Carlos Gurpegi He presented himself today as the new coach of Bilbao Athletic for next season. Navarrese takes the reins of the second team with the main objective, to train the players for Athletic, but it has not escaped anyone that recovery in the First Federation is a goal marked in red so that the distance to the elders is less. “I start with great enthusiasm, looking forward to this new step that I am taking in my career and above all with a great desire to deliver to the men, who almost all know me, the enthusiasm and desire, that they know the club. well in that they are trying to remove the sparks from them so that the distance between Bilbao Athletic and the first team is as short as possible, both tactically and technically. This is what we are for”, turo he in the Lezama press room.
The coach sets goals. “We come from a very complicated and tough League with relegation in between, but it is clear to me that my goal is for the players in my hands to arrive well prepared and in the best possible conditions ‘t is possible for the first team. I don’t think it matches the results. Training and results go hand in hand. If we can get the players closer to their best performance and improve them, it will give us a performance for at the end of the week in the form of results”, he added.
“If we can’t get guys to reach their best level and be close to their best level, the results are definitely not going to be good. That’s it for us. To achieve that, to bring the players closer to their best top form, if we achieve this, it will give us the opportunity to be close to promotion and regain the category, which is very important for the club”, he acknowledged.
The goal of getting a promotion can be an added pressure. gurpegi recognize it. “I am clear that we are going to be required to be at the top, there is a team that was directly promoted and four were promoted. I hope we are the only ones to go up. I’m not worried about the pressure of results, it’s something I’ve lived with for a long time. The only thing that worries me and will put me to sleep is that the players we hire in July are better players and people in May, have Athletic values and bring them closer to the first team. I will never get tired of saying that we are here so that the distance to the first team is as short as that of Bilbao Athletic”.
gurpegi He is now in charge of Athletic’s second men’s team. What is your personal project as a coach? “I don’t think much anymore. My career as a coach started two years ago at Imanol de la Sota. That I followed my path is thanks to him. I will tell you that all I want is to enjoy going to Lezama, get sparks in the kids and I am more concerned about the future of 22 than my future as a coach. I think of nothing more than coaching Bilbao Athletic and the players that have passed through my hands are in the first team or in professional football. I don’t think much more,” he said.
