Ander Herrera has been Athletic’s starter in the last three league games. He’s done it to a fair degree, too, albeit from less to more as the games go by. His emergence with Dani García, prompted by the injuries of Ruiz de Galarreta and Vesga, allowed Valverde and the rest of the team to have another double pivot capable of providing stability, balance and appropriate that rhythm every moment so that the red and white team.
The Bilbao midfielder did not have a great season last season after his return to Lezama, before his time at Manchester United and PSG. Injuries prevented him from enjoying much-needed continuity. A real failure for the Athletic coach, who bet heavily on his return to the red and white discipline.
Ander Herrera is now playing further away from the rival area than before United went to Ibaigane with the 32 million envelope of his termination clause. The Bilbao midfielder, who has a lot of quality, now plays closer to the centre-backs and, above all, has gained decisiveness, stability and even toughness when it comes to tackles and placing his foot. His time in the Premier and Ligue 1 was remarkable.
