Antonio Cordón's sporting planning at Sevilla FC is the subject of intense debate due to the inconsistency and progressive loss of prominence of almost all his signings. The director from Extremadura has had to maneuver in a context of extreme economic precarity, but his new additions are not performing at the expected level.
The management of Sevilla FC's signings during the Cordón era has left a balance with many more shadows than lights. According to Marca newspaper, most of the seven players brought in by the director, including Maupay, Mendy, Alexis Sánchez, Azpilicueta, Fabio Cardoso, and Suazo, have seen their importance diminish as the season progressed.
With the exception of the Greek goalkeeper, Odysseas Vlachodimos, the rest of the sporting director's bets are not managing to make the necessary difference to move the team away from the danger zone. Practically all the players who arrived to provide a leap in quality have shown a downward trajectory or one marked by inconsistency.
Odysseas Vlachodimos is the only figure who escapes this poor dynamic. The Hellenic goalkeeper has played almost every minute, and his level has been so decisive that, despite the group's defensive fragility, he is already nominated for best goalkeeper in LaLiga. Without his interventions, the league standing in Nervión would be much more critical today.
This situation has led the team to rely on the energy of its academy players, which, despite their effort, is not enough to compensate for the poor performance of the signings. The season is entering its decisive phase, and the lack of impact from Antonio Cordón's "men" is taking its toll on the Sevillian club.
