How Almeyda’s powerful team talk set the tone for Sevilla’s statement win vs Barça

[Sahinor]

Before Sevilla’s match against Barcelona, Matías Almeyda gave a speech to his players that really stood out to me.

He told them:

“There are stats that show this team hasn’t won here in ten years. Ten years! There can’t be any more motivation than that! You guys can break that!”

That kind of mentality is exactly what you want from a coach. No overcomplication, just belief, energy, and accountability. He wasn’t just talking tactics; he was challenging them to change history.

You could really feel how much he wanted them to own that moment.

What do you think, is this kind of fire what Sevilla’s been missing over the years?
