Real Sociedad El de Orio dio descanso a algunos futbolistas pensando en Europa y mantuvo el liderato.
Imanol Alguacil cambió más de la mitad de su equipo titular, con respecto al del jueves en el partido de Europa League en Holanda, al alinear a Igor Zubeldia, Aihen Muñoz, Ander Guevara, Roberto López, Ander Barrenetxea y Willian José, y al final la revolución le salió bien, ya que igualó la ventaja inicial del Villarreal y pudo sumar un punto para defender el liderato en LaLiga, mientras algunos de sus jugadores importantes tenían descanso para el importantísimo encuentro ante el Rijeka.
Imanol presentó un once que parecía más débil que el del Villarreal, al no estar en él hombres importantes como Nacho Monreal, Portu, Adnan Januzal y Alex Isak, por ejemplo, pero tras arrancar mal los futbolistas elegidos por el de Orio fueron creciendo y empataron ante los de Unai Emery, teniendo incluso más oportunidades que ellos para marcar un tanto más y haber sumado los tres puntos.
El entrenador realista siempre dice que piensa en el partido más inmediato y que saca el once que considera mejor para hacerse con los tres puntos, pero en esta ocasión, dado que este próximo jueves se juega tres puntos muy valiosos para la clasificación europea, pareció pensar un poco en esta trascendental cita al dar descansos a algunos de los hombres en los que más suele confiar.
Isak, Portu y Monreal, descansados para el juevesAsí
El balance de las decisiones del de Orio, en cualquier caso, se puede considerar positivo, ya que su Real se mantiene como líder, con la misma renta sobre su rival de ayer, y con cierta distancia sobre otros importantes perseguidores, al tiempo que, como hemos apuntado, piensa en encarar en el mejor estado físico posible el trascendental encuentro de este próximo jueves en Anoeta contra el Villarreal.Isak llegará al encuentro contra el Rijeka sin minutos ayer, y Januzaj, Portu, Monreal y Zubimendi, que también se antojan titulares, lo harán con poco desgaste, algo más Zaldua que tuvo que salir en el descanso por la amarilla y las molestias físicas de Aritz.
