Sevilla and Palace Thrill Large Crowd at Comerica Park

Beautiful weather. Larger than expected crowd. High intensity game. Superb work by the Comerica Park grounds crew. It all added up to a terrific evening to showcase soccer in the Motor City. Crystal Palace of the English Premier League and Sevilla FC, the current Europa League champions from La Liga, delivered an entertaining game between two teams ramping up for the start of another busy European campaign.

A crowd of 21,178 filed into Comerica Park attired in a wide range of gear from hometown Detroit City FC to Lionel Messi jerseys to a full section of red and blue clad Crystal Palace supporters. The Palace fans had sufficient numbers to run through a number of songs that will certainly be heard at Selhurst Park during the upcoming season. 

Normally, these preseason friendlies are somewhat tame affairs where the players are simply working on fitness and avoiding injuries. Crystal Palace and Sevilla set an early tone of physical play with a crunching challenge by Sevilla’s veteran defender Nemanja Gudelj on Palace’s budding star Eberechi Eze. The Palace number 10 looked like the best player on the pitch and received a number of hard tackles throughout the game. Gudelj was eventually sent off for a second bookable offense against the same player ten minutes from the end.

At the times the action threatened to escalate to more serious confrontations. Sevilla manager Jose Luis Mendilibar liked the intensity, “We are a couple of weeks from starting, so at this point we should be playing at the level of intensity required to start the season”, he told the press after the game. His team started well and were rewarded with an excellent goal before halftime. 

Palace failed to clear a corner and the ball bounced to Croatian international Ivan Rakitic. The midfield leader struck a thunderous volley from a narrow angle that smacked the inside of the far post on the way into the net. Palace goalkeeper Sam Johnstone barely flinched before the ball whistled by him. Replays on the big scoreboard brought more “Oohs” and “Aahs” from the crowd. Sevilla went in at the break worthy of their 1-0 lead.

During the second half Mendilibar made use of his bench, bringing on a few substitutions during the course of the second 45, but Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson elected to play his starters the entire 90 minutes. When asked after the game, he replied simply, “They need the work.” Given that Palace had much the better of the second half, the team justified his decision. Hodgson said there was “Nobody on the bench we needed to see. This is the first time that we have put out a team that might resemble the team to start the season.”

A group of people playing soccer

Eberechi Eze, an England international, continued to attack from his position behind center forward Odsonne Edouard and lit up Comerica Park with a number of clever flicks and tricks on the ball. You could feel the crowd sit or stand a little more at attention when he was on the ball. He also gave Sevilla taste of his full potential to score the equalizer. After cleverly dribbling through three lunging defenders, he coolly slid the ball between the legs of goalkeeper Mark Dimitrovic to make the score 1-1. A quick sudden death penalty kick tie breaker at the end of the game was resolved when Rakitic scored and defender Joachim Anderson hit the crossbar, giving Sevilla the Motor City Cup trophy on the night.

The Sevilla manager appreciated the opportunity to win a trophy, saying that getting results instills confidence in the players. Hodgson said, “I’m optimistic that if we play as we did tonight, against such a quality opponent, that we can have a good start to the season.” He went on to point out that he has lost five first team players during the summer and only brought in one, so he has concerns about the depth of his team; that included a pointed comment that the chairman and the board haven’t given him enough resources yet.

A group of people playing soccer

Both managers expressed their appreciation for the crowd and the setting in Detroit. Mendilibar said, “We were impressed and surprised by the atmosphere. We don’t usually experience that in preseason games in Europe. The players really enjoyed the game.” Hodgson, who took a couple minutes to reminisce about leading Switzerland at the Silverdome during the 1994 World Cup said he “would have no hesitation to come back if invited.” He went on the praise the welcome he and his team received at Comerica Park and during training at Oakland University. He also had a great compliment for the Comerica Park grounds crew saying, “We weren’t sure what to expect coming into the game. The pitch played better than we thought it would given the difficulties of converting from baseball to soccer.” 

Given the praise heaped upon Detroit and the stadium by both Sevilla and Crystal Palace and the unexpectedly large crowd for two teams that don’t typically move the needle, perhaps there will be more opportunities to bring in preseason games in future years. Let’s hope that with the Copa America, World Club Cup and FIFA World Cup coming to the US during the next three summers that Detroit isn’t left out of the action.

El Sevilla Y El Palace Maravillan A La Multitud En El Comerica Park

Clima hermoso, más personas de las esperadas, un partido extraordinario y un excelente trabajo del equipo de mantenimiento del parque. Todo se sumó a una excelente noche para exhibir el fútbol en Motor City. Crystal Palace de la Liga Premier de Inglaterra contra Sevilla FC los actuales campeones de la UEFA Europa League, se encontraron en un partido amistoso mientras se preparan para el comienzo de otra ajetreada temporada.

21.178 personas llegaron al Comerica Park vestidos para representar a su equipo favorito, desde el Detroit City FC de su ciudad natal hasta camisetas de Lionel Messi y una sección completa de seguidores del Crystal Palace vestidos de rojo y azul. Los fanáticos del Palace cantaron una serie de canciones que seguramente se escucharán en Selhurst Park durante la próxima temporada.

Normalmente, estos amistosos de pretemporada son partidos relajados en los que los jugadores simplemente trabajan la condición física, evitando lesiones; pero el Crystal Palace y el Sevilla establecieron un tono de juego físico con un desafío contundente del veterano defensor del Sevilla, Nemanja Gudelj, contra la estrella del Palace, Eberechi Eze. El número 10 del Palace se posicionó como el mejor jugador de la cancha y recibió una serie de duras entradas a lo largo del partido. Gudelj finalmente fue expulsado por una segunda amonestación contra el mismo jugador, a diez minutos del final.

En ese momento, la acción amenazó con escalar a confrontaciones más serias. El técnico del Sevilla, José Luis Mendilibar, valoró la intensidad: “Estamos a un par de semanas de empezar, así que a estas alturas deberíamos estar jugando al nivel de intensidad necesario para empezar la temporada”, dijo a la prensa tras el partido. Su equipo empezó bien y fue recompensado con un excelente gol antes del medio tiempo.

El Palace falló el lanzamiento y la pelota rebotó en el croata Ivan Rakitic. El líder del medio campo hizo el disparó desde un ángulo estrecho que golpeó el interior del segundo poste en el camino hacia la red. El portero del Palace, Sam Johnstone, apenas se inmutó antes de que le pitaran. Las repeticiones en el gran marcador trajeron más “Oohs” y “Aahs” de la multitud. El Sevilla entró al descanso digno de su 1-0 de ventaja.

Durante la segunda mitad, Mendilibar hizo uso de la banca, con algunas sustituciones durante el transcurso del segundo tiempo, pero el técnico del Crystal Palace, Roy Hodgson, eligió jugar con sus titulares los 90 minutos completos. Cuando se le preguntó sobre el juego, simplemente respondió: “Necesitan el trabajo”. Dado que Palace estuvo mucho mejor en la segunda mitad, el equipo justificó su decisión. Hodgson mencionó “no había nadie en el banco al que necesitáramos ver. Esta es la primera vez que presentamos a un equipo que podría parecerse al equipo real al comienzo de la temporada”.

A group of people playing soccer

El inglés Eberechi Eze, continuó atacando desde su posición detrás del delantero Odsonne Edouard e iluminó al Comerica Park con una serie de inteligentes movimientos y trucos con el balón. Podías sentir que la multitud prestaba un poco más en atención cuando él tenía la pelota. También le dio a probar al Sevilla todo su potencial para marcar el gol del empate. Después de pasar hábilmente a través de tres defensores que se abalanzaban, deslizó con frialdad el balón entre las piernas del portero Mark Dimitrovic para lograr el 1-1. Un rápido desempate de penalti de muerte súbita al final del juego se resolvió cuando Rakitic anotó y el defensor Joachim Anderson golpeó la portería, dando al Sevilla el trofeo de la Copa Motor City de la noche.

El entrenador del Sevilla agradeció la oportunidad de ganar un trofeo y dijo que obtener resultados infunde confianza en los jugadores. Hodgson dijo: “Soy optimista de que si jugamos como lo hicimos esta noche, contra un oponente de renombre, podemos tener un buen comienzo de temporada”. Continuó señalando que ha perdido a cinco jugadores del primer equipo durante el verano y solo trajo uno, por lo que le preocupa la profundidad de su equipo; eso incluyó un comentario mordaz de que el presidente y la junta aún no le han dado suficientes recursos.

A group of people playing soccer

Ambos entrenadores expresaron su aprecio a los aficionados y el escenario en Detroit. Mendilibar dijo: “Quedamos impresionados y sorprendidos por el ambiente. No solemos experimentar eso en los juegos de pretemporada en Europa. Los jugadores realmente disfrutaron el juego”. Hodgson, quien se tomó un par de minutos para recordar cómo lideró a Suiza en el Silverdome durante la Copa del Mundo de 1994, dijo que “no dudaría en volver si lo invitan”. Continuó elogiando la bienvenida que él y su equipo recibieron en Comerica Park y durante el entrenamiento en la Universidad de Oakland. También tuvo un gran elogio para el equipo de mantenimiento de Comerica Park, diciendo: “No estábamos seguros de qué esperar al comenzar el juego. La cancha estuvo mejor de lo que pensábamos, dadas las dificultades de convertir el béisbol en fútbol”.

Dados los elogios sobre Detroit y el estadio tanto por parte del Sevilla como del Crystal Palace y la multitud inesperadamente grande para dos equipos que normalmente no mueven la aguja, tal vez haya más oportunidades para traer juegos de pretemporada en años futuros. Esperemos que, con la Copa América, la Copa Mundial de Clubes y la Copa Mundial de la FIFA en los Estados Unidos durante los próximos tres veranos, Detroit no se quede fuera de la acción.
