This morning Athletic began to prepare for the Liga match against Villarreal which will be held this Sunday in San Mamés starting at 4:15 pm Valverde, who after Wednesday’s victory against Real Madrid is set to give a day of rest to his team, does not rely on the help of ‘handled’ Sancet and Nico Williams in this morning’s session. The lions will meet again tomorrow in Lezama starting at 11 am in a closed-door session.
The one who took part in this preparation session was Vivian. The central defender from Gasteiz has accumulated 99 League games as an Athletic player, so if he has a minute against Villarreal on Sunday he will be a ‘centenarian’ in the so-called regularity tournament.
Coincidentally the now international defender made his debut as a lion under the command of Marcelino, the current coach of the yellow team. On the same August 16, 2021, Julen Agirrezabala also made his debut in the Athletic goal.
