Isak / WJ: the '9' dilemma returns

Returns Willian
José and with him the classic '9' dilemma since last year at La Real. Imanol
Sheriff must decide between the Brazilian, Isak Y Baptist, which at the moment enters the equation and does not want to get rid of it while wearing the txuri urdin shirt. The first two are, however, the main candidates to be the spearhead of the Real in Elche, a rival under construction and without any filming, against which the three points are a kind of obligation.

Has been Isak the one who has played the first two league games and his performance has been well below what he offered in the first months of the year. And even so he was not far from deciding in favor of Real the match against Madrid, with two blows that were about to be a goal. He is the forward of the present and the future in the txuri urdin squad, the non-transferable one, in whom all hopes are placed. But he is a 21-year-old striker who has to polish some aspects of his game. Trunk's scorers usually reach their zenith after the age of 25 and the Scandinavian has yet to improve his performance in the back game, so fundamental in a combinative team like Real.

That is precisely the specialty of a Willian
José whose performance has always convinced Imanol
Sheriff. However, the Brazilian is still weighed by his transferable poster that he carries in all transfer windows and, above all, his erroneous and regrettable decision to refuse to play a decisive match such as the one in the Cup against Espanyol last January as a measure of pressure to sign for Tottenham. The one from Porto Calvo tried to redeem himself during the following months, although he did not manage to regain his status as an almost indisputable starting center forward and neither did his producing contribution. In 22 games in 2020 he only adds four goals. Isak He has celebrated 10 but in 27 games, with that wonderful explosion between January and February, in which he rubbed the lamp and became the genius of the goal: eight in six games.

Willian José is still for sale

Willian
José He has been able to exercise with absolute normality during this week after having spent 10 days isolated at his home because of Covid-19, which deprived him of participating in the first two league games. The '9' was able to complete the preseason from the beginning to almost the end. He is focused on the Real and, in view of the fact that no firm offers have arrived for him, his forecast is to continue dressed in txuri urdin. The problem is that the Real is still waiting for a good proposal to transfer him, get some cut and sign another battering ram for less money.

The policy of Olabe It is clear: he is making a clean sweep with all the players from outside who came before him. Last year he left Juanmi and this year, in just three weeks, Rulli Y Llorente.
