Yesterday, the squads of the first two Athletic teams fulfilled the Christmas tradition of visiting different hospital centers where ‘little’ patients are admitted with various ailments. Some of these little ones who have been hospitalized these days in Cruces, Basurto and the IMQ Zorrozaurre are this time the ones who have seen and talked closely with some of Valverde’s lions and David Aznar’s lions. All in a lovely, family-friendly environment marked by red and white characters. There is no lack, as tradition also dictates, of some a cappella singing of some of the themes that usually echo in San Mamés on match days.
“As is the tradition during the Christmas holiday, representatives of the Athletic Club visited the hospitals of Cruces, Basurto and IMQ Zorrozaurre to convey to the men, women and people hospitalized their encouragement, congratulations and best wishes for speedy recovery and “And, by the way, bring them some gifts,” explained the Bilbao club yesterday on its official website.
Athletic itself recognized in its note that “the morning became more special for the most txikis, for whom the best gift is having the presence, love and company of lions and lions.” A small gesture on the part of the red and white professionals every year turned out to be a good moment for some of these little ones who, due to one illness or another, were not having a particularly good time .
