Oskarsson opposes Imanol’s eleven

Orri Oskarsson This is the name that was repeated the most in Donostia last week. Not only because it turned out to be one of the biggest investments in the club’s history, but because right now Real needed a striker. It came to complement Oyarzabal and contend with Sadiq to get minutes, but with the injury of Eibartarra, only the Nigerian can be an obstacle to finding a place in the eleven. Furthermore, although he will have to adapt, he is coming off a scoring streak unfamiliar to the two Real goalkeepers, so the Icelander will be looking to extend his good start to the season with a resilient txuri urdin.

Very angry

He is almost 20 years old, but Orri He has responded to both club and national teams. On Friday he did not disappoint in his appointment in goal against Montenegro, in what was the first date of the UEFA Nations League. The young Icelander started as a starter, as he did in Copenhagen, and hurt the Montenegrin team especially in set pieces. So came his first and only goal of the night, heading for a corner at the near post, impossible for the goalkeeper due to the power of the header. He should have scored another, but the game went to a penalty, although it was eventually annulled by the referee.

During the game, despite not fully participating, he looked like a striker who knows how to play with his back: he dropped to receive three quarters of the field and released two balls from the wing, at the first touch, leaving his teammate in very favorable situations. This is something that stands out Imanol in a press conference when talking Orriand a key attribute to be a forward for Real Sociedad, so the sports management will consider it. The Orio man will put pressure on him after the defeat, when working without the ball, because the efforts he makes Oyarzabal When it comes to making a rival uncomfortable, it’s not just anyone who does it. He is a forward who needs to make a leap in physical level, put on a few kilos, but has the conditions to make Real a more competitive team.

The lace

Oskarsson He is a natural nine, a finishing forward who, at 186 centimeters, can hunt balls up and down inside the area. He knows how to combine and will not burn the ball, something that his compatriot also highlighted. Alfred Finnbogasonadmitting that it was great for him to be surrounded by players of his caliber Oyarzabalfor example, although Eibar are the missing piece in the coming weeks. The 4-3-3 of Imanol At the moment it seemed untouchable, although on several occasions it became a diamond, disrupting the plans of a well-known Real team charging the game from the wings. In hut Arriving plugged in, he seemed difficult to remove from the eleven, from the right profile he usually occupies. However, Icelanders can use a ‘centre’, and Becker He has been most successful fielding balls from his natural profile, where he crosses with his right foot over his natural leg. On the left wing, however, there may be more alternatives to Barrenetxea, Sergio or even both Sheraldowhich alternated on both sides. The player from Badalona, ​​who recently signed, can be key when it comes to throwing the ball, as he is one of the most outstanding when it comes to placing crosses, even dropping to braise Its midfield position may be delayed.
