The resurgence of Lucas Ocampos

Lucas Ocampos played before him Lille one of his best matches in recent times. The Argentine remembered that footballer who impressed in his first season in Spain, when Monchi recruited him as almost a stranger from Olympique de Marseille. Sevilla did not achieve their goal of winning against the French champions, which would have made them jump into group G of the Champions League, but they did leave good news, the improvement of the team in general and of a footballer in particular who those of Lopetegui need to be decisive in attack.

The ‘5’ from Sevilla was voted best player of the match by UEFA coaches, although in the end he was not entirely happy about it. “I would trade the MVP of the match for a victory, because we played a good match again but the ball didn’t go in. You have to keep working.

It fucks us up. It bothers us, because we do things well, we are always there and the goal does not arrive, so we cannot remain complaining and keep trying until the ball enters, “said the Argentine at the end of the match.

Ocampos, Sevilla’s top scorer in the season of his arrival at the club, 19-20, attracted the attention of even the greats of Europe. He made his debut for the Argentine team in a friendly in Germany in which he impressed Messi himself. “With players like Lucas the future of Argentina is assured,” said the ‘ten’.

However, last season his performance dropped, he even lost the train of the albiceleste, since he was left out of the Copa América list. However, in the field he always left everything. His race football, physical and powerful is a guarantee of competitiveness. In Lille he touched the goal on several occasions. He did not succeed but it reminded him of his best days at Sevilla.
