I like Rock & Roll, and even heavy, but not too loud. I’m referring to Valverde’s passion for music and guitars and his soccer-musical comparisons. Six of the six points at stake and six goals for and two against in this mini-streak of two games won. Two similar crashes, in a schoolyard. Open, thrown into an open grave, without control. Good rock, the kind that moves the hips.
Fun for the viewer, but annoying for the technicians on the bench. On many occasions and with success. But, the problem is when you show yourself softer than allowed in the First Division, permissive, condescending, in both cases weak rival.
Two games lived on the limit, as in the Russian roulette of ‘El Cazador’, with a sweaty face, bulging eyes, a dirty handkerchief on his forehead and a bullet in the revolver barrel, which by luck and, above all, through Unai Simón’s miraculous interventions in front of Voro’s troops, he was unable to release his shot.
But the tree allows us to see the forest. Athletic are seventh, two points behind fifth. There were difficulties, I admit, but I would rather play 70% of the games with Sancet and Muniain on the pitch than Dani García and Vesga, which I would reserve for the most complex games.
Let’s also look at the positive. The Lions come into the decisive part of the calendar with all options intact, and plenty of ammunition in the chamber. There is a purpose. Sancet, Nico, Iñaki, Berenguer, Guru and Raúl give each other the scoring baton in good harmony. And at the back, Unai, Vivian and Yeray form a Bermuda triangle where many fancy forwards disappear out of sight.
