I don’t really believe in miracles, spirits or astral divination, but after all these years, you can’t explain some things without blaming them on some immaterial being. Looking at the year from a ‘New Year’s Eve’ distance, I feel where the success of this ‘Valverdian Athletic’ has been and perhaps the luck factor is more important than it seems.
I remember Iñakitxu’s stay – a name that comes from the love I have for him – with his team in the Africa Cup. The fans want the Ghanaian to be cleared so that the forward can get safely to Bilbao. As soon as possible. Athletic faced Barça in two days in San Mamés, in the quarterfinals. Computers and phones catch fire. Ghana eliminated, Iñaki seems unhurt and a special flight will bring him closer to Euskadi. Thousands of people followed the ride and confirmed the news. The eldest Williams trains without incident in Lezama, but he is tired, physically and mentally.
Oh, he doesn’t make appointments. Well, to the surprise of almost everyone, Iñakitxu started, Athletic made an epic comeback and our hero managed to score the winning goal. Besides the premonitions, I think that was the center of the subsequent success. Valverde’s plan is working and the stars are smiling on us too. The team strongly believed in it. There is wood, let’s make a fire, that’s it. After a year we see the results, the assurances. Points, positions and titles. Unmeasurable. Let’s keep believing, there is a lot of wood.
