A mix of hope for Athletic

Let us not deceive ourselves. It’s still hard, but if Bordalás ’staff lift the title we’ll be sad, trying to find incentives for the League end and almost take the course.

Betis ’victory gives the reds and whites a chance to aim for seventh place. Another thing is they can wipe out, in five days, that difference of 4 points against a complete Villarreal. Sixth place, 6 points away, I still don’t see as viable, no matter how complicated Real’s schedule is. I hope I’m wrong.

Relying on third parties may not seem like the best option to achieve your goal, but things will come when they come. Thousands of athleticzales sat in front of the television on Saturday to push Betis. Not because Valencia is Athletic’s executioner, which could be the same, but because the success of Pellegrini’s staff was the only result that mattered to the Lions. By the way, Marcelino seems to have forgotten in the press room in Nuevo Mirandilla when he was asked who he would be with on the big KO date.

The sensations sent by the team do not provide very optimistic. If in 33 days he has not maintained the regularity that a European team needs, why should we trust that they can erase him in the last five? Because this is the Athletic Club. No more and no less.

When he had a chance to reach the table and make a quantum leap in the rankings, he failed. However, when all seemed lost and the easiest thing was to let go, it rose from its ashes. After Celta’s scuffle, Marcelino’s staff had the self-respect to win in Cádiz and avoid, if possible, the conversation about Ibiza, which was exhausting.

The second part the team signed with Tacita de Plata put it in the locker room as punishment until they stopped shouting. In any case, the points went up in the locker and are now 48 for 52 of the yellow submarine.

The milkmaid’s fees

Making cabals at this point seems very complicated. With 15 points left to play, Athletic need to get 4 more than Villarreal because the average goal is in favor of the botxo team. It seems like a pipe dream to get 27% more points than your opponent serves, but it’s football and nothing is impossible. We will all change for Emery, even without his involvement in Europe, but the cards have already been given. The goal is to make it whole and then cross your fingers

The rojiblancas accounts will start this Saturday with Atlético de Madrid, who are playing for their Champions League presence, or at least, the runner-up. The good thing about Simeone’s staff visit is that Marcelino doesn’t have to waste time motivating his staff for a week. This comes as standard. This is enough to prepare for tactical combat. In Wanda two very important points are escaped. I hope it doesn’t happen again because everyone who doesn’t add tres by three is already giving your sword to Villarreal.

Valencia and Osasuna will come after the mattresses and they will travel to Granada, whose safety is at stake for those from Karanka, and Seville, probably with a Champion area on the run.

Unai Emery’s team, in addition to fighting continental with Liverpool to reach the Champions League finals, has, a priori, three complex games: Sevilla and Real Sociedad at their stadium and away from Barca. You also have to visit Gasteiz and Vallecas, but they seem to be easier outings in theory. The first is because Alavés has almost been sentenced and the second because it has already sealed its stay in the first. Whatever they do, Athletic are forced to find 15 points and wait. No other.
