Seville: the miracle continues

Monchi tears watered the lawn of the National. "I love you, Seville, I love you!" She cried, redoubling an oath of loyalty these days is questioned, with Real Madrid and Barcelona on the lookout to get the genie. During this prodigious decade of Sevilla, 11 finals, eight titles, there have been many legends, but a splendor has endured since the beginning so far, this has been the Monchi.

"Sevilla is not a miracle. It is a continuous miracle!" Jose Castro, who also have to add in all the glory congratulated stage. On a more minor role at first, as the shadow of José María del Nido before he was jailed. And it is that Seville has also had to overcome problems of all types, including the most dramatic, the death of Antonio Puerta.

But it has been wonderful. "I'll take this cup, because it makes us go down in history, and the first, so unexpected and like the first time because there is no" Monchi confesses. Let us emphasize the unforeseen. That season begins crooked. Joaquin Caparros will take no more and decides to leave the nest. The president choosesJuande Ramos, a coach who took Lopera Betis. On the fifth day, the Sanchez Pizjuan is singing "Del Nido, thief, where the money is!" and "Juande and go." But suddenly, Sevilla starts. Monchi, who a year ago was removed from the sleeve to a certain Daniel Alves, record two strikers in low moments: Luis Fabiano and Kanoute. Both they end up being legends of Seville, just winning season in Eindhoven, sweeping the Middlesbrough (4-0), his first UEFA.

The next season is probably the best in the history of Seville. Wins the European Super Cup by crushing the Barcelona Ronaldinho takes and rewrites Cup Championship title in Glasgow, with Palop hero on penalties. But that was a cost. Expresses Paul White, General fabulous quarry Sevilla ". We busted and we left the League in Tarragona and Mallorca hardly have another chance like this."

Real Madrid is bat in the Supercopa. But the glory days of wine and left hangover. And the tragedy happens. The lateral Antonio Puerta, 22, collapses in a match with Getafe and died days later from heart failure. It is to sevillismo brutal shock. "Since then, it has pushed us from heaven in every final," he recalled these days the captainFernando Navarro.
