The Real Sociedad B Post

Tomy Carbonell pops up at the right end — 7.55
7.55, 1 on the scoresheet, and the specific comedy of a back-four player celebrating like somebody who does this every week. He does not, and that is exactly why the ground reacted the way it did.

A bad afternoon for Real Sociedad B against Gijón
2‑3 to Gijón, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Álex Marchal in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Real Sociedad B this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

A row about effort at Real Sociedad B
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Tomy Carbonell was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Felipe Iglesias after 2‑3, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

Lander Astiazarán gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Jon Balda beats them one at a time
Successful dribbles: 13. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Somebody else is better right now than Jon Garro
The team sheet says it in public every week until it changes. The only version of being dropped a footballer cannot argue with, and the one he takes hardest.

The plan did not have a place for Luken Beitia
Nobody at Real Sociedad B is suggesting he is out of form. The manager simply wanted somebody with a different set of qualities for ninety specific minutes, and there is nothing a player can train to fix that.
