Ander Herrera’s shadow has been hanging over the rojiblanco environment for several days. PSG are without the services of the Bilbao midfielder and Athletic look set to acquire his services. Ernesto Valverde referred to this matter today in the press conference ahead of tomorrow’s Liga match against Mallorca.
“Ander is a good player, he was here before, I know him, but he belongs to another club and we have to be respectful. We’ll see what happens. Instead of thinking about what’s being talked about, I prefer to think about the ones we have, the ones we will play tomorrow”, declared the Athletic coach.
When asked if the arrival of Ander Herrera could not be an obstacle for the youngsters from the quarry, Valverde replied that “this is top-level football and the youngsters do not have to fear that the players are in the first team. They are players in addition to those that ultimately you can learn from them”.
The Athletic coach concluded his reflection on this matter, indicating that “in professional football they no longer give you a path of roses to reach the First Division. The internal competition improves the team. youth has to think that He is the best in his position and he has to win the position whoever he is”.
