Sociedad boss: I don’t trust Unai, He’s a wily fox & I'm tricky too
In the last weekend of LaLiga action, Real Sociedad visits Villarreal in what might be a season-defining match for both teams. With both teams now in sixth and seventh place, a win for either would be a significant step towards Europa League qualifying.
According to
Diario AS,
Real Sociedadmanager Imanol Alguacil was in excellent spirits before the encounter and found time for a little fun.
When asked about the implications for Villarreal of missing three key players such as Arnaut Danjuma, Gerard Moreno, and Yeremy Pino, Alguacil wasn't certain they wouldn't make an appearance.
“I don’t trust Unai. I know him very well. He’s a wily fox… (laughs) and I’m tricky too, I say it as a joke.”
“We came across each other a lot in the youth teams, we know each other very well. Him on the one side and me on the another, I know how he complains. He will use everything he can in order to get an advantage.”
“As always, a great manager and great team, regardless of who is on the pitch.”
Alguacil and Unai Emery have already worked together on the bench and even played together briefly at Real Sociedad. La Real leads Villarreal by a point coming into the last two games of the season, and a win for the Basques would be pivotal in their quest for
Europa Leaguequalification.
Both face difficult matches on the last day of the season, with Villarreal visiting Barcelona and La Real hosting Atletico Madrid.
