Bilbao Athletic found a way again thanks to the tandem formed by Carlos Gurpegi and Ander Murillo. After a season to forget including relegation to the Second RFEF, the red-and-white reserve team regained its competitive pulse and good feeling as it reached the halfway point of its League. His campaign, even up to the middle of the championship, has to be appreciated in its fair measure.
The Bilbao team finished the first round as outstanding leaders. The puppies added 44 points from a possible 51 as a result of their fourteen victories, two draws and one loss, with 37 goals in favor (almost two per game) and only six against. Good numbers, no doubt, and a better feeling.
Experience is a level and what happens throughout this campaign is nothing more than the logical consequence of doing and knowing how to let things be done as they should be. There were those who did not even see clearly in the summer that Bilbao Athletic could be in a position to rise again in the short term and now, however, they underestimated the importance of the trajectory of Gurpegi’s team. However, in any case, there is still a way to go.
Valverde, by the way, also used some of these puppies at certain times.
