The club Olympus of your life awaits you Mikel Oyarzabal. If he continues his career at Real Sociedad, the question will be when he will break the records, rather than whether or not he will break them. Even an injury as serious as the anterior cruciate ligament seems to be enough to stop him on his way to leading the records of the San Sebastian club.
Eibartarra has just returned and it is still noticeable that his condition is not 100%, but of the nine times he has added this 2023, he has found the goal twice, although one of them was cancelled. His goal, from a penalty, against Athletic reached his goals to 80 already, without being a striker until this new reconversion, and at only 25 years old, who lost almost a year due to injury, was not bad. Not to say that this is a historical outrage.
projection of the number 1
His numbers are scary for his age. He has 80 goals, averaging 12 per season not counting this one played. He’s within reach of the top 10, specifically one goal away, but it’s not crazy to start valuing him as a future all-time top scorer. If he continues at Real and maintains a similar level, the projection will see him surpass 162 goals for Satrustegui in just six seasons, around 2029 or 2030, still 32 or 33 years old. If his new position as a striker is added to the equation and the increase in goal-scoring is intuited by being closer to the area, the hourglass will empty more quickly. Tick tock, tick tock.
This isn’t the only record ’10’ is after. This other one is further away and has more people ahead, but the famous and historical figure of 599 games of Bixio Gorriz it too may faint before such a sign. oyarzabal He now has 281 meetings with Real Sociedad behind him. That represents an average of 39 games played per campaign since his debut in 2015. He was key almost from the moment he was spotted and was never out of position, until his knee told him enough was enough. He is not in the top 20 on this register, but at his age it is normal that he is not in the 50s or 60s.
If he gets rid of serious injuries and, logically, he will continue at Real for many years, the current projection will take him to the top step of the podium in seven and a half seasons, approximately. In 33 or 34 years. It’s still a long way off, but the current football calendar and the stability of Europe seems to be in Real’s favour.
Little by little, key again
From such damage, not even a person like oyarzabal returns to 100% from one day to the next. Filming will gradually restore him to the squad status he had in March last year, when he was damaged in an incident at For your. To do this, giving him minutes is important, despite the fact that sometimes it costs the team’s football levels and spark.
It happens that the reappearance of ’10’ coincides with the worst moment in terms of injuries for the team, so the minutes are not taken away from anyone in the starting lineup. He plays almost out of obligation. Monday can be from the game, or from the bench like last Sunday, but always with the intention to go one step further. It is unreasonable to think that he can overcome Álvaro Fernández or Pacheco, curious that both are related to the Royal in the past. It was on the very stage where seven years ago he celebrated his first own goal with Real in a stratospheric 0-5 led by eusebius. Six days later, he scored his first double, against Granada. The road to Olympus has begun.
