fueling doubts about a project that no one can yet guess whether it will go up or down. It’s time to play again, which is what everyone wanted. And the script has no twist: Sevilla FC has to beat Rayo today at the Sánchez-Pizjuán without excuses or hesitation. No matter how much crisis comes (which there is and for the duration), the favorite is who he is and plays at home. The tedium of the break has left another serious injury for García Pimienta, who when he seemed to chisel the best version of Nianzou since who arrived at Sevilla FC, now loses the French central defender due to a high-grade muscle tear for the next three months. The plague of casualties in Nervión is worthy of study. A footballer has not finished leaving the infirmary when another is already entering. Meanwhile, Sevilla FC has tried to counter-program the monotony and restlessness of this new pause for national team commitments by appealing to the figure of their Cid and legend, a Jesús Navas who already He has a date for his great tribute (December 30). The club’s leaders also took advantage of the opportunity to ‘sell’ their vaunted regeneration plan aimed at returning Sevilla FC to among the best within three years… well, there is no better chance to begin that takeoff than by beating Rayo this afternoon and the following Monday. against Osasuna in another match that will also be played at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán. The occasion is painted bald. The Spanish proverb says that you should not hesitate, Seville, but rather have determination and diligence so as not to miss the opportunities that arise, since they do not usually appear twice. García Pimienta, who will maintain his usual 4-3-3 scheme despite the losses and the last setbacks, he is clear about how to approach the game: «There are no excuses. We are going to present a team that is more than competitive with our fans, unhappy with what happened the last day. We are going to give our all to make them proud and I am convinced that through unity we will make them feel proud. There is a lot left, then there will be another home game, but the most important one is the immediate one with Rayo. The team is prepared,” assured the Catalan coach in the preview. Sevilla FC will not be able to count on Lucien Agoumé, sanctioned for his absurd expulsion in Butarque that cost the team defeat, in addition to the injured Nyland, Ejuke, Saúl, Idumbo and Nianzou. At least Pimienta recovers a pillar of the defense like Loïc Badé. The former Rennes player will be one of the new additions to Sevilla’s eleven, partnering in the center of defense with Kike Salas, although the coach also has the Brazilian Marcao in that position. For his part, Gudelj would advance his position to the midfield, while another of the changes with respect to Leganés would be seen on the offensive front, with the entry of Peque on the left to complete the top trident along with Isaac Romero and Lukebakio. the previous Sevilla FC Álvaro Fernández; Carmona, Badé, Kike Salas, Pedrosa; Gudelj, Sow, Lokonga; Peque, Lukebakio and Isaac.

They have one more point than the Sevillistas and one less game, and they arrive at Sánchez-Pizjuán enraged by their latest mistake at home against Las Palmas (1-3). The Vallecanos face the clash with the entire squad available, without injuries or sanctions.
