My Take
What I admire most about Mikel Oyarzabal is his loyalty in an era when it has nearly vanished from football. He has spent his entire career at Real Sociedad, the club near his Basque hometown, and now wears the captain's armband. Over 400 appearances and 130-plus goals speak to consistency, but it is the two Copa del Rey final goals that reveal his temperament: he shows up when it matters. A university graduate too, he strikes me as a thoughtful, grounded number ten who values belonging over the spotlight. I find that quietly heroic, and I will always root for players like him.
