Watching the video in question does not leave anyone indifferent that has anything to do directly or indirectly with Athletic. Sancet, Iñaki Williams, Nico Williams and Vivian entered a forge with the first kit of the Bilbao club, without the number on the back of the shirt, under intense fire, melting the 10 on the jacket of the red and white club and all leaving the area with its corresponding number on the back under the generic motto of ‘Unique in the world’.
“Athletic has reasons that reason ignores,” pointed out the Bilbao club itself in the presentation of this original video. “There is always a place and a time, a journey and a story to tell. They all look alike, but our stories are different,” he argues below.
El Pobal also features the initiative of the Ibaigane entity. “So excited to share this unique setting, the El Pobal Ironworks, in its new location!”
Switch to interpretations
Many Athletic fans would like to see in this video a sort of preview of Nico Williams’ contract extension announcement. The Navarrese striker, in fact, is the only one of the four lions who appear on the scene without a connection as a rojiblanco after June 30, 2027. His brother ends in 2028 and his other two teammates in 2032.
We will have to wait, in any case, to see if this place is intended only and exclusively to combine the history of a century-old institution like Athletic with an emblematic place like La Ferrería de El Pobal or, like many of red and white fans, this is the preamble to the announcement of one of the most awaited and anticipated news of the fans. The place, whatever happened in the end, caused intrigue and hope.
There are also, by the way, those who interpret it as the return of Iker Muniain to Athletic. Imagination to power.
