Sevilla's fourth arrives from Colombia


Carlos Bacca, the hero from Puerto Colombia who stamped bus tickets when he was still 20 years old. He was the hero of Sevilla’s fourth title across the Europa League and UEFA Cup, the king of the kings of Europe, who will play in the Champions League next season. The winner came in minute 73 after a thousand fumbles in a crazy final. His movement, letting the ball run on to his left foot before tucking it away, brought another glory to Sevilla and Emery, who has equalled the legend of Juande Ramos. Again, such as in 2006 and 2007, Sevilla have won two in a row thanks to the talent of a coach who has entered the hearts of the fans and is a cornerstone of a project that has also helped improve Banega, a player whose luck seemed to have deserted him before Emery. At the National Stadium in Warsaw he found a fine and talented player. He was fresh and he was superior, he helped Sevilla build their superiority in the second half.


The final, another precious one, started with a harsh setback for the Andalusians. Matheus, who had previously played against Sevilla in a Champions League qualifying game for Sporting Braga in 2010, got the better of Tremoulinas on the right and whipped over a cross that was started and finished by the Croatian Kalinic. It was cold and ruthless. Two touched were needed, Kolo and Carriço were mocked and the favourites tag that hung over Sevilla was ripped apart. Emery had shown a statement of intent with his starting eleven: Aleix Vidal at right-back and Reyes, Banega and Vitolo playing as the three behind Bacca. It was an attacking line-up and at 1-0 down they were paddling upstream. Sevilla hit back, however, and Krychowiak, on the cover of the daily newspapers in Warsaw, powered a Banega corner towards goal but found the giant hand of Boyko. Two minutes later there was nobody to stop the Polish player as he took advantage of a Bacca pass to make his mark in the National Stadium in Warsaw, a symbol of the strength of the new Poland. Sevilla were in full swing and with Dnipro groggy a pass from Reyes found Bacca and he made things even better for his side with a clinical finish.

And when everything seemed straightforward for Sevilla, Dnipro stirred. Matheus continued to push Tremoulinas back and Konoplyanka hauled him down. Rotan, the leader of his team, stepped up and executed an excellent free-kick that flew into the net. Rico did not move and it was 2-2 at the break. It was an unexpected scoreline from a crazy half, where Dnipro were not so rocky as many expected and Sevilla did not quite know what their role was. They had 61 per cent of the ball but they were less secure than usual. 45 minutes and in the end another epic half.

Emery had to tweak his plan. Konoplyanka started the second half twisting between the lines and Coke came on to replace Reyes, a decision to try and help Aleix Vidal use his energy down the right flank. But by then the game was in the balance. It was 2-2 after 70 minutes and the final could have gone either way. But then came Bacca, who ensured Sevilla their fourth cup. In the morning, at the Regent Hotel in Warsaw, Roberto Alés, the president who started it all when Sevilla was in trouble, said that this team was “the best Sevilla in history, better than the one of Kanouté”. Later he almost broke down in tears, just like the rest of the Sevilla fans after navigating a wonderful story.

LFP judge orders administrative relegation for Elche


Elche CF
this morning received confirmation from the LFP judge, Manuel Rivero that the club is to be demoted to the second division for failing to issue their certificate of positive payment to the Spanish Inland Revenue. Last Friday the club presented an IOU to cover their tax debt which totals 3.6 million euro and agreed a repayment plan with the tax office to facilitate the outstanding debt.
Judge, Manuel Rivero based his decision on the outstanding debts with the tax office and that no guarantees were set in place post July 28 which was the expiry date of the IOU presented by Elche club president, Juan Anguix. The club, now aware of the verdict is planning to exhaust all possible appeal lines open to the club to desperately try and secure their place in the top flight.

This administrative demotion plunges the club into deep trouble as they now desperately need to secure 14 million euro to cover their outstanding debts to pay players, club staff and other businesses who the club holds debts with. A further demotion to 2B is another possibility if they fail to shore up these debts

Emery agrees contract extension with Sevilla until 2017


Sevilla officially confirmed the renewal of coach Unai Emery, with a one year extension to his contract, meaning he’ll be with the club until 2017. The additional year was automatically built in to his contract, being added if the team qualified for European competition, and both sides have agreed to it kicking in.
The coach from the Basque country will be in charge at Sevilla for at least the coming season, however despite the renewal there is the possibility coach and club will part ways next summer, as the contract allows the coach to leave with no penalty in June 2016, or for the club to let him go without paying his extra year’s salary.

The new deal substantially increases the coach’s salary, to around 2.5 million euros a season, making him the best paid coach in the history of the club. After a week of rumours in which both sides made moves that were less than enjoyed by the other party, though both club and coach feel the matter was being blown out of proportion, the deal means peace returns to Sevilla, who can now begin to prepare for next season with one less distraction.

Napoli, Fenerbahce and West Ham all tried and failed to tempt Emery away from the Sánchez Pizjuán, who though he was logically keen to improve his salary, always put his desire to coach a team in the Champions League above anything else. And he’ll do it with Sevilla.


 
Laporte renews until 2019, with 50 million euro buy-out clause



A bold statement from Athletic. The club have reached an agreement with Laporte, their most highly valued player, to extend his contract to June 2019. The new deal sees a revised buy-out clause, which jumps eight million euros to 50 million, the highest in the squad. The new contract ties Laporte to the Basque club for four years, at the same time as the player is the subject of interest from around Europe and here in Spain, with Barça and Madrid both liking the player.

As the player’s solidity and boldness have grown (he’s strong, sensible and talented enough to bring the ball out at his feet) the French left-footer has seen his situation at the club improve. He’s seen his contract improve four times since he signed his original deal.

The new 50 million buy-out clause is a serious disincentive for any interested purchaser. Nobody pays that kind of money for a defender. Not even if they’re called Thiago Silva. There’s only the case of PSG, blinded by the fame of David Luiz. Laporte has said on previous occasions that he’s renewed his deal because he “likes it in Bilbao”. His good relationship with Valverde and the dressing room mean he’s going to spend a significant part of his career in the north of Spain. Laporte turned 21 last Wednesday. “I’m delighted and grateful to the club for this renewal”, said the defender.
 
Luis Enrique gave his press conference before Champions League final, against Juventus





Message for the fans who can’t be there
That they experience it like every game they watch. With excitement and hope.I

Is the backdrop to the game as good as it could be?
Without a doubt. We’ve improved a lot. The team is where it wants to be, on the point of writing a page in history, with the chance of winning a third title.

Do you think the battle will be in the midfield?
It’s one of the key points. That’s where things will be decided, but it wouldn’t be bad to dominate the boxes. But our starting point is the idea of having the ball and imposing our style.
Are you relaxed ahead of the final?

There’s a sense of euphoria among the fans and I’m delighted about that, but we’re facing the game with maximum professionalism. We know we need a good day and we need to repeat what we’ve done to get here.

What type of game do you expect?
I’d like to have more possession than them, to be in their half and playing well, but no doubt we’ll have our difficulties. I don’t think it’ll be a clash of styles because they also need to have the ball. They have resources and that’s why they’re in a position to be able to win a treble.

Iniesta able to play?

In theory yes. We’ll see, but yesterday he trained normally.

Do you expect goals?
Seeing what we’ve seen of the two teams up to now it’s likely. But finals are different. We’ll try and score against them.

Does Vermaelen have a chance, even if just on the bench?
He’s more than ready. He’s had a tough year. My habit is for the players to find out before the press.

What Juventus do you hope to meet?
It doesn’t make sense for me to answer that. I’m not going to give Allegri any clues. There will be various Juves over the course of the match. We’ll see how long each one lasts.

Would a win prove something to Italy?
No. I’m proud of what I did in Italy. I finished my time there and now I coach in Spain.

What final do you think the world expects?
I guess world football hopes for a spectacular, fun and open final.

What does Barça have that Juve doesn’t?
It’s not about comparing. Both are here in the same circumstances and we’ve done our job perfectly.

Do you have trouble sleeping, are you anxious?
No. I’m relaxed and waiting for the game.

Did you imagine this moment arriving after the difficult moments this season?
Over the course of the season you’re subject to criticism and we know that. Did I think about being here? I don’t know. But what I wanted was to be in a position to win titles, and we’ve done that.

What do you expect from Messi?
It wouldn’t be fair to ask him for anything, even though he’s the best in the world. We understand the match from the point of view of the team. It’s obvious that we want everyone to be at their best.

Is this the most important challenge of your career?
No, I hope that’s still to come.

"It's not about who I like more between them. Every
time people ask me I tell them that you just can't
compare them. Ronaldo is more direct, is a pure
scorer. Messi scores a whole lot of goals but he
can also create a ton for others. If I was managing
a team, both of them would be very important but if
I had to choose only one, it would be Messi." :-

enjoy the show." - Zinedine Zidane

whilst watching the game on TV, not ones that you
can normally see on the pitch." - Tata Martino

serious problems." - Zlatan Ibrahimovic

The LFP modifies kick-off times for the new season

The LFP have modified kick-off times for the Liga BBVA 2015/16 season with slight changes to those of recent seasons. On Saturdays, matches will kick off at 16:00, 18:15 and 20:15 hours. The 15 minute delay to the traditional 6pm game has been added on petition of English broadcasters, British Telecom and Sky – (the law states that no games can be broadcast before this time as it would interfere with British domestic fixtures in all divisions, not just the Premier League). Meanwhile, the 22:00 (10pm) game, usually broadcast free-to-air in Spain, could be moved back to the 18:15 slot

On Sundays, kick-off times have been set at 12:00, 16:30, 18:30 and 20:30 hours which means, apart from the midday slot, matches will kick off half an hour earlier than last season. The Monday night slot, will remain, for the moment. at 21:00 hours, as will the slot for the Friday night match.

The opening weeks of the 2015/16 season however will have modified kick-off times due to the hot weather normally experienced during summer. Kick-off times during the first weeks will be 19:00, 21:00 and 23.00 hours on both Saturdays and Sundays, as in previous seasons. The LFP’s intention is to start the new campaign on the weekend of 15 August but the calendar must first be approved by the AFE and RFEF in compliance with Article 44 of the collective convention.
