It is clear that the Gipuzkoan capital is not the capital of Piedmont, but that, far away but not yet forgotten, on February 18, 2021, they want us to believe that it is, at least for about two hours.
It was the time of the pandemic, and La Real was forced to play at home in exile in Italy, because the Spanish government did not allow flights from the United Kingdom to land. It didn’t start well, but it will end worse, because the team then led by Solskjaer committed one of the greatest humiliations suffered by txuri urdin in recent history. Such was the superiority shown by the Old Trafford Red Devils that, almost from the 60th minute, we thought of nothing but the end of the match. Manchester exposed Real’s shortcomings with all the brutality that football can sometimes display. ‘Men playing against children’ is one of the most used expressions at the end of that unequal battle.
The soullessness of the stage with a capacity for more than 40,000 fans, completely empty, added a ghostly point to that function.
A year and eight months later, both heroes face each other again, again in Real as a local, but this time, really, that is, protected from their people, in all the papers sold, and we trust that there well learned. .
It is true that the stars have changed on both sides, but the McTominays, Maguires, Fred, Rashford, Bruno Fernandes, etc.
I mean the references remain, and the grievance suffered on that fateful day has not been addressed. That the royals do not forget and appreciate an atonement for what happened on the accidental February 18, 2021 at the Juventus Stadium, a strange day where Real played at home… In Turin.
The 28th, the 32nd, the 36th, the 42nd…
We don’t sing any bingo, although it seems that way. These are the numbers of some of the players of Real Sociedad, whose common denominator is their position beyond number 25 in the list of players under Imanol, or what is the same, ordinary footballers with a subsidiary file but the presence is close to the first team.
When in the last games, already advanced in their development, the Real coach looks at his bench looking for a necessary revulsion, he often finds players wearing numbers similar to those mentioned above, and that means that we have a problem. And starting from the basis that, where they are, it is because they are in a position to contribute, we cannot ignore the fact that the coach is forced to use options number twenty-six, twenty-seven, twenty-eight or twenty-nine, in the order of spread established by the technicians when creating the template at the beginning of the season.
Circumstances are what they are, and there is no other way than to deal with them in the best possible way, but not forgetting that they hide an indisputable truth at this point in time.
Hell for demons
Everyone knows that hell is the natural abode of demons, and tomorrow, Thursday, a delegation of the lord of darkness visits Anoeta, dressed in red and coming from the distant islands of ‘Perfidious Albion’. It is that tomorrow Anoeta will be a cauldron, a hell, but absolutely hostile -in sporting terms, of course- for the ‘red devils’ of Old Trafford.
other notice
On Sunday against Betis, we once again confirmed the presence of ultra fans of the Andalusian team and Atlético de Madrid. These characters continue to gain popularity that no one can explain. These people, who have repeatedly shown their aversion to elementary standards of civility, are superfluous, they are completely expendable. What do they paint on the stands of a stadium?
