Unai Simon return to the discipline of Athletic with the title goalkeeper band of the Spanish team. Luis Enrique, at least, has bet on the rojiblanco goal for the last three games played by the Red. The last of them, of an official nature, also ended with a resounding 6-0 against Germany.

“The truth is that I did not expect it. If they tell me I was going to play three games when I reached the concentration … He sees that the coach trusts the three goalkeepers he has a lot. This time it was my turn and to keep working”, Replied the rojiblanco goalkeeper to the TVE journalist at the end of the match played last Tuesday at La Cartuja in Seville.

Unai Simón kept his feet on the ground both at grass level and at the microphone. “There has always been debate in goal, not just now. Kepa and David (De Gea) have always lived it that way, who has more experience. The truth is that now each one of us goes to our clubs and we move a bit away from the mentality of the national team and then arrive in the next call with our batteries charged and give everything”, Cleared the Athletic goal.

The truth is that I did not expect it. If they tell me I was going to play three games when I reached the concentration …

Feet on the ground

The same question was asked by MD in full confinement, with the competition suspended, and the Athletic goalkeeper replied “I feel very well, but there is a very high level of goalkeepers. I didn't count on it, because I haven't been to a call yet, so you have to be realistic with the senior team; but I wouldn't be surprised if it was because I'm doing well at my club. That's why they call you. The thing is to keep doing things well at Athletic and what comes, will come; if not this summer, the next one ”.
