Imanol could not pay that bill

WHEN talking about basketball, Real is almost obliged to ask for a time-out, try to stop time, reorganize ideas, and design a strategy before continuing to play. There have been so many incidents that have occurred around the first team in recent weeks that it is absolutely impossible to assume and manage them naturally, as if they never happened.

But, above all, there is a moment when the alarms go off, and the unsuspecting, still in vacation mode, wake up to a reality they never expected, and it never ceases to shock them. It was when the president announced the end of a cycle, a remarkable sequence of victories, that it seemed to have come to an end. The president Afternoon He spoke, for the first time, of a cycle – he called it a book – finished, and opened the door to another time, to a new book, about five years away. And the main reason for this sudden change of scenario was openly admitted by Afternoonwhen he admits that, if the removal of Le Normand and Merinoperhaps a few more pages of the previous book could have been written. So, the inevitable question is: why, given that it was expected that this could happen, the relevant corrective measures were not taken, or at least not with the conviction and resolution that has characterized the management of this sport in recent years ?

The feeling that can be deduced from all this is that we are moving into a transition phase that is waiting for better times. But, if things do not turn out as we expect, who is in a position to pay the corresponding fees? I know, and we all know, where the first dam falls, because that’s the law of football, but that doesn’t make it any fairer. The coach works to get results…now, not two years from now. And if the results don’t come, Imanol You have to take out the suitcase with wheels and move. La Real, the Real of today, no matter how many new stages are started, is obliged to continue to be there, a year yes, and a year too.

Bad time for poetry

After a winding road to the Getafense coliseum, with one of Real’s toughest matches since Imanol leading the team, and a scary injury report, the Oriotarra coach has no choice but to pick up the pieces and rebuild the figure as dignified as possible. And the fall TraoreUndoubtedly, the absence of braise in the midfield it can have important effects.
After the departure of Merinoa lot of waiting Zubimendi number Turrientes recover their best version, the Galician has emerged as the beacon of this team in midfield, in a certain promising start to the season, and claims himself as the talented player who, in the shadow of Merino has grown in silence, and which, in time, claims its own stripes. Navarrese is no longer there, and now the Mos footballer is under a period that is difficult to determine.
These are not good times for poetry, because the football of this type of player has little prosaic and a lot of poetry. Without them, the script would be very different. It will not be easy to get used to the new sounds, but there is no other choice.

The power of right

Real’s right side of defense is one of the best covered positions in the team…a few months ago, to the point where the roster had to lighten up
opponents. Three were left…now it’s only two, after a serious injury Traore. Odriozolaa veteran in search of his best version, and Aramburua beginner, but
less, with great potential. Putting the two together, the math continues to work for me.

Aihen came back stronger

This is, without a doubt, one of the few redeeming features of the Getafe match simulation, the return of Aihen more than 200 days later. Etxauri has always succeeded
situations where it seems to have started with a disadvantage, to end up winning. And it looks like this will be no exception. By the way, we had a chance to talk
with him after the game and I saw him, how should I say… square?
