La Real will face its great ghost of last season tomorrow (Son Moix, 7 pm), as that elimination in the semifinals of the Copa del Rey came against Mallorca, a wound that for many has not yet healed. That knockout took place in Anoeta, from the penalty spot and after 210 minutes in which both teams scored just one goal. It is the crossing of false goals that have been scored by Sadiqfrom the missed penalty of braiseof purpose which seems to have entered and not been awarded to Tierney and from a batch where Remiro It’s not inspiration.
But it is also a crossing with a rare atmosphere and seems to have unfinished business. It all started in the middle of the round trip, with a victory for Real at Son Moix on the horn and with Mikel Merino putting his fingers in an L shape in his mouth, as he always does when scoring a goal. The Vermilion fans, in a misinterpretation, understood that the then royalist ‘8’ was telling them to shut up and the Mallorcan players remembered that gesture in celebration of their passage to the final, something which royalist fans didn’t like either.
Two old acquaintances
Mallorca have released six players this summer and signed many more, but the most significant changes have taken place on the bench. Despite achieving permanence and being on the verge of winning the Cup, the vermilion club understood that the project of Javier Aguirre was exhausted and they entrusted the Mallorcan ship to Jagoba Arrasate. A self-confessed realist, the one from Berriatua faced Real Sociedad on twelve occasions and it was always with Imanol to the rival bank. In the locker of the Mallorcan coach there is only one victory against Real, but it came exactly in their last match, last February Osasuna won the lowest in the Real Arena thanks to a goal from Budimir. In the other eleven matches, there were three draws and eight wins for the blue and white. The royalist expedition will also meet another acquaintance who until just a few weeks ago was part of the first team: Robert Navarro. He
The Barcelona-born midfielder left the Txuri Urdin discipline at the end of August to join the Majorcan club for one season. After five seasons at Real (one of them, the last, was on loan at Cádiz) Navarrese He still has one year left on his contract, but a renewal agreement has yet to be reached.
In Athletic’s horizon, that has happened several times Afternoon refers to his situation. The last one was last week in the presentation of Oskarsson and Aguerd: “Even if it seems bad Robert NavarroWe didn’t make the decision
thinking Robert Navarro. We have made the decision thinking about the squad and the health of Real Sociedad.” The president also pointed out, in reference to this football player, that “the less noise inside (in relation to the locker room) the better ” and in his previous appearance He said that “this storm (because of the situation
uncomfortable Navarrese) we’ve seen this coming for several years.”
The fact is that, in Mallorca, although as a substitute, the Catalan counts for get lost in the two games in which he was under his command. Furthermore, in the last international window he was called up by the U-21 team to replace the injured player. Moleiro and, with his goal, he gave the victory (0-1) against Hungary.
