Looks like things are looking up for Athletic women. After a poor start to the season, the lions have amassed two successive victories at home against Granada and Sporting de Huelva and will now look to do the same at home against Villarreal, bottom of League F. Against Granada, the lions achieved a minimal win and, as we said last week, they showed some improvement in the game.
Against the Huelva team, Athletic took another step and completed a very good match where almost all the players stood their ground. A 3-0 victory against the Huelva team in which Nahikari finally made his debut as a scorer and where the score could have been greater if not for the missed opportunities.
With their backpacks full of good feelings and enthusiasm, David Aznar’s team now have the chance to add another victory to their locker against a Villarreal team that is in a tough spot. The squad led by Sara Monforte occupies last place in the standings with zero points, after four losses in as many games. An idyllic setting for Athletic, with a chance to maintain the good feelings gained in the last two games and continue to improve to achieve its best version.
Improve effectiveness
The lack of success in front of goal continues to be one of the pending issues for the red and white. Without much difficulty in reaching the rival area, the lions squandered a clear scoring opportunity against the Huelva team that could have given them a more comfortable victory. Nahikari scored his first goal for Athletic, but still seems to be a long way from reaching the impressive numbers that made him famous at Real Sociedad.
Marta San Adrián, Sanadri, who made his debut as a scorer in the preseason, opened the scoring for his team by signing his first official goal as a red and white team. The one from Donostia is one of the best players in the match, and his hunger for goals makes him stand out as one of the team’s possible top scorers this season.
Footballers with talent and purpose, in other words, were called to solve the problems of Athletic effectiveness by David Aznar. A short-term goal that must start to be corrected now and ideally resolved before next October 22, when Athletic will receive the visit of Real in the first derby of the season.
Without stopping and without rushing, but do not let it break.
