Marcelino's first trip with Athletic has its history

There is no truce. Once the official suspension of this afternoon's game against Atlético de Madrid at Wanda is known, Athletic will get to work in Lezama. Marcelino, who has only been in Bilbao for a week, has summoned his players for a training session that will begin at 11 am. The Asturian coach does not want to waste time, since next Thursday the lions will face Real Madrid in the second semifinal of the Super Cup.

A real odyssey, in any case, the one lived by the rojiblanca squad in the last hours. After training yesterday afternoon in Lezama it was time to travel by plane to Madrid to face the clash against Atlético de Madrid today in the afternoon. The lions had to wait more than an hour at Loiu airport for their flight to take off.

Then, once inside the aircraft, the commander recommended to those in charge of Athletic the return to Bilbao, since after several laps through the airspace of Madrid it was impossible to land due to the state of the runways. The red-and-white expedition arrived in Lezama around midnight.

The players had to return to their respective homes to rest and today, first thing in the morning, they were notified of the suspension of the match against Atlético. The game, yes, has been replaced by training in Lezama starting at 11 am.
