There was a transfer of power in the captaincy of Athletic of Iker Muniain in Oscar De Marcos once Navarrese’s departure and the continuation of the side are confirmed, but what will happen to the number 10? It’s still an anecdote, albeit a transcendent one for marketing. It is symbolic, yes, all clubs have their fetish numbers. And 10 usually has a special value in football. Even before each player wears his name and a fixed number on his back. Naa League It was implemented in 95-96.
Of the classics from 1 to 11, 10 were passed by the smallest red-and-white footballers of this century. Only four lions have worn it in an official match. Aitor Larrazabal He wore him from the 96-97 campaign to 00-01, when he reverted to the usual 3 on the left side. Loiu’s skill was given to an almost newcomer like him Fran Yeste and his was until he left Bilbao in 2010. Then he went behind the From Marcoswhich in 2016 changed to take 18 of his good friend Gurpegi and so, passing by, he left 10 to a Purify which is 19.
The 9, by the way, doesn’t move too much Athletic. Ziganda He wore it from 95-96 to 97-98; before Ezquerro until 04-05; Llorente he held onto it and didn’t let go until he decided to take other paths in 2013; he took over Kike Solaalthough he wore little in green, he had it until the end of 17-18 and since then it has been the property of Inaki Williams despite not being a definite forward.
Throughout the last eight years, on the 10th of Athletic is directly linked to Purify. The Zurigorri fan internalized that number one embedded between the lines and threw feints, both in the middle lane and on the left. Now it will change ownership with the departure of Navarrese. On July 1, he officially quit joining the Bilbao squad. Right now he has not decided what his fate will be. There will be no shortage of offers. What he clarified, yes, is that it will not be at League nor to Europe.
Who will carry the legacy of September 10? Iker? It is a matter of selecting the lions before the competition begins. Usually people who have been in the club for a long time choose first, although it is not unusual for them to change the one they already have. Would you like Sancet leave 8? Or to Nico Williams leave 11 so characteristics of the left wing? Do you wear it? Guruzeta? Maybe it will end up in another youth squad like him First Gómez? How about for a newcomer like Djaló? Spoiler: in Sporting Braga I’m wearing number 14… which is also free. As I said, about 10 is nothing more than an anecdote, but a unique anecdote that people want to know.
