LaLiga has scheduled Athletic’s matches in San Mamés against Sevilla and Betis on Thursday at ten o’clock. A very late schedule that will definitely affect field attendance as the next day is a work day. Yes was critical of this decision on Wednesday and today Valverde he is also positioned on the same line as his player. “Playing on Thursday doesn’t matter to me. The problem is that schedule, you start the game one day and finish it the next. I understand that football is like a goose that lays golden eggs, that you have to take advantage of it very much. It’s done more for people who watch it at home on TV than for people who go to the countryside. From a social point of view, I couldn’t finish watching a game at ten o’clock. The same in the summer because it’s so hot… People have to work the next day. It doesn’t seem to me that from a social point of view it’s right to put in one game out of ten. Nine seems like the limit to me, that’s enough “, he pointed out.
The other negative event that his team will suffer is the longer recovery time that Betis will have for the clash that corresponds to matchday 32 that will be held on May 4. The Verdiblancos will play two days before Athletic, on April 29 at the Camp Nou (9:00 p.m.). The lions visit Mallorca on the 1st (7:00 pm). “It seems wrong to me, what can I say. If it’s the other way around, Betis will also complain. On the subject of breaks, schedules…, we all look for ourselves and don’t realize that there are differences. I think Betis will have reasons later. The sun has affected us at Osasuna, but that’s how it is. We want to go to the competition and for it to be the same for everyone, but the way things are complicated”, said Txingurri.
