Real Sociedad, more commonly referred to as La Real are easily one of the top sides in the Spanish top flight, and they play their home matches at the Reale Arena, which has a capacity of 39,500.
La Real is currently managed by Imanol Alguacil Barrenetxea whose preferred formation of either 4-2-3-1, 4-3-3 or 4-4-2 never lacks talent. The squad includes the ever-green David Silva, and one of the most sought after strikers in the game, Alexander Isak.
They have recently acquired the services of Rafinha Alcântara (Thiago Alcântara's brother) and Alexander Sørloth, while Modibo Sagnan and Willian José have left the club on loan deals.
Real Sociedad: Tactics, Principles
As mentioned, Imanol Alguacil plays with either 4-2-3-1, 4-3-3, or 4-4-2, and during the build-up phase, either the single-pivot or one of the double pivots enters the defense to form a back three.
The full-backs then move higher, allowing La Real’s wingers to drop deep into midfield or position themselves narrowly in the half-space between full-back and center-back. One of Sociedad’s assets is their ability to dominate space in the opposition half, and that is how they win games or frustrate their opponents into draws.
Alguacil’s team is often fluid in their movement and rotation, while keeping the aforementioned mobility between the lines. Additionally, wide players are encouraged to position themselves in the channels or spaces between defenders to create runs for through balls in behind. These rotations confuse the opponent as to who to press and mark.
