Almeyda Explains Shocking Bench Decision for Star Forward Akor Adams
Sevilla manager Matias Almeyda has revealed why he left top scorer Akor Adams out of the starting XI against Valencia. Adams had seven goals and three assists in 23 appearances this season, yet Almeyda handed the starting role to Neal Maupay in a tactical switch. Valencia took a 2-0 lead by halftime, and Adams was unable to change the game after entering just before the break. In his post-match comments, Almeyda said he wanted to assess all his striking options following Adams’s dip in form against Barcelona. Adams, meanwhile, praised his recent Africa Cup of Nations outing for Nigeria, calling it a privilege that boosted his confidence.
