Imanol
Sheriff He must be pinching himself to make sure that he lives in reality and not in a reverie when verifying that there are only two footballers disabled by injury when that figure reached two figures in the days of lead before Christmas. The coach can even allow himself the luxury of discarding footballers by technical decision despite the fact that the new regulations, imposed after confinement, allow him to recruit 23 players. Moya Y Sangalli are the only two occupants of an infirmary that became overcrowded two months ago, while Modibo
Sagnan Y Robert
Lopez they were the excluded, being in perfect magazine condition.
Both are not discarded by the coach. It cannot be considered that Imanol chose these two players in order to reserve them for Thursday's game against Manchester United. Nothing is further from reality. The French central defender and the Zaragoza midfielder are perhaps the two players with whom the Oriotarra has the least and more now that there are hardly any injuries.
Sagnan does not convince
Sagnan came to play the last seven minutes of the match against Cádiz, to give a break to Zubeldia. The Parisian was benefited by the absence due to sanction of You
Normand, but the return of the Breton has returned to ostracism. For now Sagnan, the man with 4.5 million euros, has played only 540 minutes this season, 19% of the total. La Real did not sign a left-handed center-back neither in summer nor in January because, in theory, there was confidence in their virtues and in the affiliate's centrals, who do not even appear.
The other absence is also symbolic. Robert
Olabe He confessed last Wednesday that loan offers from players such as Merquelanz, Baptist Y Robert
LopezBut the only one they opened the door to was the one from Zaragoza. He had been cherishing the dream of belonging to the first team of the Real for a few years and, in his first campaign as a full member, he did not want to interrupt him, knowing that the opportunities he may have will be counted. He began the course playing and scoring two goals, against Valladolid and Elche, but his contest has been dwindling until almost disappearing. The return of Silva and the good work of Guridi operate against a Robert
Lopez for whom many Second Division teams were interested.
