Omonia (2-1), Espanyol (2-1), Girona (5-3), Sheriff (2-0) … Manchester United at Old Trafford before losing 2-1 to Getafe. United beat them 1-0 and Sociedad are on a good run with five wins in their last six games. One of the reasons for this is Takefusa Kubo, who also participated in the starting line-up for this match, which welcomed his former club Villarreal, who was enrolled in the first half of the 2020-21 season. He is, as usual, leading the top two with Sullot in a 4-4-2 midfield diamond.
Sociedad overwhelmed Villarreal in the first half. The technical team of Svimendi, Bryce Mendes, Mikel Merino, Silva and Kubo kept the ball in their possession and kept Unai Emery’s men in their own half. Unlike his time at Villarreal, Kubo continues to play with a smile on his face and a state of irresistible enjoyment. Also, in the 21st minute, just like the match once morest Espanyol, he pressed the opponent’s goalkeeper with a ferocious press and showed aggressive defense that touched the ball, albeit slightly.
Sociedad scored the first goal in the 32nd minute. From the flow of the CK, when M. Merino sent a floating ball to the left of the area in front of the penalty area, B. Mendes slid in and shook the net.
In the second half, Villarreal tried to change the course of the game by bringing in Morales, but the development of Sociedad’s dominance remained unchanged. In the 51st minute, Kubo broke through the left flank and sent a cross.
In the 73rd minute, Immanol dropped Silva and Surlot and brought in Cho and Carlos Fernandez. After that Sociedad used Kubo as a chance maker and Cho and Carlos Fernández tried to score more but were unable to score. In the 80th minute, Immanol replaced Aritz and B. Mendes with Turientes and Les Normans on the pitch, and in the 87th minute, Navarro replaced Kubo as the final substitution card. Although Kubo was unable to increase his number of 2 goals and 3 assists, his aggressive and resolute attitude in both offense and defense, and his high level of skill and boldness that did not know what he would do next impressed the hearts of the people. As he walked off the pitch, he received a standing ovation and the call of ‘Koobo! Kubo!’
Sociedad defended Toranoko’s 1 point in the final am and achieved 5 consecutive wins in the official match. La Liga have won three games in a row and moved up to sixth place with 16 points.
