Not a hint of criticism, just fascination. Villarreal are using Iborra as the guy who gets in behind the strikers, a No10 position if you want to call it that, while HIS natural position, guarding the back four is for Santi Cazorla.

“Bayern know how tough it can be to play Sevilla. “I’m convinced that the match will be very complicated for both of us to cope with. “Bayern are a strong, demanding rival and they are ultra strong at home. “But let’s see whether we can withstand their playing style and impose ours”
Óscar Arias, Sevilla director of football.
Ernesto Valverde
“We scored the goals we merited, they attacked us and got the goal they were looking for which made our fourth very important”
“We’ve played Roberto in front of Semedo a couple of times and because Roma had a really quick, attacking left side of attack we thought about this option”.
Simon Kjaer had the game of his brief time at Sevilla last weekend but faces a bit of a bogey team (and bogey-striker) now that he’s in XI as part of Vincenzo Montella’s tactic to replace Gabi Mercado. The Dane has played FC Bayern three times (for his old club Wolfsburg) and not won. Thomas Müller helped himself to goals in two of those contests. Müller also scored in a win for Germany against Denmark when the two men faced of internationally, nearly six years ago.
No question that with English title domination plus three European Cups/Champions Leagues, Manchester United are the more storied club in this contest. But it’s worth noting that Sevilla’s remarkable UEFA record over the last fifteen years means that they’ve now actually won the same number of European trophies in total - six.
Ready for action. Sevilla airport and the OL bus, driven down on Sunday in preparation for this tie, is sitting waiting for Bruno Génésio and his squad
David de Gea: "This team and this style of play made history "It was great, but we’ll have to keep going in this direction, try to improve and look to the future. "We’ll have to keep working and try to qualify for the World Cup."
Vicente del Bosque told me: "In the first half we were a bit hesitant, we were lacking in confidence and determination. "But in the second half we attacked more. "We weren't dangerous enough but we did better and we might have drawn equal "
No! I HAVEN’T pressed the slo-mo button on my video recorder. Yes! Spain ARE famous for making their Rondos lightning fast - the ball flying like an ice-hockey puck. But this is what they do when they’re fooling around a bit and not yet in ‘ON’ mode.
I'm nervous all the time, I just do a good job of hiding it
Vicente Del Bosque, yesterday
Two Bosses
Both coaches are right now out in their technical areas. Vrba is more active, bobbing around and trying to communicate. Del Bosque just looks impatient for a chance to be converted.
Old school
Ramos. Careful pass to Busquets from his own area. Busquets immediately to Iniesta, a run, a link and a pass and Morata with a chance.
That’s old school Spain style. Quick, smart, dangerous
On? Off?
All game it’s been Limbersky who’s looked the least certain about when and where to hold the line or to advance the line.
Perhaps it’s the prospect of playing an ex winger in Juanfran which is just taking a minuscule amount of his certainty away.
Mebbe we’ll find out after the match which kind of international keeper De Gea is. Most goalies, especially tournament debutants, might have wanted more touches on the ball than he’s had so far. But of course some keepers say: ‘the longer I don’t have to touch it the better things are going’.
Spot on decision by the assistant referee there but what was interesting was that that little wriggling run from Nolito represents why he’s started. He didn’t control it as he wanted first time but worked and jinked until he could make something out of possession and centre for Mortat
Sorry for the constant weather checks on the first day of Spain’s title defence. But following the rain, the brief but lovely sunshine, it’s now not only chilly but very very breezy. You might not be able to spot that on TV but for header and keepers catching the ball it’s a strong enough wind to have an effect
Yo Soy Español
The theme song of Spain’s two previous Euro wins blasting out from behind David De Gea’s goal there. Yo Soy Español….. no more complicated than… ‘I’m Spanish..’ repeat ad infinitum
