Alex Remiro has gone from being the villain of Real Sociedad to being its hero in just a week. Cascante’s goalkeeper was just a week ago at this time in the afternoon apologizing to the realistic fans and explaining the bad night he had spent because of his gross mistake in the Basque derby and that it cost his team two points in the last minute. But in seven days everything has returned to normal with the starting goal of the LaLiga leader. Because He is once again one of the ‘culprits’ of the victory in El Sadar and of a new solo leadership. Thanks to his saves and also to his splendid footwork. Remiro has overcome a dangerous bump and shines again with his own light.
Against Osasuna, the Navarrese goalkeeper He supported Real Sociedad with two saves of great merit with the match tied and when he seemed to feel the most rushed, leaving his clean sheet for the eighth time this season. Brazanac and Chimy Ávila can give a good account of this. And then, not happy with it, he was the first pitcher of the San Sebastian team game. With his good ball touch, something in which he has grown a lot since his arrival in San Sebastián, He was the initiator of football from behind Real, as it was demonstrated in the 0-1 of Mikel Merino. The Navarrese midfielder finished a play that Remiro started in his goal and in which almost all the realists touched the ball. Cascante’s goalkeeper understands perfectly what Imanol wants from him and with his performances he agrees with him.
Because the Oriotarra coach has maintained his confidence in the most complicated moments. To get him out of the media spotlight, the easiest thing was probably to get him out of the starting eleven and put Ryan in, who had also earned the title. But Imanol gave him his confidence by leaving him in the starting eleven against Sturm Graz. And Remiro responded with a lot of personality, because he could do nothing in the Austrian team’s goal. And then he put him back in the goal against Osasuna, to take advantage of his good touch of the ball in a game in which they were going to suffer very high pressure.
Remiro returned to play very calmly, holding the ball until he managed to unhinge the Osasuna players so that they would free players. The one from Cascante assumed his mistake as something natural in the world of football, and from there he focused on regaining confidence, something in which Jon Alemán, the goalkeeping coach of the first team, has had a lot to do with which he reviewed the error, but at the same time emphasized his successes. The support of his teammates and the club has also been fundamental in that in just seven days, Remiro has gone from suffering from a mistake to being highlighted again for his saves.
