This season, I’m looking for intrastories related to the day current players made their debut playing for Athletic. All of them, even now, have had time among the elite like lions, some more, some less. I think there may be attention-grabbing names related to each star’s premiere. The established order is the numbers.
Number six this season is Mikel Vesga. The midfielder made his debut on August 21, 2016. Sunday. Green. This is the first League day of the 2016/2017 season. The player from Gasteiz made his debut at El Molinón against Sporting.
Another player that Valverde made his debut. Dorsal 12. Replacement. He took the field in the 75th minute, replacing San José. He formed a pair in the double pivot with Beñat. A debut with defeat as Athletic went down 2-1.
In front of him is, for example, Fernando Amorebieta. The former lion made his debut for Sporting. He will then go to Argentina to finish his career with his hometown team, Iurreta. Today he is the second coach of the Santutxu youth team, the team led by Ibai Gómez, who also closed his time as a footballer in the team where it all started for him. In the Asturian team there is also Isma López, the player Bielsa does not like. Not him or Aduriz. On the afternoon of August, Isma scored a penalty, but Iraizoz stopped it. This is to see the stop and launch. With VAR, now, the maximum penalty will be repeated.
Close to 200
It was also the afternoon where, unfortunately, Iñaki Williams received the first racist insults from the stands. A chapter that was repeated seasons later at Barcelona. His volley, which Viguera caught with his knee before going in, was the goal that Athletic scored. Cuellar is Sporting’s goalkeeper and once again appeared in a lion’s debut. He has already done it with Unai Simón against Leganés.
Vesga played 183 official matches for Athletic, scoring nine goals. So far, he is the first to receive the maximum penalty, which will tell us. The numbers and his shooting style back him up for this. At least for them. And who would have told Vesga that in the same stadium where he made his debut, he would end up playing as a local player when he was loaned for the same season to the Asturian team.
Other news of the day
In the rest of the sport, on the day Vesga made his debut for Athletic, it was news that Real Madrid made its debut in Liga with 0-3 against Real. Zidane, then coach of the white team, said that “when I have to make the team my head hurts.” In addition, Carlos Coloma achieved bronze in the Mountain Bike event at the Olympic Games. river
Vesga won over Athletic fans. Glad to hear it. A committed guy, always with a good disposition and never lacking in quality. Ziganda gave him his first big chance. He had to go out on loan again, to Leganés. Now no one doubts that it should be renewed. Who knows if he will become a reference in the middle of the field. It won’t be something from another Thursday.
