The good present of the Gipuzkoan goalkeeper makes the Navarrese uneasy
The good performances of the goalkeeper Alex Remirocould be overshadowed by an old acquaintance in the Real society. And not precisely from the same squad or from another club, but from team B that is in LaLiga Smartbank. There is the Gipuzkoan Andoni Zubiaurrewho has been doing very remarkable performances.
The gatekeeper of 25 years has removed the title to Gaizka Ayesa, who had a series of physical complications. Zubiaurre has responded very well in his relief, and in Sunday’s game against the palmswas one of his best exhibitions since defending the three suits of the donostiarra club. the praise of Xabi Alonso they couldn’t miss.
Zubiaurre is projected to renew with Real Sociedad and be close to Álex Remiro
The contract of the ex-canterano donostiarra expires next summer, and if his performance continues like this or better, there will be no doubt that his renewal is assured. The goalkeeper has been a starter in the last six games, and although he has recorded 4 defeats and 2 draws, his performances are the least positive in Xabi Alonso’s tactical scheme.
It is clear that talent is something that Imanol Alguacil will always want to highlight in his team, and if he has it at his fingertips, he will take it. For this reason, not only is the renewal with the San Sebastián entity at stake, but one more opportunity in the absolute team. It should be noted that Zubiaurre has been called up to Real Sociedad, but has never made his debut.
Will 2022 be the year Zubiaurre makes his debut with Real Sociedad?
As it may be in this same season, it may also be in the next course. Everything depends on the goalkeeper himself, who grew up on Sunday against Las Palmas and didn’t let the rival beat the goal. The coach’s confidence has been key for the player to feel comfortable and at the same time safe under the three sticks from San Sebastian.
Although Remiro’s performances with the first team have been good, a teammate like Zubiaurre would be the best for them to complement each other. In that order of ideas, Imanol Alguacil could have a squad of 3 goalkeepers, or simply release Mathew Ryan, who has only played 3 league games.
