The football director of Real Sociedad, Roberto Olabeand the great British journalist Sid Lowe opened the cycle of Guipuzcoan Football Federation talks this afternoon at the Reale Arena Auditorium.
They have already talked about who we are and where we come from. In other words, how has Basque football evolved in recent years? The British journalist stressed several times throughout the talk that “the history of the club is important”. Moreover, he wanted to convey that the Basque Country is the autonomous community that has noticed it most in the whole of Spain. He pointed out that it’s always important to “create an idea of who we are” and the San Sebastian club is more than just following it.
Lowe He has been in the country since the 90s and he knows very well Spanish football, but, more specifically, Basque football. The evolution that Real has had over the years sees it in a “wonderful” way. He feels that the Basque derby is a special event and sees it from a “more social than football perspective.” He referred to Real Sociedad as a “romantic” club. There is essence.
Gipuzkoan football
Studied in Gipuzkoa, Olabe He declared that “signing is the last thing. It is necessary, but at points it may exist, it is in the last place”. He thinks that a “model taken to the limit has imperfections, but to solve them, appropriate management is required”. What you think you need to do is look outside to see what things might be wrong, so that in the future you can improve on them.
Importance of Zubieta
“I want to be Zubieta, I want to be Real Sociedad!” This was the first thing the sports director mentioned when telling him about the facilities. He sees with good eyes that players who are not from the quarry can be accepted. “We don’t want to be exclusive, whoever wants to be part of Zubieta can,” he says. He added that in the first team, 60% were from academia and the remaining 40% were not. In Sanse the same does not happen. 80% are youth groups compared to 20% who are not. Two speakers this afternoon thought each of the players coming to Real Sociedad was “welcome”.
To end the round table, he offered a series of recommendations for coaches of different categories looking to the future. “The three main pillars are having adequate knowledge, a good attitude and people management skills,” added the man from Alava. The elite are almost unforgiving, almost non -giving.
