In a victory tomorrow against Slavia Praguehe Athletic will reach 7 points in the league stage of European League. He will gain about a foot and a half in the next round and will be fully in the fight for the first eight positions. But in the tent of Bilbao they don’t do the math. “There are several studies of UEFA “That talk about certain points: seven, eight, nine… But until we see the average that is being produced, not only for this year, you cannot know what you need to be able to be among the first eight or to be able to pass,” has stated Valverde in the press room.
At the moment, since this is the first edition with this format, everyone is “hoping” what’s going on: “Let’s add as many points as possible and let’s see what happens next.” What do Athletic want in the Europa League? “Everyone, try to climb as much as possible.” The coach only focused on Slavia: “Right now, we’re not thinking about anything else except that we want to win tomorrow”.
Especially since the types of contests are very specific. “Knockout competitions always give you options, but only as long as you have them very bad matches or situations that you can’t get right and if the rival gets it right, you’re gone,” he said. Valverdelike many red-and-white fans, there is still an action etched in his memory: “Last year We won the Cup, but we don’t forget that Lamine Yamal was able to solve the game and eliminate us in quarters. There are situations where they have to go with you, regardless of how well you play.”
The games continue to accumulate Athleticalthough in this attack there is a factor that gives it some truce. “There’s a big difference between playing every three days and doing it with five left” as the Lions will do now. From Saturday with him spanish until Thursday with Slavia. “Then we went on Monday, which is four days. “It gives you a break”although football players “continue to heal properly.” But, as the saying goes, scabies is happy that doesn’t itch. “We have to adapt to the calendar, it is what we wanted, now we are not going to complain,” he concluded.
