Athletic humiliates Cádiz

Undeniable victory for Athletic against a Cádiz who played without a soul. Those of Marcelino They only needed half an hour to leave the match seen for sentence, with a 0-3 which was a slab for the yellow team. In the second part came the final 0-4. Athletic, which returned to show one of its best versions, came out in a rush and in just five minutes he was already ahead on the scoreboard, thanks to a goal from Berenguer. The winger received with great ease in the area and before scoring he allowed himself the luxury of making a pipe to Alcalá. No news from Cádiz, which again showed excessive fragility in defense.

It wasn't going to end there. When the meeting seemed most calm, the second arrived. Unai López's goal from a direct free kick, with a blow that passed between the heads of Alcalá and Espino; and that left Ledesma without options. Only 15 minutes had been played and the feeling was that the game had ended due to the lack of operation of the premises. The minutes passed Athletic wanted more and Cádiz allowed the facilities that it has shown in its last matches. In the 29th minute, a great pass from Muniain to the box ended at the foot of Berenguer, who after turning in the air, beat Ledesma with another mince. 0-3 and thank you. The nightmare for the locals was not over.

Cervera should not have liked the image of his own and in the resumption he introduced four changes; and although at first it seemed that the image was different, nothing could be further from reality: the first that Athletic had was inside. Aerial ball from the own field, which Williams culminates with a spectacular career in the umpteenth defensive error of the locals. This time, from Cala. One of the worst images that Cádiz is reminded of from a time to this part. There was still a world left, but there was no more match. Athletic adds three very important points in their career to return to Europe, while Cádiz needs to meet again. Are already four defeats in a row for those of Cervera and the descent is already only three points. Next visit: Camp Nou …

Marcelino: “We always have to play this way”

Marcelino Garcia Toral it is always analytical, regardless of the result. In the Silver Cup he was more than satisfied with the overwhelming performance of the Athletic, what was a cyclone against the Poniente wind that blew in the Carranza: “The team has been fluid, dynamic, with success and solvent, as we like, good circulation, transition and with arrival from outside; We are very satisfied. “He advances a maxim:” We always have to play this way. If we are able to continue this mentality and compete, it doesn't have to, and to Villarreal for all, we do not think beyond “, says the rojiblanco coach after the 0-4 in Cádiz.

About Berenguer, author of two of the goals, he explains his metamorphosis: “He always tends to play in the left profile and when we arrive we try to talk and convince him to do so in the right profile, he adapts and his performance is increasing, everyone has been at a high level,” says the Asturian coach, who maintains about Muniain what “There are footballers within the team that when they weave fluidity and sense of the game the team is favored, I had back problems, “he insists. Ibai Gomez leaves more followers of the cause: “It is the problem that every coach wants, the maximum benefit is Athletic. IWe try to be fair and respect each other, some were injured and come fresh. I am delighted that players are back to their highest level. “

The rojiblanco team is seven points above relegation and eight from Europe: “We wanted to win this game because I had only won one away from home, it was very improvable, now we have two; happy with how we have achieved the victory and now we finally have six days.” And a clean sheet, another sealed goal: “More value for footballers than for me. Defending well is when it generates few chances, that even Barcelona fell with respect to other rivals, but it was important to consummate it. For the goalkeeper it is important, so that Unai (Simón) does not collect the ball from the goal “. -Javier R. Beltrán

Álvaro Cervera: “Something is happening and I am responsible for changing it”

Sensations after the match. “The feeling is very bad because we have scored 15 goals against in the last matches. There have been games like Atlético de Madrid that scored four goals, but the team competed well. Games like today's I've been here for four years and I don't remember them ”.

Posible problems. “Today we started with the premise of trying to be strong in our area and we would see if we had a chance in the opposite area. Not ten minutes had passed and they had already had three scoring chances. There was a lot of distance between players. I can't explain why, but I can explain why not. The difference for me has not been in how good Athletic Bilbao is, that is clear to me, but for me the game is not that the rival is more or less good. It is something that happens to us and I am the most responsible, because it has been going through several games. I'll keep going until I get it changed. The Cádiz that I know doesn't have to be like this ”.

Change the chip. “For me the difference has not been in how well Athletic has done, but in how badly we have done. There are people who will think that I am very bad, others that the players have a hard time, others that the attitude is not correct. This does not depend on the rival, it depends on us “

Most thrashed team. “We are the team with the most goals and the one with the worst balance between goals for and against, it is among those who run the least… it has a lot of negative data. Some are relative due to the way they play, but goals are like that, and when that happens you have to look at the coach. The last month is not normal. I'm trying to stop this from happening. In the opening play they have already managed to center the ball. Something is happening and I am responsible for changing it ”.

Low. “Remembering the casualties would be a cheap excuse. Teams are weakened by casualties, but all have casualties. You get weak and you may not win or lose, but not to what happened today. I have been a soccer professional since I was 18 years old and this had never happened to me, neither as a coach nor as a player. What I have seen today in the first part of today I did not like at all ”.

Possible lack of attitude. “I never talk about attitude because I'm sure everyone comes out with the best attitude, for the team and for them. Something is missing from the team and we have to bring it in during the week, if we don't get it, it's because I'm not doing something right when the team can't or lacks attitude. I am the one who chose them and today cannot be repeated. If the lack of attitude is the problem, it is also my fault because I have to put those who I think will have the necessary attitude to compete. I have never excused myself in the attitude of the players because it is an issue that must be detected and solved before ”.

Positivism for the future. “I am pessimistic about what has happened so far because of how bad it is, but I am not pessimistic in the long run because this cannot continue like this, it is impossible. In the long run I am optimistic. We are going to change this. These blows make you look inward ”. -Bea Ring
