Yuri Berchiche He is a man who always speaks clearly. Today he has shown it again in Lezama. The Zarautz winger has acknowledged that he came “with a loaded shotgun”, but just before appearing before the media in Lezama he has repented and has launched a more moderate message. Even so, he has left some statements to highlight after reappearing with the team after the pubalgia operation.
“The process has been so long that I don’t even remember. What a player always tries is not to have surgery. We try by all means not to do it. We opted for a conservative treatment and it is clear that it has not worked. We decided to operate and I think it was the best decision we could make. The sensations are very good and now I feel very good. It was a shame I didn’t have surgery earlier. There is no need to dwell on what happened”, said the Gipuzkoan.

Now I am in a very good moment, better than I expected. There is no need to dwell on something that is not going to change. I know what has happened in this whole process. Now we have a very important game and I want to focus on that”.

Everything that comes to us is very beautiful”, he explained.
