Marcao Texeira was the protagonist of Sevilla FC last Sunday against Real Sociedad, and not exactly for a good reason. The Brazilian center back started with Small Rooms in the face of declines Bade and Nianzou. The technician Xavi García Pimienta He has set himself the firm task of recovering all the players he can from the Nervionense locker room. Carmona or Nianzou They are clear examples of this policy. He is also trying with Marcao and even the Brazilian’s injuries are half respecting him. In addition, the club has named him captain this year with the intention of strengthening his figure after being discarded in the summer. However, it is the player himself who is boycotting his decisions on the field.

Against the San Sebastián team, the centre-back caused a resounding penalty, which eliminated his team’s chances of scoring in one fell swoop. After this, Pimienta decided to replace him, so that was pointed out by the technician…and also for the fans. The stands did not hesitate to whistle at the player at the moment he left the grass, something that left the player very touched, who did not hesitate to show his desolation after the final whistle of the match.

It is not the only game in which Marcao has gone against the interests of his team. The Brazilian was also photographed against Villarreal, in the play that marked the 1-2 for Ayoze. In an apparently harmless ball he threw himself to avoid touching the ball and the rebound fell to the Tenerife native. Against Getafe, they did not have a great match either and their turnovers could have caused the group to lose the three points. This erratic performance has caused the player to sit on the bench again and Nianzou is, today, Badé’s dance partner.

Until after the national team break, Sevilla is not expected to recover its center backs. Hence the importance of a player with the Brazilian’s experience showing his face. Nevertheless, Pimienta is faced with the difficult situation of giving him one more vote of confidence against Leganés or improvise a new center of defense. The Catalan does not have much room for action, he could resort to Gudelj and Kike Salas or pull from the youth team, just as he did against Las Rozas. A risky restructuring after the image offered against Real. He Sevilla FC It needs like eating a solvent and balsamic victory before the league break and recovering strength.
