La Real, to sing its ‘ninth symphony’ in Pucela

Let the music never stop playing, even in the ‘pneumonia stadium’. La Real wants to perform this afternoon (4:15 pm, Movistar and DAZN) in Pucela its ninth symphony to touch the sky of the Liga and raise in the same place a hobby that dreams big with the Imanol. The challenge is enormous because there is a triple opponent to overcome: a powerful and big rival like Valladolid, who has just finished goals, a state of worsening exhaustion that is already a heavy backpack and an infirmary that, instead of shrinking, is not stopping. growing over time. There is no truce. No illness. La Real doesn’t want excuses and instead of giants, it sees windmills. It’s a steamroller where, for now, everything works.

Confidence is through the roof. La Real traveled to Castilla y León yesterday with eight straight wins between Liga and Europa League on their trolley, their all-time record. If he reaches nine, in addition to re-establishing himself alongside Barça in second place and consolidating third, he will equal another mark: six straight wins in the League, the ceiling of his history, which has been achieved three times. And if he scores, it will take 11 league games and 15 in total to see the door. crazy

66 hours between ‘match’ and ‘match’

The problem is that he will meet a strong opponent at home who fell to Celta (4-1) on Wednesday and believes in his model and his coach, packet. And in the field where Real has not won the League since 2002. Even the runner-up team who won it all ‘won’ in the pucelana trap (3-0). Six straight draws in Liga with José Zorrilla and seven duels without a win. The Cup six years ago (1-3), including Eusebiuschanged course.

‘General fatigue’ is the other enemy waiting for Real, another head of the monster. 66 hours will pass from the end of last Wednesday’s match against Mallorca to the start of today’s match in Valladolid, which will be the seventh in a run of 13 unbeaten Real have faced before the World Cup. This section of the calendar is particularly unfortunate, featuring four clashes in just 10 days, one every 2.5 days.

Sorloth, doubtful

And when it comes to victims of muscular problems, the new hero is sorlot. His muscles had said enough! He did not train yesterday and it is doubtful. Alone, barrenetxea, Aihen, Cho, Oyarzabal Y Sadiq They are safe casualties, in principle, although Real have not given the call to hide their plans.

Imanol announced rounds to manage efforts, so players want Zubeldia, Illarra, Turrientes, Navarrese Y Carlos Fernandez you can have your choice now. It will be more surprising to see Zubiaurre either karrikaburu.

At Valladolid, who have won just three games out of 11 so far, they are causing a low Ivan Fresneda, yearly, Kennedy Y Luis Perezbut he has great players like Watery, table, silver, Weismann either Sergio Leon. packet He also announced changes to his ‘eleven’.

The stage is beautiful. La Real wants to sing its ‘ninth symphony’. Right now, the Champions music is playing.

Going for another record: sixth in the League

La Real have equaled the most consecutive wins in official matches, with eight they reached on Wednesday after defeating Mallorca and are now on their way to another famous record. This roller is the equipment of Imanol He is now in a position to equal the best historical mark of only consecutive wins in the League, which was six he achieved on three occasions, in the last two seasons ago, between days 5 and 10 of 2020/21, with Oriotarra on the bench. So far, they have five (2-1 against Espanyol, 3-5 against Girona, 1-0 Villarreal, 1-2 against Celta and 1-0 against Mallorca).
