SEVILLA
Keep
Waiting to see how Papu Gómez is evolving, what does seem necessary to comment on is that Sevilla’s game has been diminished with the absence of the Argentine. Just when he was at his best, leading the attacking game, he was injured. Since then, Sevilla have played six games with a fairly negative balance (three draws at home, against Alavés, Rayo and Real Sociedad), two defeats (against West Ham and Barcelona) and only one win, against the English. This season he has played 32 games, in which he has been able to score five goals and provide three assists.
The footballer has already indicated that he will only play again when he is in full condition, even more so when he tried to return early, in the second leg against West Ham, and relapsed: «The last process remains, which is the most difficult, getting well and try to return well so as not to have any more inconveniences.
Perhaps many do not know it, but this was an injury of six or seven weeks and I wanted to come back in two and force myself to be in London against West Ham. It could not be and the body gave me a tug on the ears and asked me for calm. I resented it again and we had to start from scratch«the striker came to comment on Sevilla television.
The Argentine signed for Sevilla on January 26 last year and made his debut a week later, in a duel corresponding to the Copa del Rey against Almería. Papu played 60 minutes and hardly had any problems adapting to the game of the game at the Juegos del Mediterráneo Stadium. With hardly any time to get to know Lopetegui’s game idea, and without the possibility, therefore, of doing at least a mini pre-season, the midfielder was participating without being able to give his best version, as he himself came to admit. A year and a few months later, after increasing his level and knowing Spanish football perfectly, Sevilla needs Papu more than ever.
