Sevilla Struggles Without Star Goalkeeper Bounou, Now Shining in Saudi League
Yassine Bounou is already the best goalkeeper in the Saudi Pro League. The Moroccan goalkeeper of Al Hilal has conceded only 6 goals in 11 matches. Second in the Yashin Award, Bounou is aiming for the 2022 African Player of the Year title, which will be awarded on December 11 in Marrakech at a gala evening.
After winning the Zamora Trophy last season (2021-22) with Seville, Yassine Bounou managed to keep his goal intact five times. But the role of the Moroccan goalkeeper was decisive in Seville’s victory in the Europa League final against AS Roma in Budapest, when he made two saves in the penalty shootout, recalls AS.
This ability of Bounou to make the difference in important matches is now lacking in Seville. Since the departure of the Moroccan international from Nervión, Dmitrovic and Nyland have clearly struggled to meet this challenge. While Nyland has conceded 8 goals in 7 Liga matches and four in two Champions League matches, Marko Dmitrovic shows inconsistency in his performances. Coach Diego Alonso would already be looking for a new goalkeeper for next season.
