On the eve of the meeting he had announced that he would make about five or six changes with the intention of forming the best possible team, perhaps oblivious to some claim from the stands, but in practice they were up to eight. Gaizka Garitano He had to make a kind of revolution on the last date in Granada and changed the appearance of Athletic in an unexpected way. As foreseen in these new traces, they would not have a place from the beginning or Beñat ni San José, as he seemed to have pointed out at the press conference on Saturday in Lezama. Nor during a painful encounter.
It was known that Blacksmith he was going to act as a doorman. In defense Cap was placed on the right side instead of From Marcos, with Núñez and Iñigo Martínez in the center of defense, so he reserved himself to Yeray, and Balenziaga substituted for Yuri; in the core D
ani Garcia I came back to partner with Vesga, while Cordova reappeared and Villalibre had a new chance, just like Lekue.
So there is no way
The renewed bet marked by Garitano did not leave very good feelings, if anything Villalibre he insisted on vindicating himself with actions in which his corpulence and handling of the body hurt Granada. His unmarkings also pupated in the local defense and in one of those plays he stood alone before the goalkeeper but lacked skill and mettle to beat him. Lekue was also one of the most insistent when trying to contribute something new in a very languid encounter.
With the arrival of the second half, and after the forced exchange of Unai López for Vesga before the break, the Derio coach opted for Yuri and Muniain, who relieved Balenziaga and Córdoba, who were not exactly very fortunate.
As was also to be expected, Williams he would have his chance to replace Villalibre, with which he could at least continue his streak of consecutive games playing, which in no way corresponds to his poor efficiency in front of goal and in a final stretch of the season that has left much to be desired.
No details
Iñaki joined a game that was downhill and without brakes, with a mixture of inaccuracies, contained rage, and unnecessary fouls. Yuri earned the yellow card in a demonstration that everything was lost in sensations, tactical disposition … Shortly before it had come out Ibai Gómez by Capa.
The Santutxu man has hardly enjoyed any opportunities, except in very delicate moments and it is not surprising that his state of mind is as it is. At least one start from Williams raised the temperature a little. But with Granada's last goal the hecatomb was even more unfortunate.
