Valverde surprised locals and strangers alike at the start of the season by fielding Sancet, Vesga and Muniain to play in Athletic’s midfield with Nico Williams and Berenguer usually on the wing and Iñaki Williams as a winger. The two Navarrese joined the triangle completed by the Gasteiz player without major problems and the rest of the team worked at a good level. Surprisingly, the rojiblanco coach maintains the same commitment inside and outside of San Mamés.
The course of the championship produced various alternatives for this initial trio. Dani García, for example, took Vesga’s position in certain matches. Ander Herrera also had moments.
The improvement the latter has experienced since his late arrival from PSG has meant that the competition in the middle of the field has tightened. Valverde has already chosen to remove Muniain from the trivote against Getafe to put again on the left wing, he chose Vesga and Herrera himself with Zarraga leading the Camp Nou and against Villarreal and Girona he pulled Raúl García. Everyone starts except the Winner.
