A nobility test in Ibrox Park
More than two years have happened but the city keeps on being the same and essentially the Seville also. True it is that neither Juande Ramos, nor ill-fated Antonio Puerta is already, neither incombustible Daniel Alves … But the Seville keeps on being above, respectable candidate for everything what it plays, with an accurate project philosophy and in turn effective, in that the names, something demonstrated in the last years, are much underneath of the team in themselves.
The set of Nervion returned this Monday to a special city that granted high glory doses to him. Glasgow, since it usually does with all his visitors, received to the Andalusian expedition with the gray sky and thin drops of water, almost imperceptible but constant, what has not prevented the team of Manuel Jiménez from having the first capture of contact with Ibrox Park, a stadium with delight, on horseback between what some day was the soccer and what really is. Ibrox is affectionate, he impresses to see his structure raised by means of ancient bricks, combined in his high parts with the most modern of the engineerings. His entrails are labyrinthine and the wood in all places gives a certain warmth touch. It is not the nineteenth-century stadium of the Fulham, but he lacks little. Undoubtedly, a field in which it likes to play the ball.
The Rangers is the rival of the sevillistas. In Nervion there are motives for the optimism, the team is packed, despite the rotations that his technician applies. The thing has good face and the smiles between the members of the staff it is a common keynote. The one that supports the tense rope, as always, he is José Maria of the Nest, who makes use of every moment to motivate his men and to remind to them the great thing that exists in game. To win in Ibrox would be a giant step for those of Jiménez, because they would be thrown like the first of group towards the end eighth ones. Am there that the proper trainer has said that the Sunday party before Madrid does not exist until Wednesday.
Nevertheless, undeniably, the whole world realizes that the shock before the meringues implies something more than three points. The good vibrations that the sevillistas are waking up must be confirmed before the difficult one, in what to results it concerns, I combine of Pellegrini. It will be a shock that it will elucidate if the Seville truly is qualified to try to do shade to two giants, done, for that he writes, improbably, for the colossal budgets difference. That’s why it seems impossible to think that in Glasgow an authentic one will be seen eleven of gala.
The reader will think that perhaps the Rangers should divide with advantage in this aspect, because it can center to the maximum on the shock, without rotations nothing that should not even look alike, but it is not the case. This weekend the Protestants measure themselves before the Celtic and for this meeting nobody keeps at all … Obviously, those of Ibrox, inevitably, will jump to the field thinking about what they have in a few days, perhaps more than they face in his present. The good sense in the psychological of both teams might transform in a factor decisive to decide the contest.
The shock, undoubtedly, promises to be exciting. In Scotland it is already lived by intensity, not only for the fans of the rival nervionense but for his many detractors. It does not create the one that this post reads that the Rangers only is detested by the fans of the Celtic … If of something they can presume, and in fact they do it, the followers of the current Scotch champion, it is of being the most hated set of the country. In Scotland, everything the one that is not of the Rangers, he detests it, without necessary being a fan of the Celtic … It Is a case very similar to that of the English Millwal. In this climate of adverse fervor and support in the streets for those who avoid the colors of his rival, it is going to be played by a Seville, which on the role is favorite. The Andalusian set wants to return him the currency to his opposite, which took him down, in a qualifying round splashed with violence, with the Cup-winners’ cup of l963. The biggest danger is in the propulsion of Ibrox, which keeps on being, like so many decades ago, terrifying … But the big teams are those that can get over to the scenic fear, hence to that this meeting for the Seville is a real test of the cotton and nobility, as well as a marvelous possibility to swell up of mulberry tree facing Sunday.
