The uncomfortable football of the national team that disrupts the calendar once the League reaches cruising speed, will return, as it does every month at the start of the championship. Breaks spent debating issues receive more space than usual, when the urgency of the weekend game monopolizes everything.
Among the damages caused to clubs, apart from exposing their employees to the risk of injuries during fundraising tours for world federations, is making them more expensive and giving them an international focus. Athletic did not escape this. Less than anyone.
Agents and club scouts are assumed to be doing their job, and players want to Nico Williams They are better known throughout the football industry from the age of 15 or 16, we cannot ignore that in youth clubs and in our own potential, the loyalty of the player and the opportunities to step up to the first team should provide protection, a shield We need to have the right managers when it comes to tying the two or three crown jewels that emerge every decade. Which unfortunately is not much more! And it does it wrong.
In this process, there are times when the club takes the lead. To others, no more: too late. Recently, we have made the mistake of allowing important negotiations, the differences of players, to end up in a bad scenario of inferiority and fear of the possibility that the rich man in town will fall for something that they may have repeated in their chain of contacts. production but unique and important for us and for our growth and retention among the elite.
Wrong, our recent managers and sports directors often allow players to reach the final year of their contracts already attracted by those transfer bonuses so trendy and crazy offers come more or less clubs with debt or leverage. From there, negotiate with fear, haste and anxiety.
Anything other than tying Nico up would have allowed him to walk free, leaving the club looking foolish. And it will have consequences. It is unacceptable to reach the end of the season with half the squad out of contract. The Martínez vaudeville repeat a year later would be the end.
The reference player, and Nico is known to be one for a long time, should be tied to a long contract and generous clauses for the club as he emerges from the first team. When your greatest ambition is exclusively that. Not when it’s a World Cup. The debut and first round of matches should reflect a progressive view on both the level of compensation and as a protective clause for the club. You don’t have to be the smartest person in the neighborhood to interpret the recently applied Laporte as the perfect formula. Long contracts that can be improved over time guaranteeing room for maneuver, and a large Arrizabalaga-type clause. Otherwise, the risk is manufacturing for others. The Uriarte board plays safe. In these things more than earning another four euros for another sticker on the shirt. Be careful!
If nothing goes wrong, here in seven days.
