This Friday’s match in Real Sociedad against Real Madrid had a great incentive beyond sports. The San Sebastian club and all its fans paid tribute to a world legend of football David Silva in the run-up to the match, in addition to presenting him with the club’s prestigious gold and diamond insignia. The Canarian was able to say goodbye to his last football home from the green, took a nice ‘toke’, and received the warmth and love of the entire royalist parish.
There was a great desire to carry out the recognition and support the team in the search for the recovery of sensations as a home team. Even the a cappella anthem ‘Txuri urdin’ was sung with more force, and in unison too, than at other times. But before starting the animation, there was a momentary silence as it was time to see a much-loved star in the green of Anoeta one last time: David Silva. The Canarian star jumped onto the Anoeta green at 8:57 pm with his little daughter in his arms although, seeing the deluge, he quickly left her in the hands of club staff so she wouldn’t get wet.
Both Real Madrid and Real Sociedad paid respectful tribute to a European, world, English and, most importantly, Copa del Rey champion with Real. Anoeta gave himself to the cause, which was at the foot of Silva in his last farewell. He was accompanied on the walk by Jokin Aperribay, royalist president, who gave him an emotional hug before placing the club’s gold and diamond insignia on his jacket. Then it’s time to see the magic left hand of the magician from Arguineguín for the last time in Anoeta. He took the kick-off with the detail of passing the ball to his former teammates and friends, as if giving them strength to overcome the challenge that awaited them. He left surrounded by a standing ovation of gratitude from the public, but not before posing with the royalist starting eleven. Now he plays too, although it is from the box.
Van Gogh’s Ears to make a mouth
They will not be many times in their successful career, but this time the famous San Sebastian group La Oreja de Van Gogh acted as the opening act for the recognition of Silva and Real Sociedad-Real Madrid. The famous band performed the classic song ‘Enero 20’ to the delight of the cold and unfilled stadium. Their ‘dipping’ is also delicious.
