Serena, satisfied and, above all, very quiet and eager to speak and give your vision attends Ane Etxezarreta (Beasain, 1995) to MD in Zubieta, a few days after stopping being a real player after 10 years in the team, but still wearing her colors and shield, symptom of her feeling. He wants more because “barely” has played and distributes blame in a year “obviously strange.”
He still has a contract, but in practice she is no longer the Real player. What does it feel?
Yes, to see, in the end the contract is one thing, and then what is really or not to be is something else. I don't know, I haven't assimilated it yet yet. It is true that in part yes and I am calm, but it is true that there is still time to think. I want on vacation to take a day for me and think about everything, in all these years. And assimilate it to close one stage and start another.
There are many years, many memories. What do you stay with?
I keep many things. I am very satisfied with myself for all the work I have done, everything I have been able to give. And on the other hand, the experiences I have lived here. It has been ten very pretty years. I have lived a club process in terms of resources and to be a bit more fond of professionalism. And that is very nice to grow as a person and as a professional. Obviously, those days that we won the Cup in Granada, the Zaragoza final, although the score was not the one we would like, which made us convey the fans from the beginning to the end was beautiful. The days in Zubieta, training, are many things. In the end you have to stop and think a little about it.
They are 203 games, 10 years. It is a long stage.
I value it as very positive. It is like happiness and pride of being part for so long of something that since childhood had dreamed. I am happy. In the end, it is the most beautiful thing that these 10 years can give me, which is to be able to be proud, quiet and happy.
Why do you leave?
On the part of the club there has been no interest in prolonging the contract. I understand that they did not count on me for the future project. That is the reason.
Are you leaving with grief?
I am not with sorrow. I don't know how to explain, but it is not. I am happy, calm and proud. That is what I really feel. That does not assimilate it is normal. There are many very special moments. It is something to assimilate over time.
With 29 years, 30 in August, what does it play now in your career? Do you have to close? Does it have to wait? Does it have to find a new team already?
I will continue playing football. After so long, having finished the last year with this feeling of not being able to have opportunities to demonstrate what I can be worth. What we like is to play. And I don't want to stay with that feeling. Because I, as a person and professional, deserve to leave it in a way that is enjoying and playing.
He closed the stage in the real playing the last games. Receiving the gold and brilliant badge. The word may not make makeup, but it improves that end.
Yes, makeup the end. Because I have not played practically anything. And as for football statistics, makeup. As for the personal and what you feel, the hard and negative part is there. In the end it is a year of ten. And I'm always going to stay with beautiful things. It has been a luxury to have the companions I have had. And that is what has also helped me to have that motivation. I am super grateful to them. Machine in football but it is something that I have worked. Even if they have not given me the opportunity. I was prepared, I have been available all year. It is something that deserved me.

The last game played it, but it was not the dream end. What happened there in Tenerife after it seemed that the team had revived?
The truth is that it was a game … in Tenerife, for the countryside and for many more factors, it is totally different from what we are used to. And it was not a good game, neither does mine. It is a trip that there are also things that could be better. And all that influence. That I do not justify, in the end we are the ones that go out and we have to give 100%. And that is what we always try and give it. There are games in which it does not come out. As much as we try, it does not come out. And you have to accept it.
From the outside it has seemed a strange year. What happened in the team? How do you explain a high and such a clear bass?
Of course it has been strange. There have been many things, many factors that have negatively influenced. For me a change gives you new energy, we had a very very good team. And that is what happened at the beginning. But once we started losing, I saw from the outside, I did not play the games, and saw a very tired team, especially mentally. That has been the reason why it has been such a long and negative streak. It has been a shame because we had a very very good team and to be able to do great things.
Was the team to fight for the Champions League?
I would say yes. But we have had a very long and negative streak that has cost us a lot to turn it around. And I already tell you that it is not because we did not want to, because the truth that we train very well. It was a past to see us train. I saw the team very tired during the games. It has been a pity especially for all the costumes we had and the team we had to aspire to something else.
What does that tiredness that mention?
It is a lot of intensity, a lot of work that requires you. When things do not go well, if psychologically you are not quite well it is very difficult to get that energy. When everything goes well it is easier. I think we were already tired and this year has also been very hard mentally.
Interview with Anne Etxezarreta player of the women's team of the Real Sociedad in Zubieta
Some blame the real problem of a lack of involvement of the club, others to the coach himself, and others to the locker room. Is there any kind of problem of these aspects?
It is all for me. No one can blame for everything when everyone has involvement in it. Everyone has to do their job and all parties have had something to do. As a player and having lived every hour, every day with my companions, I am very proud of them, that sure, but it is true that then there have been games in which for tiredness or whatever they have not come out as they should leave. Even sometimes I could give the feeling that we were not giving everything we could give, but I assure you 100% that has not been so.
With the coach how? He has spoken a lot, seems demanding. Hasn't it worked for not connecting with the template?
I think he made you quite clear to you. If he does not connect, it is very difficult for him to transmit everything he has to transmit. If he says it has been the case … is that he is the only one who knows what he feels, then I think he will be right and it is a shame that he could not connect. I have spent the year that I have passed, we have not been the best among us, but the truth is that I have learned a lot in football. Then there are the differences we can have, but this is like life, not with everyone you have that affinity. I keep that I have learned football and that's it. Pass who passes, I'm going to take the positive.
How do you explain to the fan who does not understand that the coach and nine players at the same time?
Well, it's hard to explain. Without justifying it, but you have the reference of male football, where contracts are much longer, and in women's football, mostly for resources, for economy and everything, contracts are smaller and overlap more with each other. That means that by the club the work has to be older, every year trying to renew. Not everything is in their hands because the players themselves also make their decisions. It is not that the players do not bet on the club or the club either by the players. It is more that we are many players, many experiences, many moments, even good and bad yields, then every year other clubs come, come the experiences you have had, the decisions you make in terms of that … it is all. But the biggest difference and the problem is usually that you have the men's football reference and it is not the same reality.
But is it sustainable for the real to make a project up with similar changes every so few summers?
I would honestly say no. If there is a project, the bet has to be on both parties, not just the players. Not only are we the players who decide and we have to make an effort by both parties. And obviously if there is no continuity of players, the project wobbles. We will have to do self -criticism on both parties, and if everything that has to be given to continue with this project is really being given.
What awaits the Real now?
I sincerely believe, and it is not a sensation only mine, which next year can be a beautiful year for the real one. The changes of airs always give that new energy. People who stay have a very solid base, good people come, and the girls who come from below are also contributing a lot. I don't know what coach will come, but surely has a lot of level, and that is what the real needs, because the real one has to be up.
Interview with Anne Etxezarreta player of the women's team of the Real Sociedad in Zubieta
Zubieta is giving a lot now, José emphasized it. Unlike before, like when you arrived, otherwise.
Yes, when I arrived I came from Oiartzun. It's what we missed, and we You saw other clubs in which they had already opted, inverted, which is what we attributed to the club. Luckily it was possible to get the second team, and right now we are already four. Now the fruits of the investment that was made are being seen. In addition, the real one, being the club that is quarry, has to be very clear that her philosophy is based a lot on that, and you have to work it, take care of it.
You, Amaiur and Lete, three pillars of the costumes. Nerea stays to lead.
Well, for me they do not stay alone, there are people who also have gallons in the team, to which people respect a lot and contribute a lot, experience too. It is very important to listen to veteran people. We have lived more things.
Nerea is going to play in the new Z7, something that you are not going to be able to local, the facilities have tried them, how are they?
They are very good, it is a luxury, I come from being in Garabide in a small wardrobe that we had no space or to sit down, and today we have a huge costume, each with its box office, some very good showers, which in the Z7 before, when we were under the stands, many times there was no hot water. It is valued a lot for what we have lived during these years.
