De Marcos rubs shoulders at the World Cup

Date:

Of the four Athletic players who added the most minutes in the League with Valverde on the bench, three will be at the World Cup in Qatar. De Marcos, the fourth lion, will not go to the World Cup, but he continues to fight under the orders of the coach where he settled as a right-back.

The statistics managed by the Bilbao club, where the minutes accumulated during the extension hours set by the referee on duty are not usually taken into account, place Unai Simón as the only Athletic player to have completed fourteen days of the championship (1260 minutes ). So far, the goalkeeper of the Spanish team has played everything from start to finish in the regular tournament, although last Sunday, in the Cup, he was a substitute.

The lion who has competed the longest in the League to date is Iñaki Williams. The man from Bilbao, who will defend Ghana’s colors in Qatar, played 111 minutes less than Unai Simón (1,149). The rojiblanco striker started fourteen days of the domestic tournament, but he was from start to finish in four of them.

His brother Nico has also appeared in every one of the league commitments played so far. Their participation, after all, is somewhat smaller. His share stands at 1072 minutes. The now international in Spain, in the way of Iñaki, completed only four matches in the regularity tournament and he replaced a teammate only once, because of the remaining thirteen he was from the game.

Nico Williams, however, is not climbing the Athletic drawer in terms of League minutes added so far. He is held back by one of the team’s most veterans, by far, who is in third position. This theoretical bronze in reaching the competitive break at club level given at the World Cup event in Qatar is for De Marcos with a total of 1078 minutes.

The man from Gasteiz, who took advantage of these vacation days to visit New York with Iñigo Martínez, Vesga, Lekue, Dani García and their respective partners, has so far added six more minutes in the league than to the youngest of Williams (1078). De Marcos played 13 games as a starter completing ten of them. He only started on the bench against Girona, although he came on as a substitute for Lekue in the 55th minute.

After playing the full first nine days of the League, some physical problems led to his substitution in consecutive clashes against Getafe, Barça and Villarreal. At Girona, days later, he started as a substitute, but entered the field in the 55th minute and against Valladolid he started again.
