Imanol
Sheriff dedicates himself body and soul, with the dedication that characterizes him, so that the League preserves its traditional position as a basic necessity. The fact that the first Cup final in 33 years appears strongly on the landscape is not an obstacle, from the coach’s perspective, for Real to lose sight of the two previous flying goals. You travel to Europe with the green jersey of regularity. To fly in the final sprint along Erik
Zabel The Mario
Cipollini, the Oriotarra squad will jump to Los Cármenes tomorrow with the best weapons at their disposal. And so it will be.
The strategy of Imanol is to beat Granada tomorrow and Barcelona next Sunday. “It’s the best way”, according to the coach, landing in the final week against Athletic in full condition. To do this, “I will get the best possible ‘eleven'” against the Nasrids, he warned.
“What do you prefer, to win the Cup or for Real to qualify for the Champions League?” Imanol whose abbreviated answer is worth a thousand words: “Win against Granada.” The one from Orio hides that the “goal” is always the “next game” and is also clear that “professionals have to avoid the final” until the week of their dispute.
The key is balance
La Real travels through the League having recovered the credentials that made him unstoppable between October and November, there when he linked several days as leader. When, illuminated by an effective avant-garde football, she spent nine days winning or, failing that, drawing. In other words, adding.
Imanol commands a ship that has now seven league games without losing. A defeat (3-2 against Sevilla) in the last 10 days registers the realistic squad. If they continue on a streak against Granada and Barcelona in Anoeta, Real will appear in the final against Athletic with a credit of arms to take: nine games unbeaten, the best streak of the season.
The Real coach celebrated yesterday at a press conference that “we are being regular” and is happy that “the results have come again.” In his opinion, “there has been balance in the game throughout the year” and he was “very happy” for the “defensive performance of the team, for the few occasions that they have generated us.”
He is not a suspect of playing games with his prayers Imanol and in Los Cármenes he will be faithful to his predicaments: he will bet on a lineup of guarantees to win. La Real defends fifth place, eight points of income in the European zone and can put pressure on Sevilla, fourth with three more points.
Beware of Granada
The field visited by the Royal morning complicates the lives of the visitors with increasing emphasis. Imanol
Sheriff praises Granada. “He is having an impressive season and he will not be just any opponent.” The Oriotarra pointed out that the Nasrids are “the best from set pieces” and it seems to him “a very mature team.”
La Real, of course, has joined the foothills of the Alhambra in its six most recent trips. A land binds forever and ever to the history of the club thanks to the Queen’s Cup won there in May 2019.
