After returning to La Liga six years ago, after a difficult adaptation period in the first two years, Real Sociedad repeatedly overturned Real Madrid and Barcelona at home. In the 2013-2014 season, they also reached the Champions League. However, the team's performance against the coach The requirements are very strict.

Just playing well at home does not guarantee that you will stay at Real Sociedad. After Montagnier, Arthur and Moyes were both fired halfway through the league.

In the past 30 years, except for the famous Welsh coach Toshack, who was able to coach for three seasons twice, no one can lead the team in San Sebastian until the third year.

Therefore, the former Barcelona and Valladolid star Sakristan, who cleaned up the mess in the middle of last season, needs to lead the team to a better ranking in the new season.

He served as an assistant coach at Barcelona in 03 and returned to the Barcelona B team in 11 to replace Enrique. Sakristan's only previous first-team coaching experience was to save Celta Vigo from the second division in 08-09 and successfully avoid relegation. , but was fired due to poor performance at the beginning of the subsequent season.

Last season he once again acted as a firefighter, successfully taking Real Sociedad out of danger, which was already in the relegation zone, and ended the season firmly in the middle of the league.

In the new season, Sakristan is still under a lot of pressure. The team's lineup is plagued by injuries. How to ensure that the decline at the beginning of last season will not happen again and that the fans are satisfied is his top priority.

Due to the ownership of Maldonado, who is still in Uruguay, Real Club's starting goalkeeper last season and Argentina's Olympic main player Rulli was able to continue to play for Real Club on loan after a series of transfer operations this summer.

Because he participated in the Rio Olympics, Rulli may not appear in the team's starting lineup at the beginning of the new season.

Last season's backup goalkeeper OLS Barr has returned to Granada on loan. In the new season, the team introduced Tonio Ramirez from Cyprus champion AEK Lanaka. After the player left Real Madrid in 2012, he once played in Spain. Played for Guadalajara and Leonesa in the lower leagues.

After moving to Cyprus two years ago, he finally proved himself again and got the opportunity to return to his home team. The young player Baldaji who was promoted from Team B will serve as the team's third goalkeeper.

Last season's main Mexican international Diego Reyes' loan expired and returned to Porto. Royal Society can only tap its potential internally. Youngster Eslutondo, who mainly plays right back, will partner with Inigo Martinez at center back. Mikel Gonzalez, who entered the first team in 2006, last season Has gradually faded out of the starting lineup.

Argentinian coach Berizzo was once a witness and participant in Celta Vigo's glory days. He joined the team at the end of his career in 2001 and reached the Copa del Rey final with the team, participated in the Champions League and returned to La Liga the following year after being relegated. , and then he chose to hang up his boots in Cadiz, the "Bay of the Moon" in Andalusia.

His coaching career began as a deputy to the famous coach "Crazy" Bielsa (while coaching the Chilean national team). It can be said that Berizzo's coaching style was deeply influenced by Bielsa.

After achieving success at Chilean club Ochis, he took over the Celta Vigo team left by current coach Luis Enrique and left a deep mark on them with a heavy emphasis on offense and light defense.

But he can still play as a rotation player. As for Raul Navas, after returning from loan last season, he was out for a whole year due to a hip injury!

It is still unknown whether he can adapt to the rhythm of the league after returning in the new season. He has already started participating in the pre-season and scored one goal.

Except for Berchiche from Ian, Real Sociedad's full-backs are all their own products-Carlos Martinez, Saldua, and Hector Hernandez.

Right back Saldua appeared in the starting position on the wing many times in the preseason. He may enter the starting lineup after playing as a substitute last season, but if Mikel Gonzalez and Raul Navas If he can regain his form, Eluston will return to the wing, and Saldua may still be a substitute.

Berchiche on the left started 22 times last season and is still the main candidate in the new season. With substitute left back Della Bea joining Olympiakos in Greece on loan, young player Hector Hernandez will Get more performance opportunities.

Royal Society has enough midfielders. Last season's main players Illarramendi and Pardo already had a good understanding of each other. There are also three veteran players in Vergara, Surutusa, and captain Prieto. In the end, Gastaniaga, who returned from loan, also received good training outside.

Royal Society's midfielders are all good at running and pressing, but their skills are a bit rough. Except for Pardo's two other former wealthy players Granero and Canales who are good at foot, although they are famous, the former has been in poor condition. .

The latter suffered a ruptured cruciate ligament last winter. In fact, neither of them was able to bring many stylistic changes to the Royal Society.

皇社两个赛季以来都是4-3-3和4-2-3-1的坚定信奉者,所以边路是他们进攻的主要发起点。

After Portuguese winger Bruma returned to Galatasaray on loan in the new season, the attacking options on both sides have become somewhat scarce. However, Real Madrid often uses central midfielders as guest stars, so there is no shortage of personnel.

Mexican international Carlos Vela can be said to have found the most suitable team for his career in Real Madrid. His bilateral combination with Griezmann was once unique in La Liga.

Oyazábal, who entered the first team in January this year, and Koncha, the national youth player who returned from a summer loan, both have good potential.

Top striker Aguirreche was injured twice last season, and he was also unable to play in the first half of the new season. With last year's replacement, Brazilian Jonatas, transferring to Rubin Kazan for 700 million euros, Royal Society is in The transfer market has also increased its efforts to strengthen the striker.

They introduced another Brazilian striker, William José, who scored consecutive goals against Real Madrid and Barcelona last season (and also scored a goal for Real Madrid), and Juanmi, who was frustrated at Southampton in the Premier League last year.

The latter arrived at the team earlier and has already scored four goals in the preseason. And Bautista, the top scorer of the B team, is also a good internal addition.

A pure club, this was the definition people had of Bilbao before they printed advertisements on their chests. Although they had to compromise with marketization, they also had a bottom line that they could not break through - those who played for Bilbao. Players must have Basque parents or be born in the Basque Country.

However, the Basque region includes a very broad area (the three provinces under the jurisdiction of the Basque Autonomous Region in Spain, the Navarra region in Spain, and the three provinces in France bordering the Basque Country and Navarre), so places like Lizarazu and La Bolte (born in the Basque region of France), Raul Garcia, and current captain Ilesos (born in Pamplona, ​​the provincial capital of the Navarre region) are all players of orthodox Basque descent.

Even Williams, the current black player on the team, although his parents do not have Basque ancestry, was born in Bilbao and started his football career in Pamplona Sports, so he can be regarded as a young player.

Although such rules are somewhat harsh, it does not hinder Athletic Bilbao's transcendent status among Spanish clubs - the second most Copa del Rey titles (23 times), 8 La Liga titles (fourth), and a member-only club (only Barcelona, ​​Osasuna, and Real Madrid are also members-only clubs. This is mainly due to the 90s and Spain's "reform and opening up" in the 70s.

With the economy rising, every club has changed its name to a sports limited liability company, which is the common La Liga team suffix SAD). It has not been relegated from La Liga (the same as Real Madrid and Barcelona). The Spanish national team is a major contributor to the international football team (cumulative 101, third).
