Athletic has clearly defeated Racing in the first Cup tie

Oihane, Vanessa Y Only They have had to stay in Bilbao due to various physical problems, but even so, Loiu’s team has lined up a very powerful eleven in the Santa Ana de Torrelavega field. “I already said in the preview that we were going to come with everything we had. We have come with everything, the mentality was that. You cannot trust the Reto Iberdrola teams. There is no longer so much difference between the First and Second teams. We didn’t want scares. The message to the players and to the line-up has been one of maximum respect for Racing, which has competed well, with great intensity. They have had one or two approaches in the first half and in any mistake they can tie you. The second goal gave us a little more peace of mind. We came with the very clear mentality of competing against a great team”, he stated.
