In the last game against him Celtic, Gaizka
Garitano He only made one change in the eleven that had worked for him in the last two games. He had to replace by penalty Iñigo
Martinez. It is the only movement that the technician of the Athletic he has performed in his eleven in the last league games. It was by force majeure. Before him Valencia tomorrow, Garitano you will be able to re-shoot your preferred defense line.
He has not had many doubts throughout the season behind the coach of the Athletic. Has clear ideas. He knows that it is a structure that works for him. In the two years he has been on the rojiblanco bench they have been his trusted men.
Cap on the right, with Yeray and Iñigo
Martinez on the y axis Yuri on the left. It is a common lineup in the Athletic since Gaizka
Garitano is your coach.
Also this campaign have been the usual. The technician has only introduced modifications due to physical problems or due to the sanction of the Ondarroa center last week.
For Iñigo
Martinez, his absence before him Celtic it was the first of the entire championship. It is a basic piece in defense and, until last week's clash against Vigo's team, not a second of play had been lost. He had not been replaced at any time. Shared with Unai
Simon the record of playing every minute. The fifth yellow card he saw against him Getafe cut his streak.
Maximum confidence
After the rest of the last day, Iñigo
Martinez will once again be one of those fixed on the axis of the defense of Gaizka
Garitano to visit the Valencia in a game with a lot at stake for the rojiblanco team.
The technician of Athletic he will have more doubts to repeat his favorite back on the left side. Yuri
Berchiche, who already missed the league start due to his pubic problems, has had to withdraw in the last two games due to dizziness that, according to himself Garitano, could be a consequence of the process of Covid that already made him miss a match to his own Yuri in October.
After the recovery of Iñigo
Martinez Once his sanction for a match has been completed, Zarautz's side is the biggest doubt for Gaizka
Garitano repeat a defense that already all fans of the Athletic they can repeat on a run.
