Athletic just lacked the precision and finesse in the last quarter of the field to end a good game in Villamarín. The rojiblancos, largely oblivious to the competitive break forced by the World Cup, entered the game heavily embroiled in controversy. His first 45 minutes were commendable, with a strong rhythm and looking for a rival in the opposite field.
those of Valverdewith a medullary in which they first appeared Daniel Garcia Y vesga together, they nullify the creativity of channels Y fekir, effectively deactivating the verdiblanca engine room. Athletic was bossy throughout the first half, supported by the solidity of its two central defenders (Yes Y They lived), with the hit sucking bench, how long will we see each other?
A pity that in reaching the edge of the place of Rui Silva, maybe due to the rain or the lack of precision in the final pass or goal shot, the rojiblancos did not turn their dominance into a solid advantage on the scoreboard. In fact, they kicked ten times -more than the Sevillians-, but none of their shots found the goal.
Betis had a twenty minute reaction at the start of the second half, raising their performance, but this was countered by Valverde with a look from the bank of holy, Raoul, Zarraga Y Berenguer, which rebalanced in shock. Simón was also successful, with three decisive interventions.
In the end, a well-deserved point and a positive return to competitive dynamics before the break. Some decisive weeks will come at the beginning of the year, with the Cup in Eldense and the league fighting for three points against Osasuna, Real Sociedad and Real Madrid, almost nothing, listen.
THE CALENDAR DOESN’T WAIT
To catch a league run
Athletic returned from the World Cup break engaged in work, in shape and focused on continuing the fight for Europe. The calendar waits for nothing. Leaving aside the dangerous cup match in Elda, the rojiblancos have Osasuna, Real Sociedad, Real Madrid and Celta to close the first round. Navarros and Madrid, in Bilbao. With six points we continue the match. Seven perfect.
