Tuesday in Nervión
By: Ryan | April 15th, 2008After Sunday’s 3-2 win against Mallorca Sevilla now sit 3 points behind Atlético for the coveted 4th place in La Liga, and more importantly the last Champions League spot. Isaiah gives the rundown on Sevilla’s last 6 games in La Liga, and I’ll go into a bit of the preview later on this week.
Luis Fabiano Blows Up, Calms Down
The new talk on the block is about the whole Luis Fabiano blowup on Sunday. For those of you who didn’t hear, Luis Fabiano was none to happy about being subbed off at halftime in the win against Mallorca. Fabiano said after the match that he would rather sit on the bench then be subbed off during the game.
Well, needless to say that didn’t sit well with most of the sevillistas, especially Kanouté who came out against Fabiano saying he would need to get used to it if this happened.
Today, on El DesMarque, Renato spoke for the entire team, saying ‘Luis talked with us and to the coach and everything is fixed.’
In AS today, in a article entitled ‘Jimenez and Luis Fabiano, obligated to make up’ LuFa was quoted as saying ‘Everything is fixed. There’s nothing more to talk about.’
This isn’t the first time LuFa has spoken out against Sevilla ‘misters’. He gave Juande Ramos some stick when he sat the bench a few games during his reign in Sevilla. But, it always ended with a sit down, and an a-ok.
I for one am glad this didn’t escalate AND that it’s apparently all water under the bridge.
Argentinian Sevillistas Arrive in Sevilla
In case you didn’t know (and I’m sure most don’t) Sevilla have a school in Argentina, called ‘la Escuela de Fútbol Tucumán Ramón Rodríguez Monchi’ (named after my FAVORITE Sevillista, Monchi).
3 months ago, 2 players from Tucuman were chosen to come to Sevilla and have their chance with the club, see the city, meet the players, and take it all in (even La Feria).
(Here’s a picture of the che’s upon their arrival in Sevilla.
Injury Updates
Renato will make his return to the squad this weekend against Almeria after being out with a strained calf muscle.
Escude will still be out against Almeria with a variety of injuries
Dragois out as well with still problems with his right leg (at least from what I can remember)
Kanouté is banged up after last weekend’s game, but will be back.
Chevantón is still out after having surgery on his left knee over a month ago.
That’s all for now Sevillistas, I’ll see you on Thursday with some new information.
PS Diego Capel is NOT going to Real Madrid, in case you all were wondering! =)

The likelihood of Diego Capel going to Madrid looks so dim from where I sit (across the Atlantic) because he’s just not there yet. He’s a fantastic player, but he’s got more potential than actual output at this point (something that will change in the coming year, I think) and Real Madrid doesn’t go for the real up-and-comers, but rather the proven commodities.
So give it a year and there’s a shot, but even then, I don’t think he plays the way Real Madrid sees themselves as playing.
Other than that, Sevilla is going to be in the CL again, I think, but they’ll probably lose “LuFa” to someone in England over the summer thanks to TV money…(boo hiss)
