The first weeks of preseason and the first three summer preparation meetings are already history at Real Zaragoza 2025/2026. First steps for the set led from the bench by Gabi Fernández and made from the offices by Indian Txema, who is being one of the great protagonists of the summer for his extensive work both in the plot of arrivals and in the exits. The lion team is still very green, in diapers as they say colloquially, and although the first conclusions can be taken out that two weeks after the beginning of the real fire there is a lot to do. Both at the tactical level and as regards the clothing of the template. And without going any further and despite the suffered victory, this Saturday in the municipal of Tarazona The blanquillos were seen the seams.
The ghosts of the past
Those same seams that this Saturday came out are the same as, a handful of months ago and in the end of the last campaign, they led him to fight for the permanence against the Eldense practically until the last breath. As they know well, they are the ease of fitting, defensive fragility and lack of forcefulness in their area, especially in the ball stopped, something that was constantly reflected in the skirts of Moncayo this August 2.
Those of Juanma Barrero, with a direct and simple football – and it is also possible to say through a more made team and that has been giving many joys to the Turiasonesonses in recent years in the 1st RFEF – they knew how to dry the main strengths of the Zaragozano team, especially its bands and the promising connection on the left with Tasende and Sebas Moyano. Pau Sans also, always vertical on the right, blurred more than other days. In short, Tarazona was better in several phases of the party and showed that there is no abyss between the real level of both sets.
To this was added the lack of creativity of Real Zaragoza inside and in which the rear, among cotton, showed weaknesses. Without going any further, Alexander Radovanovic debuted with the wasp this Saturday but was not the best of his nights. He was seen dubitative, unfortunate and, for more inri, he had to be replaced to rest after a bad footprint that left him a rekoled ankle. In addition, the decline of Juan Sebastián (with knee discomfort in the last hours) and the gap with which Poussin had to be replaced in the 3rd party, did not contribute either. Nor was Tachi especially successful.
As anecdotal data, Gabi’s team came to form with Obón, Facchin, Borge, Saidu and Barrachina during the last 15 ‘in defense. The five of the subsidiary in the absence of troops who are the punctual circumstances of the preseason but also a notice to navigators.
Nursing and players to arrive
In a first half to forget, the alarms jumped in a Real Zaragoza with a serious face and circumstances (this was reflected by Indias and Fernández from the stands and the bench respectively) after having to be forced to give replacement to Poussin, Keidi Bare and Radovanovic after different misfortunes. The keeper, with a gap, does not jeopardize the league but it remains to be seen that will happen with the Albanian midfielder (again with knee discomfort) and also with the Serbian and his ankle.
Even with everything, and with a month of market ahead, Txema Indias already knows what Real Zaragoza is and what the competition will demand. Strengthen the center of the rear, look for a pivot of guarantees and perhaps also a creative midfielder. From there, the arrival of another end and perhaps a striker (if Bakis comes out) could make the quality leap to a team that, for now, is still looking for its course.
