Vivian’s debut in Spain, in two plays

Confounding the part with the whole is a classic in the world of football. This usually happens at the hobby level. It is enough for a minimal minority to raise chickens on or off the field for all fans of the unpresentable club on duty to be branded the same way. Older than corduroy.

Vivian had some blows after his debut in the Spanish team because he appears in the picture of the game where Colombia’s goal against Spain was born. Luis Díaz, a winger who signed for Liverpool a few years ago for the low price of 45 million euros and 15 in variables, made a ‘trademark’ game against the Gasteiztarra center-back, he moved to the area and a teammate in his finished off the back of the goal net then Remiro defended with a fantastic shot with form and depth.

The rival also plays

A throw-in just seconds into the match’s 94 minutes was enough for those on the sidelines to completely underestimate the performance and even the quality of Athletic’s stout defence. Some, oddly enough, highlighted a few minutes before the difficulty of winning a duel with Vivian himself. The ability of the striker, it should be pointed out in both cases, also counts.

This is not the only mess in which the man from Gasteiz has been involved since his landing at La Roja. Days before, posing for a well-known sports brand, there are also those who are confused with churras and merinos. More of the same or similar, although in a completely different context.

Vivian’s career has many merits. Since he arrived at the youth team of Santutxu from Ariznabarra, this footballer has grown step by step until he got a starting position at Athletic, including a previous loan at Mirandés, and made his international debut. Had his header against Colombia itself gone in and Spain won, the records would have said something else about his La Roja debut.
