Real Sociedad, on the attack against Cádiz

Real Sociedad will go on the attack this Thursday against Cádiz. He has no choice, because after four consecutive days without winning, victory is mandatory, so as not to risk a European candidacy that has cost a lot to make it stable. But for it you have to score goals, which is precisely what is missing this season and the main focus of its problems. So to break that bad dynamic in front of the opposite goal, Imanol is clear that he is going to go on the attacktake risks to score, or what is the same, change the system to play with more attacking players.

The idea of ​​the coach from Oriotarna is to give his team more gunpowder, without losing the essence of the last games, that control and touch football that has made him dominate his rivals, despite the fact that this has not translated into the result because of his inability to score. The point is that this may lead him to have to change the game system, leaving aside the diamond midfield that he has raised in the last few days of the league. That will force him to sit down one of the midfielders he has been using: Zubimendi, Merino, Rafinha and Silva.. Everything indicates that the ‘sacrificed’ is the Brazilian, but it is not unreasonable to think that he can give a break to Merinosince he is noticing fatigued in his latest performances and it may be convenient for him to stop a game, especially considering that it is a week of two appointments, no matter how important the Navarrese is for the Real game.

That presumed system change will lead to Portu and Januzaj coming out into the ring occupying his most usual positions, which are the bands, acting one on the left and the other on the right, and returning to the system of two midfielders and a supporter from behind, with open players on the band and a forward, a reference that he has used the most Imanol Sheriff. The low of Isak by sanction leaves Sorloth as the only reference above, playing in the position of nine. So the possibility that Karrikaburu, the forward of the subsidiary that promises so much, is summoned to be the alternative on the bench in case of need, he wins many integers. Elizondo’s striker has normally completed the last two sessions with the first team, and his presence in the squad seems more than necessary. Especially considering that he would be the player on the squad list who has scored the most goals, having scored ten in the Second Division with Real B.
