Agirrezabala, the goalkeeper of the Cup and others

The goalkeeper of the Cup and so on because who knows what may happen in the future. It is clear that if Unai Simón has no injury or suspension, he will be the goalkeeper of the League. It should also be noted that Murgia has a low peak. But wait, none of the three options I want for the Spanish international, far from it.

In Alzira, Agirrezabala is the starting goalkeeper and, by the way, with some interventions of some merit. In Sestao, the one from Rentería also aims to act as a starter. He said he didn’t know anything.

First, because Simón, due to the World Cup, may not even be there to be a substitute (although knowing his commitment, they are not removing him) and second, because Valverde wants to provide continuity and, above all, confidence in his second goalkeeper. What happens when more committed rounds come? (As long as the Sestao River is not surprised, don’t release it either because the people from Aitor Calle will come out). Good question.

All the discontinuance of Agirrezabala for me will be a surprise. Marcelino already did this in the previous edition, Valverde already chose Herrerín ahead of Iraizoz in the 2014-15 edition, an edition in which Athletic reached the final who became the replacement goalkeeper in the Liga. For this reason, I think Valverde will hand the Cup to Julen. Now, I insist, I will give the Cup to what you think is your best goalkeeper. Regardless of whether he is playing in the League or not.

Agirrezabala won

The truth is that I have a feeling that there is a desire for Agirrezabala in San Mamés. Cathedral already showed this last season when in the first leg of the Cup quarterfinal against Valencia it mentioned his name. This does not mean that you want to remove Unai Simón from the center, far from it. But let’s say that a possible departure from the Murgia goalkeeper will not be traumatic for the rojiblanco fan, like one from Nico Williams or Sancet.

Unai Simón is a goalkeeper and I want him to continue at Athletic. Now, I don’t know if that will be consistent with Agirrezabala’s continuation. What is clear to me is the ability that an Athletic goalkeeper must possess. With all due respect to Ezkieta, who has been the substitute goalkeeper in recent seasons, or Ander Iru, third in the current squad. Renteria’s man has the level to push Simón, in a good way, and I don’t think Valverde can doubt a good performance in the Cup, but if Simón gets confused, his teammate can take advantage of the opportunity.

I know it sounds like football fiction and it’s impossible now, but who knows what the future might hold. Can you imagine the two of them in the Spanish team at the command of Luis de la Fuente? Well, don’t release it either. The same is true that I will come up, but it is a reflection that I want to share.

It was nice to see Agirrezabala stop, it was nice to hear Agirrezabala speak. The silence he sent to the goal also makes the media clear. It is a month in which he will turn 22, but the truth is that the sense of maturity seems to indicate that he is older. Those who know him say that he is a very well-rounded person, that he has a good environment which is often said in these cases. And that is very important. I wish I could hide it. It wouldn’t be a thing on any other Thursday.
