Andoni Zubizarreta said in a video broadcast by the rojiblanco club itself this week that “I think Ángel is a reference on the field, but he is also a reference in football and in life. The history of Athletic can be written by those its goalkeeper”.
Iribar, Angel for friends, responded to Zubi emphasizing the importance of “continuing that chain. Here the figure of the goalkeeper is always given a lot of importance. Our intelligent fans always appreciate the footballer who covers on purpose. I felt it from the beginning and it has always been like that. Therefore, it is important to do special work on this matter because it is something useful”.
The number 1 par excellence of the Bilbao club continues his dissertation by saying “fortunately today in Lezama we have a phenomenon like Peio Agirreoa, a great observer who dominates everything related to the goal. Very good. One also a very discreet person. So the future of that side is assured. The young goalkeepers see that influence coming through. They have been well selected and worked well. There is a great work behind. It is important that this chain between the football of the past and the present one is not broken”. Let’s see if anyone pays attention, even if not by hand but by computer.
