Jon Pacheco He is convinced that the team has moved forward and is confident in its possibilities, despite the recent arrival of a signing in his position. He has a clear path. “I have to assume more responsibilities, I have to take a step forward, earn the minutes training and compete as best as possible. That there is competition is good, that a player with that experience comes is good for me and for on the team. This year there are more games than ever and it’s good that there are more people and more competition,” he said.

He feels great, despite a large bandage on his knee resulting from hyperextension of the knee. “I’m fine. With discomfort, but this week is conducive to recovery. In the games that I don’t remember the injury, I gave everything, I wasn’t limited. The knee is getting better. It’s still not 100%, but it’s ready to compete “I’m not 100% or the team. We are struggling. Let’s see if we can do well this week and start getting results,” he commented. He sees the team growing. “It will be difficult for us to go home, but I have a positive outlook. We need time. We are calm. It’s a combination of everything. We have never been able to compete at the same time and give our best. missing training sessions and games all together.”

The last game he played was at Getafe, where Real were bad. “They are a great team. We don’t shoot on goal, but in defense we don’t suffer that much. The draw is not bad and they are a very difficult team to play with,” he said.

One of the aspects where the improvement should be the duels. “Winning duels is key, it allows you not to defend at a distance. This is a very important aspect where we have to continue to improve. There is a lot of room for improvement. Part of winning games goes there,” said the centre-back after a session where there were hundreds of centers to fight, clear or finish.

He was an Olympic champion, something he cherishes but sees in the past now. “As an experience, very good. Having won gold is going to be unforgettable. But here you forget and you go into Real Sociedad mode,” he acknowledged.
