Athletic hosts Granada (12 noon) in its first home game of the season. The red and white will try to maintain the excellent home streak they achieved in the second round of last season. That is the goal, as announced yesterday David Aznarwith a last minute losing side Ane Eexpuruwith a sprained ankle that will keep him out for more than a week. His coach hopes to recover him for the next day. “It brings us great memories back home, in Lezama. Last season we had an incredible second round here, winning every game. This is the path we have to continue on. “We really want to meet the fans, who always help us,” he said.
The Bilbao team just won the first match of the F League 24-25 at home against Levante. “We did the hardest thing, what it cost us last year, to win in a very difficult field. Now we have to try to maintain a very ambitious goal, to be very strong at home. Last year we made this field a fortress and all the teams came here with a lot of doubts. We have to start by winning at home, knowing how difficult it is and with all due respect to Granada. The other day he had a difficult game for Atlético. It will be a difficult game, but we are ready,” he added.
What would you ask the fans at the start of the season? “To ask him a little bit because he’s always been an example. I would tell them to continue to encourage us like last year, to continue to fill this field, that we owe them a lot last season. That we notice them, we feel they are just one player. We need you to come to Lezama. I hope we can have the same synergy that we had with the people,” he stated.
In addition to Bilbao behind, Aznar They also won’t be able to count on three very important players from last year. Maite Zubieta, Sarah Ortega and John Amezaga They compete with Spain in the U-20 World Cup. “We are talking about three players who have been and are very important to this squad. We miss them a lot, we are happy with their experience in Spain and they have been to the quarterfinals, but obviously many times you wonder if the calendar can be different and they won’t miss three days of competition. For us, they are very important players and they will be useful to us in these weeks,” he said.
