Last Wednesday, Yuri joined Athletic’s list of scorers in this League. The left-handed back, who in his six seasons as a Lion has always scored at least one goal, thus joining the ranking led by Iñaki Williams with four goals, followed by Guruzeta with three, Vesga with two and Villalibre, Sancet and Unai Gómez have one.
Many from outside Bilbao who focused on San Mamés fans, at least in a certain sector, for their insults at Greenwood or even chants of ‘A Segunda’, forgot to highlight a detail that for the most part red and white fans. may not even be noticed.
This Athletic-Getafe referee, Díaz de Mera, was the same one who, in the final match of the last League at the Bernabéu between Real Madrid and Athletic, let a violent off-ball kick from Carvajal to Yuri himself as yellow. The pictures of that unsporting incident are almost meaningless. The request for punishment for the merengue side, even less.
Resignation
Both the defender and the club itself handled the matter with resignation and did not raise their voices, although their discomfort was palpable. Valverde, in fact, did not count on the help of Zarautzarra until the third day of this League.
“Due to the persistence of the player’s symptoms due to the contusion sustained in the last LaLiga match against Real Madrid (June 4), relevant complementary tests were carried out on our player Yuri Berchiche, where he showed fracture in the proximal third of his right fibula,” said the medical report dated June 13.
