THE BEST: Le Normand brings out the gladiator armor
Le Normand lacks Real left Barakaldo who is unhurt to be crowned in the derby. The centre-back is getting along just in time, just before the League, with his version of a colossus at the back. He came out in gladiatorial armor to match the stamina of the duel, clear the Athletic’s barrage and command his teammates.
Zubiaurre
The ordiziarra followed a real test. He was given a good chance to demonstrate in a derby, and without showing off, he stood his ground: little more to do with Vesga’s goal, the stretches they held, an effective fist stop and not being noticed. He has more foot problems.
gorosabel
At this level, it will be difficult to be a top right-back no matter how much Zaldua has left. Berenguer complicated his existence, he could not stop and when he ascended, he centered badly.
Zubeldia
Vesga eluded him in goal action and a level game caught his other interventions. Placed in place to abort the danger, when he controls, drives or passes it seems too little position for him.
Rich
Loose, very loose. His worst game of the summer, came down to defending himself against Williams and the efficiency that Lekue developed. He was sent off because he took his arm while walking, but it was a completely unconscionable penalty.
Illarramendi
The big news of the night: the captain seems to be in a position to lead Real in a choice of games. Notably, enemy in the middle of operations. He powered through with a shot off his left foot that narrowly missed.
Merino
Navarrese grew until he became Real’s main tool. He dedicated himself to looking deep at Carlos Fernández and Barrenetxea and when Athletic came in, he organized the attacks and grabbed a header inside the area.
Brace
Gone in the first half, he left flashes in the second half. If his football is more consistent, he will make a difference because he shows class on the left. He forgave the best chance to score, only on the penalty spot. The ball went into the stands.
hut
He never crumpled, but almost always lost the ball. The Japanese’s inertia again bent to the right to activate the play in the middle and received several unreported fouls. His best endorsement in the derby, the execution of the stuck ball.
barrenetxea
His intention was to break the walls in the beginning, they didn’t come out and he lost his presence on the left. Twelve in the last half hour. He could be a starter in Cádiz.
Carlos Fernandez
He showed the toughness of the derby, against the entire Athletic defense. La Real barely found him and they took a lot of the ball away from him.
The changes
Navarrese
Appropriate. He gave Brais a goal and moved between the lines.
karrikaburu
Chef of a personal move, he got rid of Vivian, but the shot crossed too much. La Real did not shoot on goal until this minute 67.
Gonzalez de Zarate
It’s possible that Imanol indicated that he needs to open the field as a pivot. He was not hit.
Arambarri
An addition to the bottom line.
Olasagasti
Competitor, he held Yuri so he wouldn’t leave.
Gómez
So that Gorosabel can rest.
