We still had the aftertaste of the good game against Girona when the alarms went off with the news everyone was expecting: Nico will be a red and white player until 2027. With the good news barely digested, we went to San Mamés to receive of Rayo. Francisco’s men promised good football and defensive solidity.
Well, Athletic are going crazy, scoring four against Vallecanos, capping off a week that shouldn’t end. Seven days that could change everything or at least the perception of reality of thousands of fans. Fifths alone. With 30 goals scored in fifteen days. 28 points, what can I say, tops.
Nothing like this since a decade ago, when Athletic, also with Valverde at the helm, qualified for the Champions League. Not since 1968 have the rojiblancos scored so many goals. The team wins and is happy.
In La Catedral, 22 txitxarros in 8 games. It’s like complaining, hey, big words. I, without being from the center of Bilbao, propose a collection to raise funds to pay a bonus to the oldest Williams so that we cannot go to the Africa Cup. Damn, Iñaki, we are facing a historic moment.
Team play is exciting. Eleven itself is overflowing with energy. He presses, he deploys, he gets verticality, he creates chances, he hides the ball when needed. And everything starts to come out, as if we were touched by a wand. Vesga was injured and Galarreta and Herrera were together like sea bream and txakoli. The trio of midfielders begins to mark the era. And on pointe, Guruzeta grows. On Saturday, two great goals – one of which was disallowed – and an assist that even Argote missed. Come and see, there’s still plenty to watch.
