Antiguoko, Real Sociedad (Zubieta), Athletic (Lezama), Tottenham, Cheltenham Town, Valladolid, Real Unión, Eibar, Real, PSG and Athletic. Although Yuri has defended the red and white shirt for six consecutive seasons, his journey to join Bilbao’s first team has been long and full of different destinations. Yesterday, in the press room of Lezama, the question addressed to the left back was clear and direct. “In which club do you feel like a youth player?”
His response, after a significant grimace, was extremely diplomatic. “Just a little bit of everything. One year at Real, two years at Athletic, two years at Tottenham…. I feel a little bit of everything. I can’t tell you it’s exclusive to one. “I don’t know what else to answer you.”
At this point, Yuri reasoned that “I have been to so many places that I would have been like Muniain, a ‘one club man’. as they say nowadays. In my case it wasn’t like that and I’m proud of all the paths I took to get here because it wasn’t easy for me. I kind of feel everything.”
The red and white defender admitted that he will not take the dim view of ending his career at Athletic.
