Nico Williams He is not at the level he showed last season both with Athletic and with the national team in the German Euro Cup. Added to the number of these battles is the fact that he did not have a regular preseason and was immersed in all the rumors about his future, especially those that came from Barcelona to acquire his services despite the fact that he renewed his contract as a lion until 2027.
Valverde He now referred to the moment his player is going through before tomorrow’s visit to Celta. “Time has passed since the summer, we are with the season launched. I see him as always, he is a player who gives us a lot but what happens is that the expectation is different from him now. It’s not the same as last year because of what he did last year. It is true that he had a physical problem, look at the nonsense at Logroñés, he received a blow and was unable to play in the Super Cup immediately. That always brings you a little. I had already gone through some discomfort before,” he stated.
However, he continues to be a very unbalanced footballer on both sides, a real headache for the full-backs on duty. “For us he is a differential player and for the rest as well. The way he is fit and on the field instills respect in the opponents and gives us guarantees because every ball he touches spins and faces the opponent. The thing is we always want our top players to have a high level of success and every dribble works. Sometimes it’s not like that, sometimes you have to combine a little, but I look at the game against Osasuna and he scored a goal that opened the door for us to come back,” he stated regarding the 1-2 scoreline on Thursday before the others.
