“We still have to change the calendar”

There are many clubs in League and from other countries those affected by the celebration of Africa Cup and of Asia Cup in mid-January, while European competitions are underway. He Athletic is newly affected due to the ‘signing’ of Inaki Williams through GhanaHowever, this is a cyclical thing. Solution? Ernesto Valverde thinking it might be here: “The calendar is what it is. Each continent has the right to celebrate its own cup on the dates it deems appropriate depending on the climate. I don’t know if we Europeans should say when the Africa Cup or if perhaps we have to adapt to Africa Cup”.

The red and white coach starts from the premise that this is a contest to “respect”, recognizing, of course, that he does not like “losing important players.” It also happens in Seville together En-Nesyri. “I don’t have much to say. If we don’t want to be together, we have to change the calendar,” said a member of the press in the press room. Valverde who knows this is an almost impossible mission: “We already know what it is. A show that needs to go on, that builds a lot and we are all part of this story.”

He Athletic accelerated options to that Williams played on Pizjuanbut the Ghana Federation did not give up. The attacker will travel tomorrow after recovering from a viral process that delayed his marriage. “Everybody wants to pull towards their side. We do Iñaki then and they have a preparation game to play on the 14th.” The man from Gasteiz does not want to enter the puddles and understands that everyone “wants to defend their interests”, a situation that seems “right” to him.

Valverde gave no hints on possible alternative exchanges Williams. Berenguer seems to be the one with the most options given in the minute history of this course, though Hello Ares will also appear. What will the technician do? “Put some of those in the locker room. I can think of some more, but it’s impossible,” he said with a touch of humor.
