La Real returns to its old ways

The year 2024 is being a nightmare in Anoeta after several seasons in which everything was wine and roses. La Real is right now that outstanding student who begins the course still thinking about the month of August, improves somewhat in October and does his homework between classes, but suddenly returns to being that lazy student who for the moment fails the first semester. The team fell again in front of its people against an Osasuna with very clear ideas and the week of Fantastic and Horror Cinema has already been extrapolated to all of 2024. Playing at home is being an ordeal and the defeats only grow . And the next visitor is Flick’s Barcelona. La Real is far from its best level, but if you make a defensive mistake again against a rock like Osasuna with 0-0, it is giving the rival too much of an advantage. “Gometxa gorria berriz,” they used to say regularly in class.

Imanol drew one of his most recognizable elevens on the Anoeta mat, with Sergio on the side and rested players like Óskarsson, Sucic and Gómez himself, and although in the first minutes Real was connected with the ball in one more gear, it It is true that Osasuna was comfortable in that game plan that the royalists proposed. The team dominated possession, although in positions far from Herrera’s area, and when the ball was around their goal the ideas were not executed correctly.

Quite the opposite Osasuna, which only played one thing; look long for Budimir so that he can unload or pass directly to Bryan, one of the most unbalanced players in the league. Like when your best subject in ikastola was soinketa and you always got a 10. It’s good for a higher grade.

Aramburu soon realized that he was going to have to suffer. Precisely good coverage from the Venezuelan prevented the small Bayern player from standing alone against Remiro. At minute 17, possession was 80-20% in favor of Real. Something absurd for Vicente Moreno, who didn’t care.

A defensive mistake in an isolated play broke the tie. Bryan quickly took a corner, Moncayola left him the wall and no one in Real was active. The outcome, as expected in such a poorly defended situation. Torró headed into the net without opposition. The play, in any case, had to be repeated since Bryan had the ball outside the corner semicircle. Real did not wake up until a similar opportunity in the opposing area, but Aguerd’s header was repelled by Herrera.

From 1-1 to 0-2 since Osasuna struck twice in another isolated action, this time after a loss by Brais for not playing singles. After the rojillo robbery, six royalists are behind the ball. Bryan shot three for three and found Budimir, who in Anoeta, his home garden, beat Remiro with a shot that hit the post. Some dominated the game, Osasuna what really matters, the score. The joke could have been much greater if Iglesias Villanueva had not corrected Pulido Santana, who gave a penalty for a brush by Aramburu on Boyomo. Before, he avoided a clear continued grab by Cruz on Zubeldia. Another maximum penalty that flies to Real this season. He hasn’t been given a penalty since March. The best at halftime was 0-2.

Kubo agitates, they do not accompany him

Imanol sat down the unbalanced Kubo, who sometimes gets it right and other times doesn’t but is one of those who always generates danger. The native of Oriola introduced the Japanese player as soon as the second half began and the team had fifteen minutes in which they harassed Herrera and forced him to show off as only he knows how, with an overperformance that must already bore even the Osasuna fans themselves.

The Japanese had two shots, one loose and the other tight, while Sucic from afar and Barrenetxea with a header tried without success. The San Sebastian native himself didn’t even score on a ball that he should have hit first. It didn’t matter, Osasuna played without breaking a sweat and the worst thing is that there is no player who is doing it right to hold on to. The student is groggy in the league, that subject that feeds you. Twelve points in eleven games send you to recovery. The course progresses…
