Years passed. Twelve since the first time you accompanied me to an Athletic final. Then another bitter and disappointing homecoming.
The second time our team was not there or competed. Bucharest and Madrid are part of a black history of failures.
Again love, you and me. Seville. Convinced this time yes.
All this time of losing finals has not taken away from us even a little pride in our Athletic. We will never replace him with another club no matter how many Champions League titles he wins.
Proud
Being from Athletic, we have won. As the ever-remembered Jose Iragorri said, ten years ago,: “Not from Athletic, a lost opportunity.”
We will continue, whether we win or not, be proud of our players, our selection, our itinerary in this ‘modern football’ that has done us a lot of damage, but it has not been able to take us off our path. Proud of us and ours. Identification mark.
My back is not big enough to carry you, Haimar. This title will arrive later than expected. One of the dreams, the saying I have about our Athletic, is to celebrate like this “by your side.” Seems like a lot of Aitas.
You have to live what we enjoy a little younger than you now. It wasn’t in 2012. Maybe not now, but it will come. Although athleticism is already winning, we need this title.
Picture for history
It was in their hands that the coach and players appeared in a picture for history. The pressure won’t be enough for them this time. They know they will be wrapped in green from start to finish. San Mamés in Seville.
We just ask that they be themselves, that they don’t change from the team they’ve been in most games this season. Others will come, surely.
There is an enemy, let’s not forget. And with our enthusiasm. Big respect to the ‘Vasco’ team. This is also your occasion. Unfortunately, the pressure of favoritism will not be on them, but if we want to be champions once and for all, we must defeat it.
The fear that has held us back in so many finals must be forgotten. We only ask that they be. We are not a team that achieves its feats through fear or temporary time. If we can come out of La Cartuja in this new final, against Mallorca, believing it’s another game and approaching it, a big part of the road is covered.
To him!
The damn question
Are we still not going to wear the number of Cup titles we have on the sleeve of our Athletic shirt? On the official website of the red and white club there are 24. At Atlético de Madrid I saw 10 on their shirt. For commenting here.
What is this fear?
If nothing goes wrong, here in seven days. Hopefully there is another Cup in the Athletic Museum showcases!
