Sevilla Goes International
By: Anthony | March 29th, 2009
I don’t understand why everyone hates international break, personally I love it. I don’t know if it’s because my beloved country are reigning European Champions and they just defeated Turkey yesterday in perfect fashion, or maybe it’s because our squad at Sevilla is so stacked with international talent and it’s fun to see them not only dominate here, domestically in La Liga but also for their respective countries.
This weekend was an a good one for Sevillistas in general. Kanouté, Dragutinovic, Romaric, and Sebastién Squillaci were all on international duties with thier respective countries and all played a major part in the games they were involved in.
Kanouté scored in the 19th minute for Mali in their 1-1 draw against Sudan, further continuing our striker’s amazing form for club and country.
Romaric scored the opener in Cotê d’Ivoire’s 5-0 romping of Malawi. It’s good to see Romaric get on the scoresheet after his recent hard work with us in Nervión, he’s definitely progressing well and showing signs of just why Monchi signed him.
Defender Ivica Dragutinovic played the full 90 minutes for Serbia as they defeated Romania 3-2 in a pretty close encounter. Fellow defender Sebastién Squillaci also played the full match for his native France as he paired up with William Gallas at centre-back and shut out Lithuania 1-0 with Bayern München star Franck Ribéry grabbing the winning goal.
So overall, our boys on international duty performed extremely well and this just proves what a solid squad we have at Sevilla. Since none of our players were on the wrong end of their international score lines they will hopefully come back with more confidence and help us to push on next weekend when we travel to Huelva to take on Recreativo.

I actually really liked Squillaci for France. I never rated him much before, probably just because he’s not Thuram. But then nobody is. But since Thuram, we’ve been alternating between Mexes and Abidal and Boumsong, and suddenly Squillaci is looking so…so…stable.
Has he been doing well for you guys?

He started the season very shakey and it took him a few games to adapt to La Liga but man has he ever impressed me. I think if he can pick up the language and stay around long enough he’ll be the future captain, no problem. He’s just a solid defender and a great leader on the pitch.
