Imagine for a moment that the change on the Athletic bench had been the other way around. What Marcelino was the coach dismissed and Gaizka Garitano your substitute. What would have been said in the rojiblanco environment of the deriotarra coach arriving in Lezama with a work group made up of seven people, he included? And that two of those professionals were direct relatives of the Garitano himself and of Patxi Ferreira, your second?
The Bilbao club, once again, swallows everything. Jabo irureta In his day he used a proverb in Basque to refer to this particular dichotomy: “Etxean otso, kalean uso” (at home, with those at home, wolf; in the street, with those outside, dove). Imagine also that Garitano is given as soon as he reaches the bench for removing from the starting team Berenguer, the fourth most expensive signing in the club's history. By the way: 35 million losses recognized by the club itself plus 10 million euros invested in a new player, dismissal of the two coaches and the physical trainer of the first team and hiring of a new working group made up of seven professionals … What a management!
Good luck Gaizka, you deserve it, and welcome and good luck Marcelino. Athletic continues
