The Argentine left-back answered a question from the official media about his injuries with complete honesty.
This Sunday, Sevilla defeated Getafe fairly and added three more than important points in the fight for permanence. Yes, incredible as it may seem, the Argentine team is at the bottom of the Spanish League and needs to add to get away from the red zone. And one of the saviors was Marcos Acuña.
The triumph of this Sunday was suffered, but victory at last. The team led by Jorge Sampaoli won 2-1 and the scorer of the first goal of the match was Marcos Acuña, with a header. Yes, the left side of the Argentine National Team surprised by perfectly connecting a millimeter center of Ivan Rakitic and could shout goal.
This was the first goal for Huevo after becoming world champion, who has played every game with Sevilla since competition resumed at the club level.. However, some doubt his commitment to the team and this was reflected in a post-match interview with the club’s official channel.
In recent months, much has been said about the physical problems that Acuña has. “At some point your commitment to Sevilla has been questioned. What do you have to say about this?“, launched the journalist.
“I wanted to clarify that. Many lies were told about my injuries and I don’t think I had the support of the club. That saddened me a bit because I am a Sevilla player and the club should have gone out to clarify the injury I had. I was always committed to the club“, replied the Egg, without mincing words and with brutal honesty.
More statements from Acuña
The left back also spoke about the game they faced: “In the first half we had to go with more advantage. They had to go out to play, we got behind and it got a bit complicated. We were able to do another one, they did it at the end but we found out hold on and we got a good result”.
Seville began 2023 with two wins, one in the Copa del Rey and another in the Spanish League. However, they still have a long way to go: “We have to keep improving. Things were seen that we have been working on but we have to go ahead with our idea and move this forward all together.”
