Merquelanz is the great novelty of the call for Imanol
Sheriff to receive Getafe. The irundarra appears in a list of the first team txuri urdin after traveling a tortuous path, fraught with misfortunes and cruelties, working in the shadows and triumphs far from home. One hopes that tomorrow, 764 days after his unfortunate injury in Ipurua, it will come to an end.
More than two years have passed since Merquelanz he wore the txuri urdin jacket for the last time in an official match. The Irundarra has managed to bury the bitter taste of that truncated debut in Ipurua. He recovered, forgetting his injury, signing a spectacular season at Mirandés and, this summer, he returned to Zubieta with strength and a renewal under his arm. A herniated disc delayed a few weeks that moment that he has been waiting for so long, that of his re-release. The dream comes alive today.
Tough competition
The 25-year-old winger has been exercising normally for just over a week. Still lacking in rhythm, it seems somewhat hasty that Imanol put him in the 'eleven', but it is not at all ruled out that he had his first minutes. The absence of Adnan
Januzaj He opens a gap in one of the bands and, although the competition is fierce, the Irundarra aspires to gain his leadership role. The season is demanding, long, and offers space for everyone.
Tomorrow's rival in Anoeta does not seem the most conducive to showing off, for glittering premieres. The Getafe of José
Bordalás lands in Donostia with the leader's band, without having conceded a goal in three games and with a well-earned reputation as a rocky, uncomfortable team. Damien
Suarez Y Mathias
Olive occupying the defensive bands, two expeditious wingers, who do not grant joys and who will try to turn the afternoon into an ordeal for the wingers txuri urdin.
It is not the most appetizing menu but Merquelanz will not look at the letter. His desire to jump onto the pitch with the Real jersey is endless and today could be the day. After scoring 17 goals and distributing 14 assists with Mirandés last season, becoming one of the great names of the season in the Second Division, the Irundarra wants to show that his place is in the First Division. In the club of his life.
Won by hand
764 days ago he jumped onto the grass of Ipurua with the same objective with which he will put his boots on today: to consolidate himself in the first team of the Real. Fulfill your dream. That first attempt was twisted painfully within seconds with a serious knee injury, the second in his brief career. Today, with the point of maturity offered by overcoming difficult situations and with the determination that comes from having made a name for himself last season, Merquelanz You could face a hard-earned second chance that you are not willing to miss.
His left-handed silk is called to offer many joys to the txuri urdin parish. This afternoon, with '17' on his back, he will try to start rewriting his history at La Real.
