The league start has come to confirm that Athletic is affected by an evil already detected in recent times. The enormous lack of punch of the rojiblanco team is causing it to find great difficulties to score goals during the matches and, as a consequence, the bad results are accumulating in the Bilbao team's locker.
And, taking a look at the most recent stage of the lions, it can be seen that they have not scored a single goal in five of the last six official matches they have played.
At the end of last season it was already impossible for them to score a goal in the last two LaLiga 2019-20 matches, which meant that they were unable to get into the Europa League. They could not pierce the meshes once in the painful losses embedded against Leganés (0-2) and Granada (4-0).
And in this beginning of 2020-21 they have only been able to score two goals in the four games played and both were in the Ipurua match against Eibar through Unai López (1-2).
This negative statistic had not occurred for almost a quarter of a century, when in 1996 he only scored one goal in six games and fell to zero in five of them.
Instead, They have no longer been able to make a target in the three defeats against Granada (2-0), Cádiz (0-1) and Alavés (1-0).
This negative statistic did not occur for almost a quarter of a century, when in 1996 Athletic chained a series of six games in which only one of them scored a goal, as revealed by Adurizpedia on its Twitter account.
Three of them were with Dragoslav Stepanovic on the bench against Barcelona (0-0), Espanyol (3-0) and Valencia (0-1). And the other three, once the Serbian was dismissed as rojiblanco coach, with José Mari Amorrortu as a coach against Celta (3-1) -Bolo scored the only goal-, Compostela (0-0) and Deportivo (0-0).
