The recent victory for Sevilla FC not only provided much-needed relief for the team and its fans but was also fundamental in avoiding relegation spots, especially after Elche's triumph over Valencia. This result has allowed the Nervión side to start the Feria outside the danger zone, although caution prevails, as key figures insist that there are still “seven finals” ahead.
The league calendar presents a pause due to the Copa del Rey final, granting Sevilla FC a 12-day gap between their last match against Atlético de Madrid and their next commitment against Levante. This fixture, scheduled for Feria Thursday at the Ciutat de Valencia, is shaping up to be one of the season's pivotal moments.
For the Madrid-born coach Luis García Plaza, this break is significantly different from the previous one, when he took over the team. On this occasion, he will have the entire squad, including internationals, to intensify training. After three weeks at the helm, the coach already possesses a deep understanding of the group, which will facilitate the implementation of his tactical systems and the correction of errors inherited from the previous stage with Almeyda.
“"We need the entire squad; many are not ready to make two efforts."
These two weeks will be vital for the physical and mental recovery of the players after the exertion of the match against Atlético de Madrid. The ability to work with the full squad, with the exceptions of Azpilicueta and Marcao —who will not be available for the upcoming matches—, will allow the coaching staff to strengthen cohesion and refine their strategy. The recent victory also provides a more favorable environment for addressing necessary corrections.
Preparation is crucial, as after this period, league competition will intensify with two consecutive away games in just three days, where six vital points will be at stake. Sevilla FC will seek to secure a significant haul in these matches to ensure their stay in the top flight and avoid struggles in the final rounds.
