Complete silence before Athletic-Betis

The Athletic is a century-old institution known more for what it does than what it says. Discretion is a common trait at this club. In a delicate issue related to DANA that has greatly affected various towns in the province of Valencia, among other places, it will not be different.

The red and white entity, as indicated by Mikel González, its director of football, on the microphones of DAZN, has been in contact for several days with the reference clubs in the affected areas, their clubs and the competent authorities such as the Basque Government, the Provincial Council and the City Council, among others.

Everything is happening now by working with all of them with the idea, as MD learned, of providing effective help not only now, but in the medium term, which, it seems, is most needed. Athletic help, in other words, is at the expense of needs and the process of receiving things that, despite the excess, are needed.

“Since last Wednesday we have been in contact with the Basque Government, with the leading clubs in the Valencian Community, and also with the Athletic supporters clubs in the area. The club is trying to contribute as much as possible, trying to be coordinated all together , so that it is not an avalanche of things, but rather all coordinated because it seems like it will go for a long time. “Athletic is always in the task and in this case it cannot be less,” said González.

The noise of silence

San Mamés, standing, yesterday observed a respectful minute of silence in honor of these DANA victims. De Marcos, captain of Athletic, showed off a red and white shirt with the legend “Estem amb voijos” in the run-up, while Bartra was also made in another one from Betis under the motto “Fuerza Valencia” . Fornals, born in Castellón, cried after his team scored the goal.
