Jon Uriarte, Ernesto Valverde and Iker Muniain will be together tomorrow in Lezama. The president, coach and captain of Athletic, according to the note sent by the Bilbao club, “will publicly set the goals of the men’s first team and review the start of the season”. A joint press conference, in other words, promoted by the new rectors of the Ibaigane entity to focus things and remove doubts.
Official silence has prevailed in Athletic since the presidential changeover. Uriarte, after attending the first commitments and attending the relevant presentations, disappeared from the public scene to devote himself to work and to know the rojiblanco club from the inside. Meanwhile, Valverde and Muniain are focused on the preseason itself.
The Iñigo Martínez affair undoubtedly used a large part of this phase of the lions’ preparation. The player, who was wanted by Barça before the signing of Koundé, has not trained with the rest of the team since the Newcastle friendly played on July 30. Some discomfort in the knee, according to the club’s own medical report, is preventing him from exercising normally.
Athletic, in other words, will now set its goals for the season that is about to start and will face, barring any surprises, other issues that are more relevant on a daily basis.
