Real Sociedad midfielder Markel Bergara has said that the Basque side's recent form has allowed them to approach the remainder of the season "in a calm manner".

When David Moyes took charge of Sociedad towards the end of last year, the club were struggling near the bottom of La Liga.

However, four wins from their last five games have moved Moyes's team into the top half of the table.

"I think that these last few weeks have given us a real boost towards the end of the season," Bergara told reporters. "We've taken some important steps forward in the table and that's given us a cushion to face the rest of the campaign in a calm manner."

Bergara has struggled for minutes since Moyes arrived.
