In your youth phase, Athletic played with three centre-backs and you were one of them when it came to defending, but when they attacked you had to be a full-back…
Yes (anticipated) because our game is 3-4-3. Attacking the flanks and defending in the middle. It helped me a lot, especially with the issue of positioning, aids, knowing when to climb and when not to. It helped me.
Isn’t it a bit complicated to go from center back to winger or vice versa, maybe even in the same game?
The truth is that we dominated a lot before because we had a good team and we carried the weight of the games. Eventually we won’t have to defend like we do now in the First Division, where every team has very dangerous players. Now we defend this Athletic more than that Juvenile team.
The right center back of that youth team, is Álvaro Núñez
Yes Yes. Alvarito, who left Lezama, signed for Barça B and is now at Amorebieta.
Well, both are blamed for the same thing. Very good up front, but when it comes to defending…
It will always be like that. When you are very good at something they will always give you a bad time about something else. Someone who is a very good defender is always accused of not being a very good attacker. In any case, it’s about hiding your flaws and enhancing your virtues.
