Marcelino does not dare to tell the truth and the Athletic players come out with masks

I have the feeling as if Marcelino is afraid to tell the truth to the fans and his players. As if you’re afraid that by telling them that you expect much more from them, that you don’t like what you see, they might break down. If not, I don’t understand those hot packs after Friday.

Which were intense and pressing, he says. That it lacked a bit of finishing, he adds. Intense? Bufff. And Maximiano, the doorman, I didn’t even see him. From the stands I think we see another game.

The 22 players jumped onto the San Mamés lawn with masks to educate spectators on their use. After seeing the disappointing shock they offered, perhaps they also did it so that they would not be recognized and go unnoticed. Among the new ones, Nico showed enthusiasm and repertoire, Sancet failed too many controls and was not clairvoyant and Zárraga showed kick and vision of the game.

Not everything was negative under the downpour on Friday. Simón took the chestnuts out of the fire for his technician with an anthological paradón, avoiding defeat. The two centrals were formidable; even, the wings and midfielders, collaborated in giving solidity to the group.

Above I take the two details of Raúl that Williams wasted. And finally, the contribution of the young blood, which looked hungry for minutes.
