Sevilla – Rcd Espanyol comes with the same demand Garc\u00eda Plaza has repeated all week: win again and keep the pressure on in the final stretch. The coach said the next day\u2019s 16:00 kickoff shortens the wait, and he expects another home “manicomio” to drive Sevilla toward a result that would move them closer to the objective.<\/p>\n
Garc\u00eda Plaza and Sevilla<\/p>\n
“Ma\u00f1ana jugamos a las 16:00 con lo que la espera ser\u00e1 m\u00e1s corta,” Garc\u00eda Plaza said before the match. He also made the atmosphere part of the plan: “Ma\u00f1ana esperamos otro manicomio aqu\u00ed y que sea incre\u00edble porque creo que es lo que nos ayuda.”<\/p>\n
That is the sharp edge of this game for Sevilla. Garc\u00eda Plaza called Espanyol the most important opponent in front of them, said Sevilla needed another victory to take an important step, and added that the previous win kept the team in the fight. <\/p>\n
Isaac, Sow and Gudelj<\/p>\n
Selection points were part of the message too. Garc\u00eda Plaza said Isaac would play because he was better than in the previous match, and that Djibril Sow could be considered because he was very good in Pamplona.<\/p>\n
He also pointed to Nemanja Gudelj and Lucien Agoum\u00e9, saying both were at an exceptional level in the previous match. “La idea es tocar lo m\u00ednimo,” he said, signaling that Sevilla should change as little as possible in the lineup.<\/p>\n
Sevilla’s final stretch<\/p>\n
The coach tied that approach to a run of mixed results. He said Sevilla had two good matches with a bad result in Pamplona and another good match with a short result, and he added that the team had done better than Real Sociedad.<\/p>\n
Garc\u00eda Plaza also said Sevilla deserved more than a short result against Real Sociedad and deserved more against Atl\u00e9tico de Madrid. That is why the next test against Espanyol carries so much weight: Sevilla have to win again, not only to keep the fight alive, but to keep narrowing the gap to the objective they are chasing in the closing stretch. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sevilla – Rcd Espanyol comes with the same demand Garc\u00eda Plaza has repeated all week: win again and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":20298,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[10898,93,10815,5600,10895,10897,327,109,1853,10896,2062,778],"class_list":{"0":"post-20297","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-seville","8":"tag-10898","9":"tag-espanyol","10":"tag-garcia","11":"tag-home","12":"tag-plaza","13":"tag-rcd","14":"tag-sevilla","15":"tag-seville","16":"tag-test","17":"tag-urges","18":"tag-win","19":"tag-with"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20297","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20297"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20297\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20298"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20297"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20297"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20297"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
