Álvarez sharpens Real’s defence before Tenerife test | OneFootball

Gorka Álvarez’s Real Sociedad need a reaction. Still without a league point after a 3-2 slip at Granada, they host Tenerife tomorrow at 12.00 needing to change the dynamic.

Álvarez said in his pre-match press conference that this week’s work had centred mainly on the defensive side. He thinks the team have looked good going forward, but some aspects at the back must improve.

That shift in focus comes with Real seeking their first points under the new coach. The emphasis is on tightening up without blunting their attacking threat.

Elsewhere, Eibar face Levante Badalona at Ipurua tomorrow at 19.30. The Armeras remain unbeaten after beating Espanyol at home and earning a very good draw away to Real Madrid at the Estadio Alfredo Di Stéfano.

Both fixtures arrive early in the campaign with contrasting moods, Real searching for stability and Eibar building on a solid start.
