BACK AT THE RAMÓN SÁNCHEZ-PIZJUÁN ON THE EVE OF EL GRAN DERBI

13/03/2021

Julen Lopetegui led the final session ahead of the derby at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán

In other circumstances, it would have all been very different. The Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán was empty, just as it will be tomorrow, unlike on the eve of other derby matches, where the Sevillistas would turn up in their thousands to give their heroes one last push. The current situation, of course, does not allow for that, meaning the team trained at the stadium on Saturday morning and are only focusing on giving joy to the fans, who will have to watch the match on the television.

As you could see early on in the session, which was open to the media and broadcast live on Sevilla FC Television, the main news was the participation of Diego Carlos and the absence of Lucas Ocampos. However, the manager did not want to give any clues about his squad or line-up, and confirmed that decisions will be made tomorrow, based on the intensity of recent matches.

Although the fans could not attend the session, the team received support from a number of people, such as President José Castro, Vice President José María del Nido Carrasco, who also spoke to the club's official media, as well as Monchi, Fernando Navarro and Emilio de Dios from the sporting management.
