Nico Williams was thinking of getting the barge out

Nico Williams He is focused on the Senior team and may now get the chance to play against Scotland in Glasgow, but he is already looking out of the corner of his eye at the decisive match against Osasuna on Tuesday, April 4. Just eight days from now, the second leg of the Cup semifinals will be played. A place is at stake in the May 6 title clash at La Cartuja. “I am very much looking forward to this meeting. I really want to play it, to get a pass to the final, to give athleticzales a chance. Hopefully we can bring home the Cup, get the barge out and have an amazing day because I don’t know what that is”, said the youngest in the saga in an interview with Europe Press.

Without delay, Athletic’s ’11’ would be one of the choices Valverde to receive the rojillos and return the 1-0 received in El Sadar. His speed on either side – he plays more on the right, but he’s also done it on the left – and his ability to leave the role side will be one of the keys to a happy night. graduation “My greatest virtue is one-on-one, I have to exploit that and my speed to the maximum. I think the winger type of player has disappeared. Attacking wingers have become pure wingers who play more inside, looking to cut and hit the long stick. I’m a different winger but you have to adapt and learn to play on the outside and also on the inside because football has evolved a lot, but I am very happy with the game I have”, he added .

Around your future

The player’s contract expires in 2024. His continuity is one of the keys to Athletic’s development of the future. Navarrese refers to his representative. “I am very happy to be part of this family because in the end the locker room is like a family. Tell me who knows at 20 what he wants to do with his life. I leave it in the hands of people who love me and advise me. Until now I am working to give the best to the club, to the team and to qualify for European competitions,” he said of his future.

In any case, he knows that Lezama formed him as a person and as a player: “Athletic taught me above all to be humble, believe in your people and respect everyone. Have values. We are people from home, we don’t sign anyone from outside and that is to be admired. A team has been in the First Division for so long, that it has not been relegated and qualified for European competitions with only players in house is wonderful”.

His brother Iñaki, eight years older, became his guide. The ‘9’ recently missed out on an unbroken run of back-to-back league commitments due to injury. “Being five years at a high level without missing a game, that’s all… I think people who don’t appreciate that… Not missing a game for almost five years because of a cold or because of a injury is very difficult. I think he has done spectacularly,” he admitted.
