Óscar de Marcos took Muniain’s baton, leaving with the public’s love after learning how to live with the team’s good and bad moments.
The renewal of the Alava footballer until 2025 implies the responsibility of leading the team with the captain’s armband. From legend to legend. The one from Laguardia is already a reference inside the box for his years of service to the club and for the values he sent on and off the playing fields. I can’t think of a better option to pick up the baton and a great prize for a lion who will complete his sixteenth season in the red and white first team.
De Marcos is the perfect example for all the men and women of Lezama quarry to notice. A gentleman on the playing field. Without nonsense, without trying to deceive the referee, honorable to his rivals and a gentleman outside the green, exemplary in his statements, putting the interests of the club before his own, always correct in his statements and not removing his feet from the hook. That is without going into the social assistance that he gives to those most in need in his free time, something he is not proud of, but on the contrary, he tries not to notice. Role models.
And up
The one from Laguardia can add his 533rd game against Rayo Vallecano with the Zurigorri shirt, just eight behind Txetxu Rojo, who is in third place in the ranking of matches played at Athletic. With four competitions at stake next season, if his injuries can be avoided, the Alava player could overtake Muniain himself in the historic second place behind Iribar.
The Bilbao team is guaranteed at least 48 official matches between LaLiga, Cup, Europe and Super Cup. By playing 28 matches, if both play in Vallecas, it will equal the records of the Txantrea player. On the way to a new personal record.
Dreamed that the party was over
Athletic said goodbye to the San Mamés course in the best possible way. He certified fifth place with success and did it with two special cods, those of Raúl García and Muniain, who let their fans know in a big way. Rulo’s case is special because he made his La Catedral scoring debut with a header against Getafe and nine years later he left scoring with a header against Sevilla. Close the circle.
Despite the recent draws; Valverde’s men closed the season with just one defeat at home, adding 18 league games without losing at home, something that had never happened before. Out of 65 points, 42 in Bilbao. As much as cod. The basis of success is clear.
