picspam: kaixo, erreala!
When people post about La Liga on LJ, it's generally Real Madrid or Barcelona, maybe a bit of Valencia or Atlético or Getafe (or Athletic, of course), but the other teams hardly get any attention. Which is a pity, because there are so many awesome players that would really deserve being noticed. Some good examples of players who deserve being noticed are the guys of Real Sociedad San Sebastián, also called La Real or Erreala. And because I want to ask july_v to write me some Erreala pairings, I decided to make a little spam of pics and vids to introduce some the players to you.
You might not be too familiar with Real Sociedad, but I'm sure you know at least two of their former players: Xabi Alonso and his brother Mikel Alonso! Funnily enough, they're both in this little promotional video (which, if you're interested, can also teach you how to count to seven in Euskara XD):
The following spam won't be about the Alonso brothers, but don't be sad, I'm sure you won't even miss them that much if you check out the pics and videos under the cut. ;)
First of all, you need to watch this video, which was made for the International Day of the Basque Language (Día Internacional de Euskera), because it features all the players I want to introduce and it's hilarious because the Basque players of La Real are teaching their non-Basque teammates some words in Basque (and they picked the most difficult ones for poor Antoine Griezmann XD):
Mikel Aranburu (18 February 1979, Azpeitia, Gipuzkoa), midfielder, captain.
Claudio Bravo (13 April 1983, Viluco, Chile), goalkeeper.
Gorka Elustondo (18 March 1987, Beasain, Gipuzkoa), midfielder.
Mikel González (24 September 1985, Arrasate-Mondragón, Gipuzkoa), defender.
Antoine Griezmann (21 March 1991, Mâcon, France), striker.
Mikel Labaka (10 August 1980, Azpeitia, Gipuzkoa), defender.
Xabi Prieto (29 August 1983, Donostia-San Sebastián, Gipuzkoa), midfielder.
La Real likes to party.
Once they actually celebrated a goal in a car:
And this is how they celebrated their return to the first league:
La Real also has some slash potential!
Gorka Elustondo chasing Antoine Griezmann.
They even visit hospitals together!
Claudio Bravo is calling dibs too!
And Xabi Prieto is very fond of Little Antoine as well...
Xabi also likes Gorka. ;)
As does Mikel Aranburu, see those two guys cuddling in the middle of the pic! (Those cuddling on the right seem adorable too but I have no clue who they are. XD)
Two of the many Mikels, González and Labaka.
And finally, Xabi Prieto and Mikel Labaka. Aww!
Last but not least, have this adorable advert with Mikel Aranburu and Xabi Prieto:
Hope you all enjoyed this little spam! :D And july_v, prepare yourself for requests! ;D
