Real Sociedad are now enjoying a new long weekend off, the second in three weeks. The incomprehensible break of the league for the Cup final this Saturday caused, on the one hand, that the team was able to train almost completely in Zubieta and with open doors (no tactical preparation and therefore nothing to hide), and on on the other hand, that all football players can enjoy a few days of rest and vacation. Even the international ones, which have not been done for a long time. The team trained this Thursday at 10:00 am for the last time and will not return until Monday, when they will start thinking about Almería.
It will, therefore, be almost four days of rest, to recharge the batteries to face the last stage of the season with guarantees. No more days off or free weekends. In some cases, there won’t be until almost August, between the Euro Cup and the Olympic Games. They will serve to recover hutfor example, to save time on braise and hurry options to see him back in this course or for men like Merino, Traoré or Zubimendi Unload legs full of minutes, trips and matches.
From their holiday retreats they will find out this Saturday whether Athletic’s neighbors lift the Cup or not but, more importantly, whether sixth place gives them access to the Europa League or the Conference. There are eight games left and Real lead by five points over Valencia, seven over Betis, ten over Osasuna and 11 over Villarreal. And they are seven points behind Athletic in fifth and nine points behind Atlético in fourth. There is time and motivation for everyone. First they will face Almería and Getafe, and then they will face the final fireworks with Real Madrid, Las Palmas, Barcelona, Valencia, Betis and Atlético.
