Difficult rank promotion

Hierarchies rule, also in Real. Imanol Bailiff He often prides himself on having all the players active and plugged in, one of the keys to the project, but it’s also true that this season the distribution of minutes has been somewhat uneven. And that Real suffered a plague of injuries, mainly headlines, which forced Oriotarra to give more chances than expected to players from the bottom of the closet, and also to foals. In fact, sometimes Sanse players played more than a few members of the first team.

Real Sociedad have played a total of 39 games so far this season between the League, Cup and Europa League and few players have survived injuries. Is about Alex Remirothe undisputed leader in games and minutes because Imanol only provided the alternative to zubiaurre in the Cup against Cazalegas, and two other football players with less presence.

healthy but sedentary

On one hand, Asier Illarramendi, who gets streaks over time, and is in fourteenth position in terms of minutes with 1,188 but far, almost 600, from the top 11. He was in all the calls and played of 23 games, with 14 starts but a very high ratio of points per game: 2.22. He provided stature, especially inside the 4-3-3 and pivot, but only a bad run of Brace, in addition to injuries to other teammates, allowed him to gain a real status. He started in Rome but didn’t play anything on the way back.

Another ‘unbreakable’ player is robert navarro. Top scorer and opener of the Cup at Real with four goals, and third overall in the team with six, he has almost disappeared from the rotation, and even in warm-ups. He entered all of the season’s call-ups, getting minutes in 25 games, but never reached 1,000 minutes played. And it is that he did not have a minute for seven games, when he had seven against Celta. He showed versatility to play in either scheme, both as a winger, as a midfielder or inside, and even as a striker, and he was praised by Imanol for his daily work in the group and -iisa, in the afternoons. That’s why its little relevance to the team is all the more surprising, especially given the hole in results and offensive freshness Real have been through.

A marked eleven

The eleven types of season are very marked, despite the periods of loss of some of them. remiro (3,420′); Aritz (1,798′), zubeldia (2.345′), Le Normand (2,615′), Rich (2.315′); zubimendi (2,786′, outfield player with most minutes), Merino (2,275′), Brace (2,766′, outfield player with the most caps and titles), Silva (1,714′); hut (2.144′) and Sorloth (2,414′). All of them are over 1,500 minutes and, except Silva and Aritz, over 2,000. Far from others.

The only one in a position to attack him is gorosabel12th on the list, which is due to the damage of Aritz He played a lot despite his discreet performance. Others will be oyarzabal, 17th, but in 12 games it will be very difficult to cut the 900 minute difference. Of course, he was almost 30 minutes away from the beating Navarrese and with the projection that the barrier of 1,000 will soon be surpassed.

In addition to him, there are nine other first-team players who haven’t reached that round number, and many more likely won’t. GuevaraFor example, he has only 710 minutes with seven starts despite the fact that he has given the feeling of recovery to his best version. It has, yes, the best ratio of match points in the first team, except a zubiaurre who just defeated the Cazalegas. His 2.64 is higher than the second classified, which is Aritz with 2.33.

men like Alone, Cho, Barrenetxea, Turrientes or Carlos still behind Paul Marin, subsidiary player, and they hardly help. In the case of turrienteswho played less than KarrikaburuImanol preferred to give the option to olasagasti either magunazelaia sometimes, after a regular start. The bar has been raised, and playing is becoming more expensive, so some have to keep working.
