“The comments about Nico Williams have more to do with moral turpitude”

Ernesto Valverde appeared today in a press conference on the occasion of tomorrow’s Liga match against Espanyol. The Athletic coach determined for the first time the elimination in the semifinal of the Cup against Osasuna. The lions were left with honey on their lips before a packed San Mamés.

“They have eliminated us and nobody wants to be left out of a competition like the Cup when we had it there. We have a game tomorrow and we cannot be put in a hole every day and regret it. We have to continue under the possibilities we have in League and tomorrow is the first step”,

Valverde maintains.

The Athletic coach hinted about the lack of respect and insults to Nico Williams on social networks that it is something “that has little to do with football. Social networks appeared to connect people, always with good intentions , but then the interpretation that was made was different. The comments about Nico correspond more to people’s moral turpitude than anything else.”

Regarding the state of mind of Nico Williams, Valverde indicated that “he is a bit affected like everyone else. We are all responsible for the elimination, each in part that touched him. He had two very clear chance, he didn’t. convert them and that’s it. It’s not Nico’s responsibility, or the goalkeeper or the central defender. It’s a great game, one of my favorites as a fan. Football is changing- new and true that we are not able to return the situations we have, from developing clearer situations, to close a play at a certain moment. We certainly have a lot to improve, but the other day there was a lot we have done well”.

The Athletic coach clarified that “like this, the next day you are touched, but tomorrow there is a game. It is a problem not to go to the final because of the illusion we have, but it is so. flatter him, nor make a drama “.
