Sevilla and Valencia contradict Helenio Herrera

"They played better with ten to eleven" claimed the legendary coach Helenio Herrera in one of the most memorable phrases in the history of football. Perhaps in many cases has given such circumstances to the thrust of the ten largest players in the field remain at the lower bound of a partner. It has not been the case with Monday's game: the victory by two goals to nil on the Valencia Sevilla, the expulsion of Topal was a slab for all the Sevilla Che did not miss to add three valuable points.

Faced at the Sanchez Pizjuan two of the top teams in the league, two of the applicants to undertake the difficult task of addressing the duopoly that none want for our league. It's complicated. Valencia and Sevilla are two good sets with important players, but far from the two giants of the Liga at Villarreal which only seems to trace.

Disheveled left the Andalusian, decided to declare at the outset that the three points would stay at home. Pressed high up Sevilla and Valencia there was not time to recover, so the game was developed in the field almost Valencia. However, little by little, the Valencia was taking the pressure and daring to go on the counterattack. This was the only phase of the game in which the wind seemed to Valencia for, expressed in a clear chance of Mata cleared Javi Varas foot.

A mirage, because the party would reach its turning point: the expulsion of Topal commented after an ugly entrance to Caceres on 24 minutes. If the penalty had stayed in yellow might not have happened, but the gesture of no Turkish player bill was coming in with one foot lifted and swept down with the tacos. It seems that Topal want to avoid contact, but with these entries as you can injure a player. Emery, much criticized by conservative, decided to put another midfielder after losing his defensive midfielder, but multiplied functions Fernandes, who did what he could, and kept at both ends so offensive as Joaquin and Mata and Aduriz and Soldier in tip.

However, following the dismissal of Valencia to Sevilla found the holes that were previously denied and Valencia could not find a way to get the ball to their attacking players. Expulsion was not the only setback for the whole of Emery, as Caesar was injured shortly after having made a worthwhile intervention while on the bench did not expect Moya, deputy injured usual, but Guaita third goalkeeper. Thus, after the break, Javi Varas and novice goalkeepers were Guaita Seville and Valencia after an absence of two war veterans as Palop and Caesar.

In Sevilla, Kanoute exercised pivot on the playmaker on that tilted the game Seville to the little influence from Romaric and Renato in the midfield. Manzano, little aware of the offensive presence of a depleted Valencia, opted to go definitely go to attack by Romaric Negredo, a declaration of intent that he could not do better at Sevilla, as only two minutes later marked the one vallecano Guaita zero error after failing to clear it a shot.

A goal from Negredo Sevilla dominated the clash while Valencia reached the penalty area with some isolated backlash had not borne fruit. Only with the arrival of the second half, really worried Sevilla Valencia's goal after a first half in which he could not find the path to the goal. At the individual level, besides the aforementioned Kanoute include Caceres, Sevilla central. The Uruguayan was unleashed, and that momentum which boasts so many times is your best virtue when going to attack, but also its largest deficit in defense. If Cáceres win in calm and poise could become one of the great power of our league.

As Negredo, another futoitsta clash started on the bench, Alfaro, was responsible for sentencing the match to make it 2-0 on 77 minutes after a cross from Dabo, substitute Konko today. The victory was open for Sevilla, a team that the hallmarks of Manzano teams as the pressure in the attacking football and casual with a quick ball movement are already own. With this result, a surprising Espanyol stays in fourth place while Sevilla and Valencia added seventeen points occupying the two positions that give access to the Europa League, ahead of Valencia on goal difference.
