[Sport] Sevilla FC: The takeoff of En-Nesyri

[#Steeven.™]

Luuk de Jong has an advantage in Lopetegui's preferences when it comes to choosing his starting striker, but Youssef En-Nesyri has surpassed the Dutchman, at least statistically. The Moroccan accumulates 8 goals in 20 games, in just 966 minutes. He is the top scorer and has twice as many goals as the '9'. De Jong has 4 goals in 19 games (1,016 minutes).

With the Sevilla shirt he has a total of 14 goals in 46 games, his best average to date.En-Nesyri is already the fourth historical top scorer of the Nervionense team in the Champions League, where only Ben Yedder surpasses him with 12 goals. Luis Fabiano with 10 and Frederic Kanouté with 9. The Moroccan made four in the group stage (two against Krasnodar and two against Rennes).

In just over three months, En-Nesyri has already scored more goals than between January and August, but his role is different on the pitch than De Jong does. His signing raised doubts about its value for money and this summer dragged the thorn of the missed occasion against Neuer in the European Super Cup. But it would also have something to do with him being one of the best goalkeepers in the world. En-Nesyri got dark when he faced the rival frame, his faulty controls made the fan desperate, but he has turned the tables. He is an excellent spiker, has venom and excels in the air game. He changed teams in the middle of the season, to a Seville that was fighting for the Europa League, with the obligation to assimilate new concepts and with a lot of room for growth; He is 23 years old.

The Moroccan is used to fighting to win a position. He landed in the Spanish League from the Mohammed VI Academy, specifically in Malaga, when he was 18 years old. During the summer of 2016 he did the preseason with the first team and got a record. His progression was meteoric and although he started as Málaga's front quarter, he continued to break down doors to make a place for himself in the team then trained by former Sevilla player Juande Ramos. He played 41 games in two seasons, scored five goals and gave one assist.

In the summer of 2018, after playing the World Cup in Russia, he was transferred to Club Deportivo Leganés. With the cucumber team he played 53 games until he left for Sevilla on January 16 of this year. He scored 15 goals and gave 4 assists.
