In order not to lose part of its dark magic, Sevilla once again destroyed a happy afternoon for all those who still feel pain from everything that has to do with their team. They have lost hope of seeing them play halfway decent or win two games in a row, but in times of hope they still had that doubt (which multiplied with the 2023 Europa League) that destiny had reserved for them the wild card of the unexpected. This Seville is no longer good for that, where everything it tries to build are vague illusions that the mind plays with to avoid falling into desperation and hopelessness. The elimination of the Copa del Rey against a Second Division, no matter how many average First Division squads it may have (it was shamefully relegated a few months ago), is one more shame in the path of a club whose foundations are flawed from those who take each and every one of the decisions. José María del Nido Carrasco should consider, once and for all, whether it is really worth continuing to govern the club that he learned to love since he was a child when no one thinks he is the right person for it. Not even those who shake his hand, say yes to everything and fill their pockets, leaving the president to be the one to bear the responsibility and criticism of everything bad that is done in Seville. One of those advisors who whisper in the ear and brush off the disastrous sporting and business decisions that have led the many-time European champion to swim among mediocrity as if it were not with them. And the worst feeling at the beginning of 2025 is that there is still nothing to hold on to. Everything that comes will be worse. Sure. Why continue when no one wants you? No more smoke screens. The eternal figure of Jesús Navas has been covering up embarrassments and embarrassing defeats. Nervión expressed his feelings when he understood that applauding Pellegrini or Joaquín at the farewell of the great captain was part of the decorum and education of his party, but they would not be lenient with whoever sits in the presidential chair. They do not forgive him for his persistence in continuing to direct Sevilla against the will of the masses, with a handful of actions and the representation of others by his father, to whom he does not speak a word. Continuing against all odds, no matter how much he thinks he has the recipe to once again lay the foundations for a powerful Sevilla, they are nothing more than illusions in his head. More desire than reality. More flight forward than firm steps. More about being right or getting away with proving I don’t know what to I don’t know who (well, yes we know) than accepting the stubborn truth of this whole pantomime. Not even with the teasing and lack of waist and seriousness regarding breaking relations with Betis, another toast to the sun to gain the sympathy of Sevilla fans, has he been able to get closer to the hearts of those who feel like him. The last chapter is to leak that last night he started the fight in the Almería locker room. He has also decided to renew his coach until the end of time, who also has his responsibility. Here each one takes responsibility for their faults, although always under the umbrella of the one who put them in their positions of responsibility. That the project is just starting and needs time has been understood by a Sevillismo that has not taken up arms after defeats in Nervión full of impotence because the rival, without being anything out of this world, was going seven speeds faster than you. Better not to talk about the drama away from Sánchez-Pizjuán, where García Pimienta repeats the mistake of playing what the squad neither knows nor can. At the time I didn’t like his signing and later I defended his way of working. He seems honest to me and that he respects his players. It doesn’t hide behind excuses. However, I was afraid of his character when it came to facing moments of tension, which were going to come, within a club that is experiencing a constant fire. The first big crisis has already arrived, destroying the only hope of the course at the first opportunity and showing that we can value the team between average and bad. And that the hand of his coach in directing games is between null and non-existent. Was he the ideal man for a Seville between the wars? If they give him time to build a project, perhaps, but the endurance of Sevillismo has a date. And despite the lowering of the bar, he does not plan to swallow everything. Those who did not want to open their eyes are already beginning to do so. Víctor Orta and Pimienta have been Sevilla’s bets to relaunch a Sevilla that has buried years of success under the embarrassment of its leaders. Why continue like this? If this question is not answered, the infinite loop of this Seville will deliver it to the worst of its fates. The letter to the Kings (Baltasar, of course) has already been written. No signings are requested. Only a slightly better future. The Sevillista only has to believe in magic. It is not little, but from an age onwards it is not filling enough.
