At the sports level, Martin
Aguirregabiria live your most complicated moment in the Alaves. In just over a season, he has gone from being a permanent fixture in the team to gradually losing prominence in the past year and, worse, not counting for Paul
Machin in the actual. The Soriano coach has only aligned him two minutes in the first five days of League. It was in the first, against Betis, when it replaced Edgar
Mendez in the 88th minute of the game.
Since then, he has watched every match from the bench, including that of the Villarreal. That day, on September 30, he received a serious warning from his current coach. In the 76th minute, with him as one of the bench options, the Soriano preferred to put Sergi
Garcia, a pivot, to act in a right-handed band instead of Edgar
Mendez.

Formed in the lower categories of Sports
Alaves, where he began to play as a winger, he soon delayed his position to settle as a right back. In the 17-18 season, at the age of 21, he enjoyed his first moments with the first team.

Biasi after a tough defeat that left the Albiazul bottom team First on the 13th day when, on November 30, Javi
Hair, interim technician until the arrival of Abelard, gave him the opportunity in match of Cup in front of Getafe. 'The Pitu', which was in the stands of Mendizorrotza Seeing what was to be his new team, he took good note of the performance of that young side who, with total self-confidence, took over the right-handed band in that match.
Martín had his opportunity in First with Abelardo on the bench and became an indisputable player
That same week, on December 4, Abelard he debuted on the bench babazorro and gave Martin the alternative in First
Division. That day, the Alaves started with an epic comeback against him Girona (2-3), a comeback that would take him from last place on matchday 14 to easily save the category.
Precisely Paul
MachinAt that time on the local bench in Montilivi, he was a privileged witness of the young man from Gasteiz in the highest category.
Seeing that the boy answered him, Abelard He used him in 20 of the 24 remaining duels in that league. Thus, the full back, in his first year as a professional, completed 21 games in First
Division with 1,828 minutes and 4 goal assists. In addition, he also played 312 minutes in Cup; some very remarkable digits for a rookie. In the 18-19 campaign, he took part in 28 games -27 in the league and one in the Cup- with a total of 2,123 minutes and one goal.
But the best was yet to come. Summoned for the European Under-21 by Luis

SourceIn that summer, he was proclaimed continental champion with the Spanish team playing all the matches in the final phase of the tournament. At the time, his climb seemed unstoppable.
Of more less
However, as football is incomprehensible, its progression was slowed. In the past campaign, he continued to be an important man with Asier
Garitano, but it was no longer as indisputable as with Abelard. In some moments he lost the title in a tough sporting fight with Ximo
Navarrese on the right side.
With Asier Garitano, he was also one of the most used players in the Albiazul squad
Despite everything, he was the eighth man who played the most in The league, with 32 games played -31 in the league, 23 of them as a starter, and one in the Cup- totaling 2,188 minutes and one goal. Although his total numbers were better than in the previous year, his level of play dropped.
Now, it has gone from being one of the most used to the most complete ostracism. Paul
Machin has made it clear that, for now, he does not have him and, in addition, the club has signed the young Portuguese full-back Thomas
Tavares, one more element in the fight for a right wing in defense for now wholly owned by Ximo
Navarrese.
For all this, the young man from Gasteiz, who has always shown a lot of judgment and iron will, faces what so far is his most difficult challenge: getting the best of himself to convince his new coach and become an important man again in the team.
