Next Wednesday, November 1, the Cup returns for Athletic. The lions will make their debut at the Can Rosés Stadium against Rubí, a team from the Catalan Regional. First test for the rojiblancos in a competition special to them, although they have let it slip away on too many occasions over the years.
The last cup title started in the 1983-1984 season. Since then they have accumulated several runners-up finishes and several semi-finals as well. In the last four seasons, Athletic have come close to the final on two occasions and have had to settle for silver in many others. A race that invites you to dream and excites the red and white fans who want to see the champion team again.
A competition that also allows less common players. As usual, the substitute goalkeeper, in this case Julen Agirrezabala, can step up to become a starter in these games. Depending on the opponent, it could also be the turn of other footballers who remain in the shadows during the season.
The match against Rubí, for example, could be the perfect setting for these players to accumulate minutes and also fight for a place in the 11th for the League. Whoever played, in other words, everyone worked together to regain glory.
