Imanol Sheriff, the greatest exponent of the triumphal march, was the interim coach the last time Real came to the last day with nothing at stake. The indifference of the middle of the table had completely invaded a team that said goodbye to the League at the Camp Nou. It was a worthy shelving: defeat by the minimum, competing. Later came the posthumous defeat in Cornellà that squandered few European aspirations, a prelude to two culminations in style. The final tie at the Metropolitano and the narrow victory at El Sadar to qualify for Europe twice in a row. As a clear hallmark of an evolution, this course has been successful with greater anticipation: Real close the League classified for the Europa League and in sixth position after Betis’ draw against Real Madrid. But you don’t play with the shield: there it is Imanol Sheriff to put order.
“I take as finals until the friendlies”. Perhaps the declaration of principles, the work of Imanol, seems more like a hyperbole than an accurate treatment of reality. However, this mentality of the coach has been transferred to the entire squad and is conceived as the origin of a winning era. Full of wins. An iron ambition that makes an appearance even in days like tonight. Because for Imanol, a Real match is an appointment with a part of the life of the fans. A daily staunch defense of the shield.
For this reason, Real receives Atlético de Madrid (10:00 p.m., Anoeta) with the ethical obligation to go for victory. It will not serve to climb to fifth place due to the Betis point at the Bernabéu, but the victory will allow Imanol add 65, personal record of the Oriotarra in a League. The day is attractive for the identity of the visitor. In Anoeta there is always a win to see Atlético de Madrid bite the dust. The social aspect must be taken into account and it would also be a result of prestige, which never hurts.
Silva’s loss marks eleven
A last-minute problem has arisen for La Real to win the championship. David Silva he fell out of the call due to muscular overload. So the star from Gran Canaria says goodbye until next season, since he will miss the last game. It is an absence that will mark the alignment.
It is possible that without Silva, Imanol reconsider betting on the rhombus of the final league stretch. If you keep it Rafinha will replace Silva and Illarramendi will continue as headline, backed by Zubimendi Y Merino. Isaac Y sorlot they would form a spear point again. Imanol he may be planning to field Ryan before the World Cup is played. gorosabel aims to replace Zaldua on the right side. The casualties of Atlético de Madrid are Vrsaljko, joao felix Y Javier Serrano. those of Simeone They also arrive with their homework done. But they will leave the skin. Like the Royal.
