“At crucial moments, I lacked confidence”
DONOSTIA-SAN SEBASTIÁN. Not all professionals come to Real Madrid. And not everyone who manages to play 90 competitive games for the real team in two years. Still counts Asier Illarramendi no doubt to the actors of the recent real past, whose commitment should be described as a mistake and not as a success.
As the Basque, committed by Real Sociedad in mid-2013 to Carlo Ancelotti for 32 million euros, had not prevailed, he returned to his local Basque club for 15 million euros in late August 2015. But what exactly did it take? to the fact that “Illarra”, who had been chosen as Xabi Alonso’s successor, was disappointed?
“Real Madrid is another dimension, one of the best clubs in the world. When I arrived I had some injuries during the preseason, after that I did not play as well or did not show what I could have shown at the time. It was expensive for me. You are young and have a different mindset. At crucial moments, I lacked self-confidence. That was the key “said the 30-year-old Spaniard, who is still under contract in Donostia-San Sebastián, in a conversation with YouTuber Ibon Zugasti.

“From the head I would now be more capable for Madrid”
When Illarramendi signed at La Concha Espina, he was 23 years old. According to his own statements, that obviously did not help him succeed at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium either. “From the head I could now play there. Madrid is a different world. To play there you have to stand out in every way.”he emphasized.

Incidentally, the captain of “la Real” is currently healing a broken fibula and associated ankle injury, which is why he hasn’t played a game since late August. Therefore, Illarramendi missed both appearances as a guest of his team at the Bernabéu this season. In the league it was a 1-3 defeat, in the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey a 4-3 success emerged. Now he is in the final against Athletic Bilbao. Due to the consequences of the crown pandemic, it remains to be seen if and when it will take place.
