Imanol Etxeberria's analysis of Athletic's defeat yesterday

Yesterday in Zorrilla We saw situations that are being repeated at the start of the season for the rojiblancos. Little football and a lot of heart. And thanks to the heart and the delivery Athletic He can add scoring chances that yesterday, even with a poor game, he had and perhaps even deserved more in the second half. But in football everyone knows that you cannot give anything away and if you give a lot on top of that, it is difficult to win or even score. Again as against him Seville at home, the first 60 minutes were very poor with little baggage in the last third of the field. Some shot of Black pudding (who seems to be the only one who is encouraged to shoot outside the area) and several set pieces that could have been the occasion of having served well. They were not taken advantage of.

At minute 16, a failure of Simon took advantage of it well Orellana to overtake his team and break the script

Seeing the situation of the locals, it seemed like a good opportunity to go looking for them, pressuring and overwhelming them, causing their failures to make them nervous. Maybe it was the plan, but in minute 16 a failure of Simon took advantage of it well Orellana to overtake his team and break the script. From then on, little game was played and the visitors who could not even find Raul
nor to Muniain, yesterday in his 430 game. Followed by 1-0, a clear chance for the locals that could have been the finishing touch and that went to limbo. Hope for the visitors, who had more ball, played in the opposite field, but without depth, without creating chances. Masip he looked like the fancy spectator. His team playing against and with arreones by the bands. Removing the errors from Athletic, too little.

The second half begins with a jug of cold water for him Athletic. Everything discussed in the booth collapses with the goal three minutes after frames
André by taking advantage of a rejection of Unai. With such an advantage, those of Pucela are ordered, come together and close in their field, giving up space. The Athletic makes three changes in one go and the result is the trap of the Valladolid. Clear visiting occasions come from the head of Villalibre with an incredible reaction of Masip clearing a corner and a one on one Williams-Masip with the goalkeeper winning the duel in a display of endurance and cold blood avoiding the clear shot of Willy and aborting the best visiting occasion. Tremendous the goalkeeper who until now had gone unnoticed.

The game was over when Athletic and anxiety could. I wanted the game and I was looking for it with my heart

As the minutes passed, fear and anxiety joined in the field. You could see it in the looks, it showed in the sighs and fuss. The game was over when Athletic and anxiety could. He wanted the game and was looking for it with heart, giving himself to the end. The Valladolid He needed it like eating and closed tightly before the visitor's push. Nervousness surfaced and in these that came the penalty in favor of the Athletic at 82 '. Willy hits with cold blood and from there until the end one of Villalibre and another of Sancet that almost goes away in what had been a good combination on the left wing between Yuri Y Berenguer.

Good red and white reaction but insufficient this time. Half an hour of drive, heart and desire with opportunities but this time they did not bear the desired fruit.
They have to refine the goal men more, he already says it Garitano that the goal is very expensive and the team needs it. In the absence of a match we find ourselves in a difficult situation again and with the national team break again. There will be time to analyze, correct and improve aspects that are needed to get out of there, be more regular and try to compete the same during the ninety minutes.

In Valladolid yesterday, in 95 they breathed like coming out of the depths, they celebrated as if they had entered the Champions League. Here we have to look at it well, there are 5 defeats and 3 victories, we look down and it is not a good sign.
