The derby against Athletic is already on the horizon, but for Imanol there is no more game than this Thursday in Sweep against Celta, so his only intention for this game is to “win the game” because “tomorrow’s game is the important one. Sunday’s will come.” In his opinion, “to face Sunday’s game in the best possible way, the best thing is to win tomorrow and, in addition, giving a very good image and being better than the rival, which is going to cost us because we will have a great team in front of us. , so I’m going to try to get the best eleven possible. “
Del Celta stressed that “he has a great team. From midfield upwards he has a very similar level to ours, with rich players, both tactically and technically, and a great coach who endows the team with an important aggressiveness. Due to circumstances, and not because he didn’t play well, he has fewer points than he deserves. “
He was asked about the possibility of him realigning together again Isaac and Sorloth after his good performance in the Metropolitano, but he did not reveal anything about it: “This team is rich tactically and has players who adapt to different positions and registers that give me the option of being able to draw different drawings and give nuances to the games. Always We do it even if we start from a 4-3-3. I have very intelligent, very good players and that way it is easier to face the games, “he said.
However, he did not hesitate to praise the level of Alexander Sorlotho: “I told you when we signed him, and that he is not yet one hundred percent. great player, but there are many good players that I have. I told you that we could handle him in different positions because he is very skilled tactically and technically. You can blend in with any player. “
So with the doubt of the system and the players that will be in the running, Real will arrive at Balaídos on Thursday, having only added one defeat, although for Imanol “What’s done is done, that must be continued.” In his opinion “we cannot live on what has been done” and he pointed out that all “we are getting very high, you yourselves recognize that we are winning by specific details. We are not winning excessively. We have to be happy and proud, yes and I am the one first, but we have not done anything, “he said, wanting to reduce the euphoria he detects. “Within four games, we are saying that the balloon has been punctured and we are talking about something else. We must say what the team has done and the merit it has, but always with humility because we are Real Sociedad and we have been there for years. we are approaching 70 points. Rest assured, we will see if we continue this and we will go game by game “.
