A matter of priority

Real have goal problems this year is something that is obvious. It is enough to review the team’s data so far this season; even those imanol They occupy the third position in the qualifying table, they are only eighth in the list of directors, surpassed by teams like Rayo or Girona, which, logically, should be clearly at the bottom.

On only two occasions did Real manage to score more than two goals -obviously we left out two games in the Cup-: the first in Girona, in an absolutely crazy game, out of control and that could have been even more annoying . And the second in a Europa League match against Sheriff’s Moldovans, a clearly inferior formation.

If we look at the last seven official matches -we continue to do without the Cup-, with the exception of the 0-2 against Omonia, the rest of the commitments revealed remarkable difficulties in finding a goal for our forwards , even in Pizjuán, playing against nine more than an hour.

La Real started the season with four particular forwards, although each had their own particular backpack. On one hand, madikthe signing of bells to make up for the absence of Isaac, the main goalscorer for three years. Well, the Nigerian came and broke as soon as he landed… and for the whole season. It’s over Sorloth, played after his good finish last season. with damage of madik, all the responsibility rests on his broad shoulders, and the truth is that few can blame him. is also Carlos Fernandez, who after spending a blank campaign, tackled this one with the clear aim of making up for lost time. No, it’s water again, because the Sevillian is relapsing. And we are left with the source of the quarry, personified by Karrikaburuwith a few more miles to go.

Conclusion? Very simple: imanol It was very, very short of artillery and, waiting for the return of oyarzabal And from his behavior, Oriotarra has a problem on the table.

‘The Count’ does not attend the party

This is not a romantic novel to give to your partner for their holidays, but simply proving a fact, Mikel Merino, ‘the count’, will not attend the big party organized for the end of the year at the Reale Arena, with ‘his’ Real as the host and ‘his’ Osasuna as the guest of honour. Obviously both teams will experience it with different values: bad news for imanol and a relief for Arrasate. The man from Iruñea, who has played almost everything this season-again-, will be suspended due to suspension, thus creating a headache for his coach, who will have to do without one of his most important pieces in the match closes the year Merino is then remiro Y Bracethe Real player who has amassed the most titles, with a total of 18, showing the immense confidence he gives him imanol, as its contest, according to numbers, lower than the main one. To this is added the fact that Merino cannot measure himself against the team where he was trained in football and where he took his first steps, the team from his land. I imagine that MichaelFrom the moment he was told in Pizjuán, he began to assess what it meant. ‘The Count’ will not be attending the New Year’s Eve party

In good company

The end of the year is approaching, and the Reale Arena has scheduled a finale with a luxurious poster: a promising Real-Osasuna. The matches between Realistas and Rojillos always give a special aroma, because regardless of football, with the ability to develop players, the atmosphere in the stands and in the streets adjacent to the stadium is always exceptional. That is why one always feels, here and there, in good company.

leave to grow up

Jon Karrikaburu This is, without a doubt, one of the most exciting prospects before the Zubieta quarry in recent years; However, its irruption, assumed to be meteoric, has been partially blocked in recent weeks, to the point where some have predicted that Elizondo’s will not arrive. It is because of that Karrikaburu He will be forced to flee temporarily in search of that experience which, for now, the Real denies him.
