I admit it: there are players who, for whatever reason, touch your little rojiblanco heart, and Balenziaga is one of them. He was not the star, even though he himself never considered himself the undisputed starter, but he had something. He was not a wall in defense, nor did he make great centers, nor was he characterized by his class or his good touch; I don’t even have a goal, but this is one of mine.
He lost hope in his opponent, he subdued him by running and persevering, he left everything on the field, he did not give up his effort – whether successful or not – until the final whistle. He is one of me, of us, of those who sweat in rojiblanco. Example of love of colors, of nails, of effort, of friendship, of a good kind. tree
The image of his teammates surprising him in the locker room after his first goal against Sevilla or the delivery of the “Golden Ball” a few hours ago under the joke of the Golden Ball is a good example of his character and how he loved in the locker room. His emotional words in announcing his farewell speak of a noble and grateful man.
Hopefully he will continue to be linked with Athletic for many years to come. He is one of the maintainers of the rojiblanco thread.
