“We don’t put one in the rainbow.” How many times have we heard that hackneyed phrase after an Athletic match. Chance after chance was wasted and points flew by. Something similar happened in Pizjuán. 21 shots on goal and one goal. Opportunities abound.
Iñaki Williams, as a center forward and potential scorer, is known under the magnifying glass. We need to improve the success rate, that is clear, but it is not worth beating us too much or criticizing the child too much; Even his colleagues, of course.
And it is that the numbers, sometimes -I am very bad at math- clarify things. Athletic is one of the teams that shoot the most, specifically the third after Barça and Real Madrid. And all day we complain and write about the lack of success of the rojiblancos. Damn, they’re not that bad, I said! Let’s go to the figures.
It turns out that the success rate of the meringues -the best team in the world according to FIFA-, with their Benzema, Vinicius, Modric, and others is one goal every 8.1 shots on goal. That’s with a lot of pichichi Lewandowski and Dembelé, Pedri, Memphis and the rest 7.1 shots per goal. And Athletic?, you wonder. Well, rojiblancos need 8.2 shots. Scoring is not that easy for anyone. We’re not that bad, no sir.
