I think I remember writing last week, on the occasion of the decision Jokin Aperribay to run again for election for a new term at the head of Real Sociedad, which, one of the president’s reasons, in addition to those he himself recognizes, is to enjoy the results of his own work over the past few years . It would not be fair that one of the main people responsible -perhaps the most decisive- for the revival of the club in the last decade, was deprived of reaping the dividends of his extraordinary management, because, as we also pointed out in article noted, “the best is probably yet to come.”
To this day, no one knows the ceiling of this team that never ceases to amaze, raising the bar every day.
At first, that team, because of its flamboyant, daring proposition to the game, attracted locals and strangers alike. But he lacked the point of maturity, which prevented him from rounding off the task at decisive moments, something that was shown mainly in Europe. It was in those days, when those imanol Squads like United have been measured, seeing the team’s competitive deficit in several major commitments. But now, things seem to have changed. The team is not always brilliant, it does not always dazzle with its football, but, and this is the great development, almost always wins. In other words, this Real wins even if it is not Real,… or maybe it is, but in different versions of itself, which becomes an enrichment of its particular soccer theorem.
Last Sunday, without going further, Real struggled to like it, but it didn’t take long to break the locals’ resistance with a few minutes of inspiration. And this is, undoubtedly, good news: the Real is increasingly reliable, both when it becomes more recognizable and when it departs from its most recognizable patterns.
WIN ATHLETICS… AGAIN
That the derby against Athletic is one of the most anticipated matches of the year, both for Realzales and for Athleticzales, is something that at this point does not deserve further comment.
That three points at stake is more than three points is also not disputed. Real Sociedad has always discussed Athletic’s hegemony in Basque football throughout its history, with better or worse arguments, depending on the moment in which each club lives.
And what is also not debatable is that the current moment is one of the sweetest for the people of San Sebastian, gathering praise wherever they go, and sowing colonies of fans behind them.
Real Sociedad has always seen how to beat Athletic, perhaps because at times it feels smaller. It is true that the history of the other side of the A-8 may overwhelm some, but the realists have grown in the last decade, to the point of establishing themselves as a serious alternative to the greatest of the national league championships.
Defeat at Athletic, once again, was nothing more than the confirmation of a winning streak, which Real Sociedad aims to continue over time. That’s why it’s so important to beat Athletic… always.
NO, NOT AGAIN!
It seems that they will not disappear from our lives, and are still determined to torment us. The usual undesirables reappeared on Logroño cup day to spoil an otherwise perfectly festive day. We’ve said it dozens of times: you’re completely expendable, and, with luck, maybe, you still have time to turn yourself into something useful.
A LITTLE CLOSER
A few weeks ago the panorama created by the team’s injury list was bleak.
