Among the defects that Sevilla has shown throughout the competition, there is a fact that stands out negatively since García Pimienta is coach of the Nervión team. And it is none other than, by far, it is the team that More goals has received a ball standing throughout LaLiga. This weak point, with two goals received against Barcelona, in a defeat that would have been avoidable if it was more powerful in that matter, is more than evidenced: almost the 40% Of the many embedded they have arrived in these circumstances. The power of Nervión in the air game has completely disappeared, reflecting an outstanding loss of solidity in this important section of the game, just where it previously reflected solidity.
The numbers are worrisome. Between corners, band kicks, direct and indirect offenses, Sevilla has received 13 goals so far this seasona figure that not only shows an evil in the team, but does not speak excessively well of the work that is being carried out by the coaching staff to improve in this facet. There is the individual defensive quality (high, powerful players in the ball stopped or good in the marks), and the general, with the disposition of how to defend the ball stopped as the main argument of the coach. Celta (12), Valladolid, Espanyol (11) and Leganés (10) They approach these records, when LaLiga average is much lower (7’7). A terrifying fact for a team that must have the ball stopped as a weapon, not as a weak point.
A recent example of this fragility was evidenced in his meeting against Barcelona last Sunday, where He fit two more goals in stopped ball playsconfirming this worrying trend. He was overcome, on top of his audience. It is an adverse evolution. Sevilla has received in this campaign the same goals to a stopped ball as in the whole last season and more than double than in 2022/23. This shows a setback that moves the team of García Pimienta of its main objective: not to pass excessive trouble. For something more I would need, above, to be one of the best in the two areas, more than demonstrated that it is not currently possible.
