Don’t be separated

Since the distant June 13, 2010, the day when Real Sociedad, after defeating Celta in Anoeta 2-0, regained the category it lost three years ago, and returned to its natural habitat, the First Division, many something happened. , most of them are healthy, and that has contributed to the growth of the club to the levels it is at today.

That Real Sociedad, led from the bench by Martin Lasarte, and supported from the playing field of Griezmann, Aramburu, Xabi Prieto, Zurutuza and company, closed a dark, difficult, unforgettable period, in any case, in the history of the club. La Real just suffered a kind of identity crisis, because of which, it is legal to question almost everything. The entity needs regeneration at all levels; somehow, hit the bottom, and bounce back.

This reinvention of Real Sociedad, clearly necessary, is almost impossible with the team stranded in the Second Division. Hence the importance of recovering the lost space as soon as possible. This was the third time, after two previous failed attempts, one of which was especially painful. The Uruguayan coach, who has one year left on his contract, will not be satisfied with the results of his work, and will leave the club through the back door, something he does not deserve. But that’s a story for another day. And before leaving us, and as part of his legacy, he left us that wish or warning for all that make up the txuri urdin family, workers, players, management and fans: “Don’t be separated.”

Fortunately, the passage of time has witnessed the stabilization of the entity, accompanied by sporting achievements, perhaps in a completely natural feedback exercise. To this day, the team has achieved an unquestionable level of engagement with its people, which makes this club project an exciting goal, and where we all assume that the the best is yet to come.

THE MARKET IS A LIVING CREATURE

We all remember the words of Real Sociedad’s director of football regarding the ability of the football market to change, motivate and be active, from one moment to the next. With only a few hours left before the closing of the winter transfer window, which was supposed to be calm and quiet for Real Sociedad, it ended up being a bit nervous and shaky. Obviously, you always have to consider imponderables; So, few can suspect that Momo Cho He will present the club with an almost irresistible offer to leave Real Sociedad, which will force the recruitment unit to act quickly to plug the leak that has been created. and it came Sheraldo Becker, from the Bundesliga. What is more difficult to predict is that the two tenants on the left side of the defense have been injured for three days. and it came Javi Galanfrom our “dear enemy”, Atlético de Madrid.

We are keeping our fingers crossed that no more negative incidents will occur between now and the market close, as I am convinced that Robert Olabe I would prefer that his axiom did not gain so much popularity.

THE NUMBER IS NOT IN A HURRY

Mikel Merino continues to be a major concern of sports management, no matter how many messages sent in this regard are intended to be reassurances. The fact that the Navarrese footballer has not extended his relationship with Real is still bad news. Nothing happened to cause concern, but nothing, or very little, happened that was desirable.

IT IS FORBIDDEN TO ENTER

The defensive figures the team signed, incl Remiro breaking unbeaten records and having a defense axis consisting of real titans like Zubeldia and Le Normand, They make Real one of the most reliable squads, as their defensive solvency has the virtue of making good all that is achieved in attack. The hallways leading to Remiro They are closed tightly.
