Silva returns for his world crack privileges

is named David Silva, is one of the active players with the most successful resume that includes a World Cup, two European Championships and a Copa del Rey wearing the txuri urdin and playing for Real Sociedad. At the age of 36, he continues to give a ‘master class’ wherever he goes, so the prediction that he will play tomorrow against Villarreal despite the massive scare he gave on Thursday when he went away represents a comfort and joy for txuri urdin. fans and for his coach, Imanol. The one from Arguineguín, once away from the muscle problems that burdened him, especially in his first year, returns to embrace his best version since his coach established the diamond in the spinal cord after the injury of Oyarzabal last March, now perfected in Brais. And a Silva inspiration is destructive.

This new way of playing provides Silva a greater freedom of movement, considering that he has three good lieutenants behind him, and optimizing his influence on the game. In addition, he is able to move around the area more often, making it easier for his displays to make the final pass and score. In fact, three of his five goals in 67 games at Real have been scored since the system change in March: against Mallorca and Levante in the last leg of the last league and against Sheriff on Thursday.

Spicy fight with the Sheriff

Two days ago, the man from Gran Canaria blew up a game that fell to 0-0. Silva, finally, had the confidence to shoot a free kick from the edge of the area, which was millimeters away from scoring for the top corner, and to find a goal to complete the choral work of art that 0-1, for the top corner. He stepped down to accept the leather in the right back position to start the game.

That goal was the magician’s fifth since he arrived at Real two years ago. These are few for the 67 games he has in the shield of the crowned ball, given his history. At Real he scored a goal every 13 games, but with the national team he celebrated a ‘txitxarro’ every three games, at City and Valencia, one in every five.

What is impressive is his record of services. 37 wins, 14 draws and 16 losses at Real. He won 55% of the games he played, a significantly higher percentage than, for example, the legend Jesús Zamora (46%), who won two Leagues and a Cup.

The alarming drawback

The grancanario received a blow in Moldova that he had to leave the field with so much pain in his ankle. However, despite the disturbing image, as MD found out, the forecast is that he can wear shorts without major inconvenience tomorrow against Villarreal. A hit. Sheet metal and paint.

They dream of their arrangement

David Silva, who will blow out 37 candles next January, ends his contract on June 30. He has never referred to the present as his last campaign, although it is clear that his end, wherever it may be, is more near In Anoeta they lowered their record a bit for this season, but they still dream of seeing him wear the txuri urdin for another season. Because of his magic, because of his power to influence others, to whom he multiplied their value, but also because so far they have failed to find a replacement, both inside and outside the country.

already said Mikel Merino to MD: “I hope he gets cloned”, because it’s hard to convince him. He will decide: “I hope I can continue for many years because, seeing how good he is, physically it doesn’t matter how he is. What he gives us on the field is something that cannot be measured in GPS or expressed in words”. Merino said
