Anyone would say that it is time to fish in a troubled river, that the opponent is hot and it can be given an almost definitive blow so that it falls a little more in the lower zone of the classification. That would be a reading for a meeting of the so-called normal, but with a team of José
Luis
Balance it is impossible, or at least not recommended, to make a conjecture of such traces. Plus derbies are unpredictable.
The Athletic He has an appointment on a stage usually grateful for his interests in view of the results he has been reaping. It is measured to an Eibar (19:30 hours, with arbitration by Prieto Iglesias) who is hanging on a wire and with the appearance of being able to fall if the wind blows strong. Without the push of its people, in addition, it can be a more vulnerable rival, a new example to ratify the German tendency that without fans the visiting teams have more options to scratch. A few months ago the Real already took slice in Ipurua of a closed-door duel.
But this is nothing but cabal. Gunsmiths, given the current circumstances, will be a more than dangerous block. We just need to remember his good second half last Sunday against Real
Madrid, despite the fact that for that date the Catalans did not play at the start with all the best of their pantry. At times they struck frequently and clearly of ideas in the goal of Courtois and, to add insult to injury, wood stood in the way of the gunsmith goal.
For this meeting of Eibar, Garitano login account with Yuri's doubt. The reappeared Of
frames was in charge of replacing him in the last minutes of the clash against the Athletic. Otherwise, it is expected a team very similar to the one that was measured for mattresses, with doubts in the center of the field.
Changes are expected
With Simon in goal it is supposed that Cap, Yeray, Inigo
Martinez and the headdress Yuri take charge of exercising in defense, without forgetting Nunez, who played a few minutes on Sunday, or Balenziaga. In the spinal cord, the presence of Dani
Garcia and there is no doubt if his companion will be Unai
Lopez or maybe Vesga or Saint
José for that of its size against a very powerful set. The rest of the initial kit could be completed with Raul
Garcia, Muniain, Williams and Cordova, without forgetting other possible options such as the aforementioned Of
frames, Lekue, Kodro or Ibai. Sancet not convinced on Sunday.
Three days after the physical beating before him Athletic
of
Madridwhat it is logical that there are changes, especially knowing that Saturday comes to Bilbao a Betis than Ruby, your coach, on a tightrope. Since the lions competed well against those of SimeoneIt is to be hoped that they will do the same today before a Eibar which, as always, will come out to board. Need compels.
The hierarchy
The meeting is from vital
importance for what the European banknote may be within reach. A triumph in Ipurua would suppose to be installed in 41 points and the added feeling that the assault is more feasible. Otherwise, the aspirations would suffer a significant setback for a block that, for the moment, respect injuries.
The precedents are at least positive for the rojiblancos, who in the previous appointment in the Gipuzkoan field obtained a 1-1 that could have been a worse sign given the physical insistence and pressure of the football players. Fortunately, in a simple move but at the same time very difficult to execute, Williams put the tie to one. That day Berizzo recovered the theory of hierarchies to locate again Iago
Blacksmith under sticks to the detriment of Unai
Simon. From there he took the position until the end of the season.
But now the Alava will be in charge of defending the red and white goal. Your performance will be vital to make possible the way to a goal for which you have to spin very fine. And for that, apart from defending with the usual efficiency it will be necessary to show an effectiveness in different aspects that have been Athletic's workhorse throughout the season.
Improvements
mandatory
The lions must improve the quality of its centers, both on set pieces -the corner kicks against the Athletic
of
Madrid They left a lot to be desired- as in motion. They also need a smoother circulation, somewhat complicated given the intense pressure exerted by Balance and the difficulties of moving the leather in the spinal cord and surprising with unexpected movements.
Maybe it's a game that is decided by sparks, for those small details that are born from the soccer nature of two teams with similar proposals. Very intense and prone to generating second plays, in which Kike
Garcia or Enrich
they move very very well.
Back to your second home
That will be one of the great concerns of Garitano, than he returns to a stage that he knows very well and where he is valued and loved after his technical stage. Today may be, in a way, the ‘bad’ of the film if the Athletic prevails in Ipurua. It would be almost a thrust for the gunsmiths, who assume this encounter with more difficulties than in previous contests. It is a day of demands for the European appointment or for the qualifying displeasure if Eibar loses.
