Athletic deservedly beat Elche on Sunday. The rojiblancos had many arrivals in the rival area and shots on goal, but they lacked the goal. It’s no use comforting yourself at times when the most important thing is missing. A match cannot be considered good when the ball does not enter the opponent’s goal. You don’t win on merit, but on goals, the structural deficit this team has. And the worst is that there is no solution in sight because Bilbao Athletic has the same problem.
The data is very conclusive. The Bilbao team remained scoreless in 10 of the 19 games played at San Mamés. So it is very difficult to achieve the goal. The same can be said for the poor run that has been going on in the last seven days, with only 4 points added from a possible 21.
Valverde He had bad luck in the physical section in the past few days. It is not a season with many injuries, but unfortunately they focus on the final stage of the League, when everything is at stake. Losing two starting centers has done a lot of damage in recent days as well Nico Williams He is paying off the effort of a very long campaign with the World Cup involved. Little more could be asked of the youngest legend. The team relied heavily on him in many games. This is to give him the ball and wait for him to leave the sidelines on duty.
Qualifying for Europe went through a carambola and a victory at the Bernabéu, but what was really strange was that the team reached the last day alive.
