José but at this point there is little doubt that the Swede is the favorite center forward of Imanol, the 'nine' holder of the Real.
Isak He even confessed that late games, at almost disco hours, puzzled him since at that time, at night, he used to sleep. He painstakingly embraced that theory in the Sanchez
Pizjuán and taking advantage of the fact that the one that Sevilla and Real played was the earliest duel of the day, the tall attacker of Solna He barely needed 14 minutes to score his fourth goal of the season, all of them in the league. A target that allowed the Nordic to close a small circle, going to draw in round numbers his scoring career at Real. In Nervión reached 20 goals as txuri urdin, 13 in the League and seven in the Cup, in the little more than fifty games he has played in the First Division for a total of 65 official matches with Real.
Though 20 goals They may seem few, it is not a frontier that the majority of foreigners who have played in the Real have explored with simplicity. Isak, in fact, he became part of the goal he scored against Bond of the ‘top ten’ of top foreign scorers in the club's history. Kovacevic (107 goals) heads a roster of which they are part Kodro (81), Charles
Candle (73), Willian
José (60), Nihat (58), Griezmann (53), Aldridge (40), Karpin (37), Craioveanu (27) and his own Isak 20. Foreigners with a good performance in their time at the txuri urdin club as Jankauskas (19) or Atkinson (12) did not reach twenty targets.
378 minutes longer than Willian
Isak He has participated in 21 of the 25 official matches that Real has accumulated so far this season, acting 16 times as a starter and only five from the bench. They are the figures that confirm that Imanol has bet more decisively on the Swede than on Willian
José. The Nordic practically doubles in the number of holders to that of Porto
Bald, who has played nine times at the start, and has also enjoyed more minutes on the pitch: 1,263 for Willian José's 888, 378 minutes plus the Swede.
Despite having spent more time in the field, both have scored four goals and the last two from Isak, in the Levante field and in Seville, they did not serve to score. In fact, the only weight goal the Swede has scored was the one he scored in the Carranza (0-1) since his first of his particular account was the fourth to Huesca (4-1) in a match already sentenced.
