Asier Villalibre started again for Athletic on Tuesday against Cayón at El Sardinero. The red-and-white striker, who has yet to feature in Valverde’s starting eleven so far this season, also scored Bilbao’s first two goals. The first to know how to be on the spot. The second, safe from the penalty spot.
Celebrating two goals was a bit strange. Villalibre didn’t run to celebrate his goals like he usually does. The Gernika striker, however, made a special gesture with the fingers of his hands.
“This has been a difficult week personally for my family and this is above all because of that. I have remembered my family members, my father above all, who has not had a good time and I send him a big hug,” explained Villalibre.His mother died on Tuesday.
Regarding his future, the center forward clarified that “I am an Athletic player and I plan to continue here throughout the year.”
