Athletic has rejuvenated itself by leaps and bounds in recent seasons, with young players filling the void left by players who have hung up their boots or gone to other teams. The team has led since this season by David Aznar In his first season at the helm of the red and white, he has stood out for his youth, as previously pointed out by Iraia Iturregi.
His eleven per minute have an average age of 22.7 years. Adriana Nanclares, the goalkeeper who played the most after arriving from Real, is 21 years old; The defense will consist of Elexuru right back (20), Landaluze (23) and maddy (27) of central and Nerea Nevado (22) on the left side of the back; preceded by a line of three formed by Itxaso (32), Maite Zubieta (19) and Mariana (23) and as attacking footballers Sarah Ortega (18), Clara Pinedo (20) and Anne Azkona (25). The average goes up a tenth more and counts the next five lions in the ranking by the minute: Nahikari (26 years), Quinones (27), Sanadri (23), Paula Arana (22) and John Amezaga (18).
The average is down nearly two years from last season, which was 24.1. So, the team every minute is formed by Quinones (26 years on May 20, 2023, when the previous League ended), Oihane Hernandez (23), Valdesate (23), Bibi (24), Nerea Nevado (22), Itxaso (31), Mariana (22), Anne Azkona (24), Fined (19), Paula Arana (21) and Fake (31). The number increases to 24.3 which also counts the following five players in this ranking: Marta Unzué (3.4), John Amezaga (18), Eunate (31), Landaluze (22) and Maite Zubieta (18).
Two of the signings that Athletic made this past summer made it into the usual eleven, the goalkeeper Nanclares and the central maddy, who has returned home after leaving Lezama in the 2015-16 season. Probably NahYoKari, the star signing from Real Madrid, was also there but he was injured on November 9 in the Cup clash against Granada and has not played since. The other three additions don’t play much: Sanadri He also missed two games due to a muscle injury, the left back Gara played 135 minutes and the forward. Patri Zugasti134, although on Sunday he played his first starting game against Barça in Lezama after scoring the winning goal last week in Valencia.
The young women Elexuru, Landaluze, Maite Zubieta and Sarah Ortega take a step forward in this course, viz John Amezagaone of the first spare parts of David Aznarand they remain in the team compared to last season Nerea Nevado, Itxaso, Mariana, Fined and Azkona. The proliferation of attacking players (three of the six signings are forwards) has taken a lot of prominence away from Fakewho has gone from being one of the common companions Iraia Iturregi to play only 21 minutes with the current coach.
