It’s time for the truth. Not specifically because today’s match in Vallecas defines the season, but because of the importance of recovering from an important and timely double casualty like Merino and Zubimendi, as well as adjusting to playing without Navarro in the midfield for a few games. Real Sociedad starts today at noon (2:00 pm) in Vallecas the real slope of January. The four victories so far in 2023, and the eight in a row in the history of the club, but the calendar is tight and it is time to visit Rayo, Barça and Real Madrid in eight days, to close the first round of league and the Cup quarterfinals.
The match against the team Andoni Iraola will serve as ‘sparring’, without underestimating one iota the relevance of the clash, for the future commitments of the txuri urdin team. Because yes, there are those who will think that Rayo’s is not that important, but it is not imanol, for sure. It will be a tough test against an aggressive team, players, who look to Europe thanks to the football of the coach of Usurbil, with suffocating pressure and dizzying game.
Eight casualties, new midfield
To counter this, Imanol will not have two columns. The casualties of Merino Y zubimendibeside Guevaraforce the Oriotarra technician to rub the lamp in search of a great new formula with which to surprise, stop the striped transitions and get the ‘ninth’.
You will have less organic options in the first team pieces, because Pacheco shall not be included in the appointment of the league, and zubeldia You won’t be able to advance your position, so all the spotlights are on the captain. Asier Illarramendi He is in the best moment since he came back from his injury. He arrived at his fetish stadium, as he told this medium a week ago, with the clear option of regaining his favorite place: the ‘4’, “to play face to face”, he said. Imanol still doesn’t trust him to play there until now, but this time, he has to do it, except for a surprise triple twist.
Doubt falls on the plot which will most harm, or protect, the mutrikuarra. The 4-3-3 included Silva and Brais the most offensive option comes first. If there is a 4-4-2 rhombus, Marin, Kuboor even Navarro or ‘Maguna’ they can enter. It seems a little early for turrientes. But let’s not leave out the 5-3-2 option, which was already rehearsed in the friendly against Rayo in December.
Silva, Brais and Sorloth: purpose
The realistic goal will have its main representatives. Sorloth, between the cottons, will be looking for a fifth straight league scoring day. He knows how to hurt the squad from the strip, because both in Anoeta’s friendly, with his head, and in the Vallecas game last year, with a left-footed shot from the front, he got wet.
They will definitely help Brais and Silvafixed, like Zubeldia and Le Normand, for the casualties. too hut, who rested against Mallorca. Lefties will command the attacks along with Navarrese o oyarzabalthe big doubt in the eleven, after playing the ’10’ for 90 minutes on Tuesday, despite the fact that he was not there.
