As a Barca fan, La Real are a club I've always admired. They have an incredibly dedicated fan base. A rainy night at the Anoeta is always tough. They play really good football as well, Imanol is doing an incredible job.
La Real ain't chasing trends or tactical fads. They do what they want, how they want, and have faith in it. Is it sexy? Not really. Is it bombastic? Never. What it is, is consistent and effective, allowing La Real to achieve a very high baseline over the course of the whole season. 51 goals isn't sexy, no no no. Yet the passion remains fierce in the stands, the people do not feel bored by their teams motions.
Wdym?? It's always beautiful to watch La Real...they play beautiful football and dominate almost everyone they face, their manager is a special tactical genius
Im from the US and have no ties to spain or basque country whatsoever, im 21 now but when i first started learning about football at age 11, i was instantly intrigued with real sociedad, obviously through learning about real madrid and barcelona at first like everyone else, i started to watch la liga and i was captivated by everything about La Real, the crest, the basque language, and specifically their defender Mikel Gonzalez, since 2014 ive been a fan and have watched every game i can, and with the inclusion of streaming services i have not missed a single one of their games since espn added la liga onto their streaming app in 2021, i really identify with this club and their fanbase, even the basque people in general, i love this club with all my heart, i shed tears when Illaramendi played his last game and i am so proud to see them get back into the UCL, i will forever remain hopeful that WE WILL win La liga again one day, i was lucky to be the generation that saw them lift their first trophy in THREE decades and i know i will be the generation that sees them lift their third la liga🤍💙
That’s crazy, from inside channel joke, to working with Real Sociedad. Because of Adrian, I actually started watching Real Sociedad’s matches. Hopefully one day they can become future champions!
Thanks Adrian for making this video. I'm Txuri Urdin and enjoyed this so much! Kubo & Silva duo is magical! Looking forward to going to a friendly La Real game in SF in August😀
At the start of every season since 19/20 they looked like they were gonna get CL football or challange for the title, unfortunately they were inconsistent and always slipped to the europa spots, glad they atleast clinged on this time.
The problem with Kubo is that he will never be able to gain Spanish citizenship since Japan doesn’t allow dual citizenship This makes him forever taking a non-EU slot, in comparison to Real’s policy of buying the best Brazilian youngsters and getting them Spanish citizenship in two years and then rinse and repeat. Kubo definitely has talent but Real cannot find a place for him and carry a player that always occupies a non-EU slot
Congrats on the video and the interview. I really enjoy your videos about teams like this, makes me want to support them even more. I think in La Liga are teams really interesting to follow. Cheers.
Different type of players though I understand why you draw the parallels because of their range of passing and vision. Comparing Silva with Modric, is like comparing Xabi Alonso with Mesut Ozil, it doesn't work.
I don’t want to sound like a bandwagon but I somewhat liked/favored Sociedad, and after watching this video honestly I’m inclined to become a fan. Always been only a Milan fan and didn’t care about other leagues usually.
Nice video. One of the best fútbol/soccer channels on the platform. Real sociedad has alerts been an interesting and special club. Especially during the vela and Griezmann days.
Please do fc nordjaesland in Denmark they have had the youngest overall squad in Europe for the last 2/3 year and there youth academy is one of the best in the world and the right to dream acamdey great run club
Sounds all very similar to Freiburg, especially at 10:49. Nice, that those clubs are represened internationally. Would love to see such a documentary about them... or Heidenheim?!
Great video Adrian! Continuity is something you don't see much in the modern game of Football. Hopefully Real Sociedad does well in the next Champions League season
Will you be doing a review of your predictions on european leagues? I remember you also showed us a website where we could make our predictions about the whole table but i can't remember the name now lol
This just makes me sad that I feel so out of touch with my own local pro team. The Colorado Rapids shot themselves in the foot by moving outside of Denver to Commerce City. I've always loved being in the stands and they used to be a good team. Sure at the time building one of the biggest sporting complex in North America sounded good on paper but the number of empty seats speaks louder than that. I'm not sure how their academy plays now but back when I was playing nobody wanted to join it because all the better teams were already winning and travelling nationally.
For so long, it's felt inevitable that Real Sociedad would be up there with the rest in the UCL, they've finally done it. They won't be easy to face in LaLiga and neither in the UCL with that Spanish pedigree that bring Spanish clubs success in Europe
The fact that in your contests only north americans can participate while the subject is a european club of the most followed sport in Europe is dumb AF.
Hey Adrian as a native basque speaker I thought that your attempt at the names was pretty good! But there still were some mistakes I won’t blame you for. Barrene’s name has an etch in it.
