Agirretxe Happy With Confidence Shown In Him

Imanol Agirretxe has admitted he is "very pleased" with the recent confidence shown in him by Coach Lillo. Agirretxe hasn't had the best of times and nearly 4 years after he made his debut for the first team, its only now that he is getting more action after constantly being overlooked by previous managers. When he joined the club he found himself battling for a striker berth with Nihat and Kovacevic but after that he found himself watching from the sidelines. Indeed under Coleman's reign last season he only made two appearances in the first team. This season started in the same vain as Coach Lillo's preffered front two was Iñigo Díaz de Cerio and Necati Ates but the bad injury to de Cerio has meant chances in the first team has been more frequent especially since Necati has failed to score the goals expected of him. He now has two goals for the season with the goals coming against Castellón and Cordoba and with Real Sociedad desperate for a goalscoring striker and promotion, four years after his debut there has never been a better time for him to cement a place in the first eleven and I for one hope he does. Another goal in the weekends game against Rayo Vallecano would be the perfect tonic.
