There is no doubt that the match at home to Granada is crucial, not only because the next round will usher in the Basque derby against Athletic Bilbao, but also because of the special match in Moyes's coaching career: before the game, many fans expressed the proposal to change the head coach on the club's official website, and although the club's president Stephen Hawk and sporting director Hunt verbally expressed their support for Moyes, they still vaguely expressed a hint that the club was very dissatisfied with the team's results.

Speaking to the media, Moyes refused to resign: "I will lead Real Sociedad until the end of the season, when his contract expires", but at the same time he admitted that the team's performance was not up to par: "The players need to improve and so do I. ”

San Sebastian's local journalist Vasco was skeptical of Real Sociedad's tactics, accusing the newspaper that "every time this team takes a step forward, they have to take two steps back, and they play like it's all about feeling, not like it was set up clearly before the game." ”

The players also appeared to express their frustration with Moyes, with local media claiming the dressing room was tired of the Scottish way of coaching, that the players did not understand his direction and that he had been nicknamed Muffin.

David Moyes is embattled for midweek.

Agusli asked the players of the B team to watch the game as usual, and Qu Jing was surprised that such a game that was not crucial attracted nearly 70% of the attendance, except for a few Granada fans, the stadium was full of Real Sociedad's blue and white sword stripes, and the two Chinese characters "Qianbao" on the front of the jersey were also very conspicuous.

Against a modest Granada, Moyes once again used a new line-up, this time pushing Aguirreche and Jonathan up front:

Real Sociedad line-up: 4-4-2

Goalkeeper: Oyer

Defenders: Martinez, Reyes, de la Bella, Erostordo

Midfielders: Vella, Canales, Granero, Ilia Ramendi

Forwards: Aguirreche, Jonathan

Subs: Zurutusa, Prieto, Berziche, Pardo, Bruma, Bardagui, Gonzalez

Granada squad list: 4-2-3-1

Goalkeeper: Andrew

Defenders: Biraghi, López, Doria, Baban

Midfielders: Marx, Corsin, Rosina, Mendes, Saxes

Forward: Al-Arabi

Subs: Ruiz, Kolava, Tijevi, Lomban, Rick, López, Robert

The two teams with two points on the same two points are difficult to draw on the big screen before the start of the game, and it is not surprising that the two teams with two points are at the bottom of the standings.

After the opening kick-off, Granada put on a defensive stance, their double back Marx and Corsin dragged unusually far back, and the left and right wing-backs Mendes and Saxes were not active in the front, leaving only Rosina and Arabi roaming in the front end, looking very unenterprising.

Real Sociedad was imposing in the cheers of the home fans, and De la Bella and Canales on the left side of the opening game caused problems for each other in a row, and the quality of the crosses after two consecutive breakthroughs was very high, but unfortunately the players who received in the middle did not get too good a chance to shoot, which caused a burst of regret from the fans on the spot.

Qu Jing watched the performance of the Real Sociedad players from the sidelines, and he found that Canales did not seem to be used to playing on the left side, because Agureche and Jonathan were very closely defended by the Granada players, except for crosses, they could hardly find a good passing route, and for him, who was not good at strong bursts, he would deliberately delay every time he got the ball, either to cooperate with Vela on the pass, or to pass the ball back to Ilya Ramendi and De la Bella. After two quick forwards in a row, Canales, who had no space on the left, always tried to lean into the middle, leaving a huge hole in the left defence.

The Granada players apparently noticed this, and when there were counter-attacking opportunities, they kept passing the ball to Mendes and Biraghi on the right by diverting: in the 13th minute, Biraghi, Rosina and Mendes made a simple wall-hitting combination on the right side, and it seemed that the defensive absent-minded Canales did not follow, and a diagonal pass from Rosina was handed to Biraghi, who was cutting forward at high speed. De la Bella barely managed to catch up and kicked the ball to centre-back Martinez, who looked careless and stopped the half-high pass a little wide, and the agile Biraghi followed up two steps to get forward and intercept the ball from behind Martinez.

The ball slid from goalkeeper Oyer, who had come up to block, and slid into the net.

1:0。

The fans in the stands began to boo, and Oyer stood by the goal, shaking his head, with a helpless look on his face, then turned to pick up the ball from the goal and kicked it into the center circle. Martinez raised his hand to apologise and glanced at the dugout, where Moyes slammed his fist into the fence from the sidelines, clearly annoyed by the goal.

At home, conceding a goal so early somewhat affected the morale of the Real Sociedad players, under the pressure of the Granada players, Granero and Ilia Ramendi made consecutive mistakes, and launched a quick counterattack after being tackled by Rosina, striker Alabi received the ball and shook Reyes with a heavy shot, and was hit by Oyer with a single palm and then fell on the soles of Saxes' feet, Saxes crossed under the bag of Martinez and Reyes, and comfortably handed it to Corsin, who chose to shoot in the face of the incoming ball, but unfortunately did not eat the right part on his feetThe ball drew an exaggerated parabola and smashed heavily into the stands on the right side of the goal.

There was a burst of laughter from the fans outside the stadium, and Corsin laughed out loud in embarrassment, turning his head and running back to his own half.

The media reported that Bella, who had contact with the major leagues in the United States, looked listless on the court, and he was not active as a striker who had been used as a forward, which directly caused Jonathan, Aguirreche to have a vacuum between the two forwards and him, Agureche frequently retreated to receive the ball, and there was some overlap with Vela in the position, and the two almost kicked each other with a shot at the same point at the edge of the penalty area, which caused dissatisfaction among the fans, and the whistle kept ringing on the scene.

Moyes waved his hands on the sidelines and signaled to his players to attack, but the unprecedented formation of two strikers clearly did not have the desired effect, and after Canales and Granero found Jonathan on the flanks, he barely got up to shoot without creating much of a threat, but allowing Granada to play another counter-attack.

In the 37th minute, Corsin, who took the ball on the side, gently picked the ball to Saxes under the defense of Granero, and after dribbling a few steps forward, he crossed under the bag of Ilia Ramendi and Erolastondo, and the ball flew to the goal under the struggle of Ilia Ramendi.

2:0。
