There are several incentives: the return of the prodigal son, Iraola; the day and time, Saturday at nine o’clock in the evening; but above all the fun game of Valverde’s team. Game also supported by results.
Red and white fans are not stupid. When you give them a team, they give it back to you multiplied by a thousand, especially now in the animation stands that accommodate a lot of youngsters. And this Athletic hooks.
Ernesto Valverde’s version 3.0 lasts. He has always been a coach who likes to dictate games, but in this third period we find his most offensive version. Maybe his time at ‘Camp Barca’ sharpened the attacking character or maybe what we’re seeing is a studied ‘bacaladera’ strategy so far ineffective. In any case, you’re welcome.
The aim is to play in Europe next season, but if this is not achieved, it will always be easier to excuse a team that pursues the opposite goal from start to finish than one that pursues the game only in pursuit and exclusively in result. The danger is always there, and if not ask Berizzo who also tried something similar and the results dragged him down.
Playing five guys with a marked offensive profile isn’t easy to put together in a structure that balances that size. Four goals conceded is a small price to pay for this football bet. Without going into that the four were due to specific individual mistakes, not due to a planning problem.
great team level
The good form of many players increases the level of the group. After each game we highlight a series of names and there are more and more. If at the beginning of the season we highlighted the central defenders and Vesga, today we cannot avoid mentioning the excellent performance of Dani García in the last two games, with the assist. From 10.
De Marcos has played less and is now the only outfield player to play every minute. Lekue managed to keep us from losing Yuri, and that was a lot. Muniain shined even more and against Rayo he started looking for gaps.
Berenguer continues to be sweet and remains the top scorer. Sancet grows with each game and on top of the contributing ‘codfish’. Iñaki Williams just scored a goal that would have been signed by any of the three best strikers in the world.
Nico, his brother, dares to do more things every day and the confidence translates into targets. To these we must add the contribution that Ander Herrera and the rest of the red-and-white bench can give.
