Strange Saint
Moms last Sunday before the Athletici miss today Ipurua in front of Eibar. Playing this kind of games without an audience is not cool. Not even grass, not even from the small screen. Football that falls in love little or nothing has to do with these games of abnormal normality.
It was sad to see the central streets of Eibar on the occasion of the visit of Athletic. The same as the other day around Saint
Moms. Without people, without noise, without bustle, without scarves, without all that atmosphere that a meeting of First. It is true that we are still immersed in the crisis of coronavirus and that there are much more important needs and problems. No one is oblivious to this harsh and cruel reality. But soccer, I insist, is something else.
I keep the face of Balance when the Navarrese referee showed him the red card. The Zaldibar coach must have protested louder or uglier than allowed, but the Var it has cloth. Whether or not he does justice, all that surrounds the referee's decision is to drive anyone mad.
The amateurs of the Athletic after seeing how Orellana turned the marker on Ipurua. The lions, who started out in an aggressive plan, gradually relaxed over time and their defensive efforts to the point of costing them serious disgust. It had to be him Ú Buffalo ’Villalibre the one that with a bellow in the form of a goal made the lions come out of their incomprehensible torpor.
Two old acquaintances
The two coaches in today's game in Ipurua they knew what it was like to sit on the rival bench as well. TO Balance things did not go very well for him in Bilbao. The Zaldibar coach arrived at Athletic just a week after struggling for promotion to First, with no final success, with the Eibar (Garitano, curiously, he was one of the players of that Barça squad). Lamikiz He incorporated him into his project, but chose to dismiss him even before the conclusion of the first league round. Gracious was his substitute.
Mendilibar did not fare well in Athletic, the opposite of Gaizka Garitano in his time at Eibar
TO GaritanoOn the other hand, he did much better in his career in Eibar. The deriotarra went up to the armor set from Second
B until First and maintained it, although thanks to a federal decision. It was not the only component of the current rojiblanca squad to participate in those successes. Cap, Yuri and Dani
Garcia they also participated from within the field in those two promotion campaigns. Campaigns that also included the elimination of Athletic in Cup.
Fans of Eibar They again showed their anger at the resumption of the competition without fans in the stands. In fact, in the arms town, at various points, banners with the legend “The league does not come back, your business comes back” appeared. From the bus Eskozia
The
Brave They took advantage of social networks to make it clear that “a The league he doesn't give a shit about the sport and the clubs his fans, more of the same. Football without fans is nothing. ”
