The best phase of last season, the one that took place around this time in 2020, was brought about by the state of grace of a Alexander Isaac who is now embracing his best version again. La Real is now entrusted to the Swedish striker, who is ‘on fire’, to finally return to the path of victory and claim his place among the best in the League. With the march of Willian Jose, the realistic ’19’ has become the great offensive reference and also Imanol sees him perfectly compatible with the new signing, Carlos Fernandez, so it is foreseeable that both can play together from the beginning in the short term.
Isaac he will beat his best record in Real if he ties his fourth game in a row tomorrow against Cádiz in Anoeta. ‘Whoscored.com’ distinguished him as the second best player in the League in January after Messi because the realist made it full: he scored in the three league games in which he took part: he did not play against Osasuna, but he scored successively against Sevilla (3-2), Betis (2-2) and Villarreal in the 93 ‘(1-1). In addition, he provided assistance in the match against the Verdiblancos. The pending account is that this offensive flow that the Scandinavian is exhibiting can be translated into victories.
The end of the extraordinary streak of the first league stage came with a win in Cádiz (0-1), in which Isaac He was the hero with his ‘goal partita’. The txuri urdin were insultingly dominating the game and generated endless chances to score, but the only goal did Isaac, with excellent attendance from Adnan Januzaj. Since then, the txuri urdin have only won one game out of 11.
IsaacUnlike the first half of last season, it is the Real’s starting center forward, the one who appears in the ‘eleven’ type. Imanol has placed all his trust in him and for that reason allowed the departure of Willian Jose, which was his reference ‘9’ last year. The Swede, who in his debut campaign signed 16 goals as txuri urdin between the League (9) and the Cup (7), had a hard time finding his inspiration this season. He scored his first goal on matchday 7, in the win against Huesca (4-1), in his second game off the bench, since in the first five stakes he had started, without being able to pierce the nets despite enjoying good times. The muses have befallen him, like last year, since January and now he has already scored more goals in the league, six, than last year at this point (five).
Dortmund’s option
Imanol go to Solna perfectly compatible with Carlos Fernandez And this is how he expressed it yesterday: “It was seen the other day, when they played together. With the arrival of Carlos, competition grows and that is good news ”. It remains to be seen how both would fit into the same drawing, since the 4-3-3 of Imanol is usually untouchable and that drawing, with Isaac from ‘9’, Carlos
Fernandez it should occupy one of the two attacking bands or that of the most forward midfielder. The coach already said last week that he saw the Sevillian playing “at the third height.”
Isaac, who has scored 22 goals in 69 official matches with Real, has a contract until 2024, with a termination clause of 70 million euros. From the summer market of this 2022, Borussia Dortmund can take it for 30 ‘kilos’. For this, the player must give his consent and the German club could only sign him according to sporting interests, not financial ones.
