00:01I so far, what we're seeing on the pitch, they've made some good decisions in the market.
00:05None more so than Aubameyang.
00:07We're underway. Real Sotidae kicking from right to left.
00:11It's been a great day in San Sebastian.
00:15You wouldn't be shocked if you saw Rain pitch in good condition.
00:17That's one of the things that the long international break that Bottoms said.
00:22Look, I've never been injured this long in my life before, but don't worry, while I'm away,
00:26Big Bill, Bonesongo, he said, he's like two or three players.
00:30Yeah, he'll do the work of two players.
00:35Well, they're keeping possession at the moment.
00:36Soriano sends it back.
00:39Here's Jimenez.
00:42Villarez.
00:43This is a team that has looked a little bit milky at times, and he is full of fire, full
00:47of leadership.
00:50Technically, pretty good with his feet.
00:52He's a popular man already.
00:55Vidalgo worked such a miracle last season, as you say.
00:58For a good part of the first half of the season, you would never have put your heart on Viva
01:05being in the shake-up at the end of the campaign.
01:07They looked in danger.
01:09Yep.
01:12Well, it's two seasons since they were playing third division football, so...
01:16How confident, Pete, they've looked.
01:20Soriano.
01:24The reason I said at the beginning that, I think, in the European competition didn't go well,
01:29home to Bournemouth.
01:35Ended in defeat.
01:36One of the games win.
01:40Soriano.
01:47And here's Jimenez.
01:52Mario Soriano.
01:55Right, Edi.
01:58And towards Luzmi Cruz.
02:07Clicked into space, but that will run through to Ramiro.
02:12Size.
02:13Size from Nijslander.
02:16He came off the bench and was booked twice, which lost his composure, lost his temper.
02:22And you mentioned Geddesh's mobility.
02:24It's often Zakarian who steps into, more often than not, steps into that centre-forward territory
02:28when Geddesh is not there.
02:36Right, Edi.
02:39Polish on the 21 international.
02:42He started the season
02:45as a first team, as a first team starter.
02:49The rival of Jimenez changed that.
02:52High block, because they're not pressing Lareal as they try to bring the ball out.
02:56The mid-high block is, can they win it?
02:58Two-thirds of the way up the pitch.
03:00And then release the Cameroonian.
03:03Against a team which is hurt by injuries and should be beatable.
03:06Well, this is Zakarian, the step-over, then the cross.
03:10And turned away by Bright Edi, and that was a difficult one to clear.
03:19Soler threads that into Suchic.
03:21It's cleared by Bright Edi.
03:24Vilinsonga.
03:25So the assistant did well there.
03:30Or did the right thing, at least we can see.
03:34As did Zakarian.
03:36Yep.
03:36Willard, as if to say, where did that guy come from?
03:39Well, three seconds ago, he was standing right next to you.
03:42He was allowed to run.
03:43The header is free.
03:44It's still exquisitely tucked away, Pete.
03:46Well, he got two.
03:48Yeah.
03:48And they have looked a little bit naive.
03:50Particularly Chimo Navarro at the corner kick.
03:53Where Zakarian and John Martin combined to flummox him completely
03:57and leave the defender all on his own.
03:59That was very naive.
04:01And the amount of times the ball rebounded around him, took his strike.
04:04And the way in which Lauderdale were able to harass Deportivo La Coruña into mistakes.
04:09Neither of those will sit well with Hidalgo.
04:11And the fans will be thinking like you.
04:13Yeah.
04:13OK.
04:15Just over five minutes left in the first half.
04:17The first half that Rios, Silti, that took their time to really get into.
04:22They allowed Deportivo to dictate things in the first 20 minutes.
04:32Soler has given it away to Brightidi.
04:34He's played it forward towards Bilinsongo.
04:36But he's not going to get into the slightly been lost.
04:37He's played back to the edge of the area to Soriano.
04:44Brightidi.
04:44Soriano once more.
04:46Quagliata out wide.
04:47This would be the latter.
04:49There's your answer that I think that the ball is wide enough.
04:52I think of Leo Roman for him not to be castigated by the goalkeeping coach.
05:09We talk a lot about players' travel load and jet lag.
05:13And Bilinsongo starting the second half as the sole striker at 2-0 down and yawning.
05:18Well, one thing that Kuti...
05:24Ramiro, um, camp slightly there with the, uh, kick out.
05:30But, uh, he got the kick away.
05:34Back to the substitute, Ricky.
05:41Yaris.
05:43Soriano.
05:47Brightidi's got Quagliata on this left touchline.
05:56Back it goes to Villaris.
05:58I've just seen the Real Sociedad team across the bottom of your screens there.
06:024-4-2 nominally with Sucic and Geddes up front.
06:04But we saw lots of, um, variation on that in the first half.
06:10Particularly...
06:10Chima Navarro.
06:14Back to Ricky.
06:17Brightidi out to...
06:20Quagliata back from Soriano to Brightidi.
06:24It's patient, it's accurate, they've dominated.
06:33Mattucci warming up for Deportivo.
06:37It's from the RMI, but we've also seen the power of those who argue that it was too soon for
06:42him to be going to English football,
06:43that he could benefit from at least one, probably two, three more seasons.
06:50Well, with that in mind, uh, Mikel Ayotaba looks like he's about to come on.
06:58Soriano.
07:00Deportivo.
07:00From the Ciccino Dameron.
07:04Here's Brightidi.
07:07Down goes, uh...
07:18Soriano.
07:21Everybody who studied the tapes of Geddes knows that's what his speciality is.
07:26Lower man, helpless.
07:28Seven touches, Graham.
07:30Um, the first one...
07:31Box to box.
07:32Exquisite.
07:32No, that's proven correct, I think.
07:34VAR, I think.
07:37But effervescent, confident, scoring goals for fun.
07:41Looking as if they absolutely believe in their ability to...
07:44Sergio Gomez can turn it back to his goalkeeper.
07:47It's quite the answer who played the ball forward.
07:51Well, he got six goals last season in the promotion campaign.
07:54Soriano, eight assists as well, he's in the centre of midfield.
07:57Casador comes back.
07:58We probably see him exactly as you're pointing out.
08:00Just a little bit more advanced, more of an eight than a six.
08:06He's not the most coordinated between his synapses and his feet.
08:10Sometimes he can beat himself.
08:12But when he's on form, he's a terrifying prospect for the full-back.
08:17One thing before the game, as he was deciding how to replace the injured Aramburu.
08:25Watching.
08:28And more of a contest this time.
08:38Qualiata.
08:39Clearance from Saar.
08:42And Zubeldia is there to knock it down the line, where it's held up by Suchic.
08:47He does well there, Suchic.
08:48Has he won the foul as well?
08:49No, he hasn't.
08:50The referee pointed at the end.
08:53There's your incident, Janko.
08:55Not a surprise candidate to be involved in that.
08:57The referee said, well, at the end the ball's won cleanly well.
09:00In a few seconds.
09:02Soriano.
09:04Bright needy.
09:08Now it goes to Jensen, up against Baranacaya.
09:12Zubeldia underneath it.
09:13Pushing the back from Soriano, which he gets away with.
09:17Crowd not only unhappy to lose possession, unhappy that the crowd was pushed around by
09:21A man half his size.
09:23Back from Jensen.
09:26Something I don't like.
09:27Far on the right.
09:28Adama has come inside with the fullback.
09:30Outside, Adama needs to be there and hugging the touchline.
09:32That's where there's space for him to run in and get in the ball, because you're in the wrong position.
09:37Amatucci.
09:39Well, they're both out there, Sorori and Altimira, as you say.
09:42Altimira is now in the wide position.
09:45And it goes.
09:45That's just an absolute muddle on the right-hand side.
09:51Vaidini.
09:53Ricci.
09:58Back to Soriano.
10:01If they get the ball to him earlier, he's got more green grass to sprint into.
10:04The longer they hold off to get it to him, the better it is for one thing the team's knowledge.
10:08If they can turn Adama onto his left foot.
10:10There's a huge gap in quality between his left and his right foot.
10:14That's why they show him inside all the time.
10:15That's why he needs to be wide so he can go down the line.
10:18Easy for him to get past Gomez now.
10:20If the ball doesn't go constantly to the Catalan, then it's a big mistake by the visitors.
10:25Cross from Bright Eddy.
10:26Jensen back to Soriano.
10:34In it comes from Soriano.
10:36Headed away by John Martin.
10:37Another towering header in that same penalty area where he...
10:40Passed.
10:41Tried the Hollywood ball.
10:44Bright Eddy.
10:50Adama wants it.
10:51And the 10 men.
10:52It doesn't mean you do the simplistic things.
10:55In fact, what you do is it's more important to do the smart things, the right things.
10:59And they didn't.
11:00Forward from Soriano.
11:01But to nobody.
11:05Soriano.
11:07Into the penalty area.
11:09Headed across by Bright Eddy.
11:12Cleared by Ocheng.
11:15Ricci.
11:16Altimira.
11:17Adama wants it once more.
11:18It goes into the penalty area instead.
11:20Bright Eddy has stayed at center forward.
11:22And he got something on that, but not enough to guide it.
11:24Goal with it.
