Athletic continues to stand out for its great defensive work

Athletic is a rock. On Sunday he demonstrated it again in Vallecas. The rojiblanco team withstood all Rayo’s attacks, especially in the second half, when the team led by Andoni Iraola. The defense took out the large number of lateral centers that the locals put up, who left the game without creating clear chances against Unai Simon.

Usurbil’s own coach acknowledged that the match played by the two central defenders –Vivian e Inigo Martinez- had been “spectacular”. Possibly, the one from Ondarroa is the most regular lion this year. It offers great performance whenever you play. This can be extended to Gasteiz, who has returned in style after the muscle injury suffered in the visit to Espanyol on October 26, since Yeray, which is now in dry dock.

The team of Marcelino it is at the head of Europe in this statistic. In addition to Seville, there are only four other teams in the five major leagues that have conceded less.
