Like last year, the debate of Sevilla FC goal This campaign was not an issue on the table. When Yassine Bono left for Al-Hilal, this was assumed Marko Dmitrović It would be his natural replacement. And it was… but for a short time. The poor overall performance of the team, the poor work in defense and the mistakes of the Serbian goalkeeper himself led him to sit on the bench. This is when Slave Nylandarrived as a free agent, he took over the Sevilla goal. The Norwegian is growing in Nervión and is going through a good sporting moment. In fact, since he arrived in the Sevilla capital, the goalkeeper has doubled his market value.
Del eleven games who participated in this course, four managed to keep a clean sheet. A bad fall during the duel against Espanyol in Cornellà left him in dry dock for several weeks. A loss which, at first, created some uncertainty regarding his replacement Álvaro Fernandez. riojan arrived for Dmitrovic in the last market, Orta repeats the free agent formula, his last destination was Huesca. In the collective memory there are still embers of his last year at Espanyol, from which he didn’t emerge very well.Though, in the seven matches in which he wore the Sevilla shirt between La Liga and Copa del Rey, Riojan kept the goal unbeaten three times.
The mistake against Osasuna
AS, Álvaro Fernández has earned the respect of his people and the only ‘mistake’ attributed to him in recent weeks was against Osasuna, just when Nyland was already facing the last days of recovery. The goalkeeper was not correct in his clearance Header from budimirhappened very close to him. The former Huesca player touched the ball, but too weakly and it ended up in the goal. However, García Pimienta defended him publicly and he guaranteed that, against Atlético madrid, he will field “the one who arrives best”.
Some words that served as motivation for the Riojano, who broke with a very negative trend of Sevilla in the eleven meters. And no red and white goalkeeper had saved a penalty as Bono left. In total,the Sevilla team has accumulated twelve penalties conceded since the summer of 2023. Neither dmitrovic nor Nyland had managed to prevent the goal in this situation. Against Olot,and with the score still tied,the referee came up with a Agoumé penalty on a rival player.It was then that the Sevilla goalkeeper made a real save,with the strength he lacked against Osasuna,and ended up clearing the ball after the rebound. An action that serves to claim his place and that makes it arduous for Pimienta to make a decision in view of next Sunday’s duel.

García Pimienta’s public support for Fernández following the error is essential; it helps foster a positive mindset. For goalkeepers, confidence is paramount. Fernández’s subsequent penalty save against Olot not only reinstated his credibility but also signaled to the coaching staff about his potential. It’s a significant moment for him.
