Real Sociedad's complaints about the time of the match against Sevilla: "To no one's surprise"
Sevilla already know when they will visit Real Sociedad in two weeks. Pimienta's men will play at Anoeta on Sunday 9 March at 9pm in the match corresponding to matchday 27 of LaLiga EA Sports. A time that has not pleased the Basque club at all, which has already publicly expressed its discontent with the last shift this season on several occasions.
LaLiga has announced all the schedules for matchday 27 this Sunday and Real Sociedad has immediately responded to the post on social media with the following statement: "To no one's surprise."
This is not the first time that the San Sebastian club has shown its disagreement with the imposed schedules. In fact, Take Kubo surprised us with his statements last month, when his team beat Villarreal at home: «I am very happy, really very happy. Despite playing on a Monday, after the scheduled time, all this shit that has happened to us, people continue to support us , 20,000 people on a Monday at 9:00 p.m. If I had been a fan, I might not have come. Thank you very much for all the people who have come and those who have supported us on TV. This victory is for the fans,» said Take in the interview on the pitch.
Real Sociedad consider that the 9pm time slot penalises the fans, but also the team. The San Sebastian side will have the return leg of the Europa League round of 16 against Manchester United this week. A match that will take place at Old Trafford on Thursday 13th at 9pm.
In this way, the San Sebastian team does not stop playing match after match every three or four days, in addition to playing in LALIGA most of the time on Sundays at 9:00 p.m., something that according to Imanol Alguacil "nobody understands." "I don't know what's happening with our schedules. I can only thank those who come, since many of them get up early the next day," said the coach after the match against Leganés last weekend.
