Sevilla’s goalkeeping battle has begun off the pitch, with Odysseas Vlachodimos and new signing Fran González outlining their intentions during the team’s camp in the Netherlands. According to La Colina De Nervion, the pair offered their first public comments from Garderen.
Vlachodimos’s recent LaLiga registration has been followed by clear ambition. He considers Sevilla the right place for the long term and set himself the immediate target of improving on last season.
He said he had no doubts about returning and framed the collective aim as restoring the club to its level. He welcomed González and stressed the value of forming the goalkeeper group quickly, training together and getting to know team-mates.
González has arrived from Real Madrid determined to push his team-mate. In his opening remarks, he described Sevilla as one of Spain’s top clubs and made clear there was no doubt about his preferred destination.
He praised Vlachodimos for his displays last season and believes he can learn a great deal from him. He also underlined his competitive intent, noting that every player wants to fight for minutes and that he will try to make life difficult for the manager.
Mutual respect now frames an enticing duel for the number one shirt in Nervión next season, while Sevilla continue their planning in the transfer market.
