Marcelino's “nightmares” at Athletic

April 2021 will be hard to forget. Athletic lost in that month the two Cup finals that it has played this year, the first against Real, corresponding to the 2019-20 season, and the second against Barça in the 2020-21 campaign. The Gipuzkoans won by the minimum in the match played on day 3 (0-1, with a penalty goal from Mikel
Oyarzabal) and the culé team passed over the lions in the disputed on 17 (0-4).

Marcelino He already recognized last year that these two defeats did enormous damage to the dressing room, especially the first one, in which there were more options. Yesterday the Spaniard recalled how hard it was to experience La Cartuja, the scene of the two matches for the KO title. “I had quite a few nightmares,” acknowledged the Asturian in line with what his players had felt.

Despite this, the rest period that ended yesterday with the start of the preseason has served to heal wounds. “On vacation I had to forget about all that. We have to say that we have come this far ”, added the coach, who once again obtained a positive reading. “You have to give it the importance for Athletic to play three finals, but it is true that it conditioned us in the League. La Real conditioned us in many aspects due to the obligation we felt ”.

The one from Villaviciosa also remembered the Super Cup title. “In order not to have nightmares, I make up for it with the title we won, that it is not easy to defeat Real Madrid and Barça.”
