Andoni Iraola is living closely the evolution of Iñigo Vicente in Mirandés. The coach of the Burgos team values in a very positive way the season that the player on loan from Athletic is carrying out.
“I am very happy with Iñigo. At the attitude level, he has taken a very good step forward. Every time it comes out, either from the start or from the bench, it is giving us, ”he told Onda Vasca.
And he predicts a great future if he continues along this line: “Now he is doing very well. I am looking forward to this, because it has been good and I look good in form. And he is a player who can earn his place next year in Athletic ”.

Regarding the possibility that the rojiblanco team could have been faced in the Cup, the Usurbil team was not very convinced to cross paths with his former team: “During the entire Cup, Athletic could have touched us and for me it would have been very difficult. I did not want Athletic because in this competition they are a very tough opponent. At the end of the semifinal we got Real, which we competed with but we couldn't beat. And let's see what happens in the final ”.
Questioned about his future and if he thinks about making the jump to Primera, Iraola has been cautious: “Coaches are more exposed than players. In Second I don't know how many dismissals there have been, 16 or 17 … In the end we live almost daily. You have to focus on his work and my thing is to finish well this season in Miranda and then we'll see what happens“

The former Athletic player has valued the good campaign that his Mirandés was carrying out: “The truth is that it was a very beautiful season and we hope that it will also end well. We have had moments to enjoy this year. The Second is a very even category. There are no big differences between the teams and that does not allow you to relax and you have to be tense every minute, because if you are not going to pay for it ”.
He has also had words of praise for his players: “I cannot complain, because we have a very good wardrobe this year, with young people, very hungry, wanting to grow, and in that sense they are making it quite easy for me.”
All five changes benefit long and powerful rosters, which can ultimately change half a team and are not going to suffer.
What is not very clear is how the return to the competition will be: “It is impossible to know. C
I think that we are going to have a very high demand at the level of matches, players are going to fall for all the teams, and we do not know how we are going to get out of all this. We have been caught seventh at the positional level. It seems that you can be calm, but you are wrong two weeks and you are fooling around with what is below ”.
And he is contrary to the new rule of the five changes in the matches: “It benefits the long and powerful squads, which in the end can change half a team and will not suffer. Make a decision of this type without the possibility of going to the market … In the winter market you make a plan for what remains and it is a bit to alter the rules in the middle of the plan and with no option to change your staff, because if you get to know this just as you would have saved two or three more players. ”
