In The Palms He himself admitted that he came “late” to remove one of the center-halves when both had yellow and Jauregize he ended up being expelled. In Leganeson the other hand, brought out its more interventionist roots and ate five changes in the 63rd minute, using only two windows because the Nico Williams It happened at intermission. just once in 97 games played by the coach during this period Bilbaothere are already five substitutions enabled in the new post-pandemic football, I made them as soon as possible.

And this is a data with a certain trick because that game is the last one League in Vallecas (0-1). A meaningless classification level appointment for the same Ray for him Athletic. Valverde He made a move with a triple substitution at halftime when the score was at zero. Yuri He was injured at the start of the second period and this is his fourth.

Gasteiztarran was asked if leaving without movement in the half hour remaining was not a excessive risk. “possible”he answered. He recognized the Galarretta “I was clear that I would do it from the beginning” and argued for triple substitution: “I wanted to make three changes at the same time because I thought that at that moment it would be good for us. Sometimes when you change a little, one or two, you can always change, but when you change three you are looking for a little help for the team”.
