He got one of the smallest standing ovations ever. In a completely empty Etihad Stadium in Manchester, David Silva stepped off the field for the last time in a Manchester City shirt last July. For the form, the 34-year-old Spaniard folded to the 55,000 empty seats.
After ten seasons and thirteen prizes, Silva put an end to his period at City and went in search of a new sporting challenge. The club icon was spoiled for choice, from all over the world and clubs like Lazio, Valencia and AC Milan inquired about the midfielder’s favors. Still, Silva surprisingly chose Real Sociedad, AZ’s opponent in the Europa League on Thursday evening.
Fans didn’t know what they were hearing
Nobody in San Sebastián, home of Real Sociedad, expected him to come. Even the most optimistic of journalists and fans did not know what they were hearing. The man who became world champion, the two-time European champion who has enjoyed so much success in the Premier League, at their humble club. That was unprecedented.
In the past, big names wore the blue and white uniform of ‘La Real’. Xabi Alonso (former player of Liverpool, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich) and Antoine Griezmann (current player of FC Barcelona) had success at the club, but only became world stars after their departure.
David Silva goes the other way round and as a world star, who has already earned his spurs for a long time, comes to Real Sociedad.
