Tasteless dish, by Iñaki Ugalde

Serious problem for the candidacy of Uriarte in the final stretch of the elections for the presidency of Athletic. It doesn’t have to be a tasteful dish to present your football general manager in the morning, the professional on whom your entire sports project is going to pivot, and be able to do without his services hours later. The Mexican Carlos Aviña has taken its toll on some unfortunate tweets that are not even worth commenting on published a few years ago.

Una lesson, in any case, to take into account. It is not bad to try to renew, improve and optimize everything related to Athletic’s academy work, but what can never be neglected is what is fundamental. And in these elections for the presidency there is too much talk about innovation, at many different levels and due to different assumptions understood in the matter, without these having even landed in the Bilbao entity itself.

AYesterday, without going any further, a professional with the indisputable stamp ‘made in Athletic’ who is still immersed in high-competition football showed me his indignation at what he understood to be a lack of respect towards the technicians and other workers at Lezama. It seems that at the rojiblanco club nothing has been done or is being done well. That they have to come from outside to teach those inside how things have to be done.

JThis would be to influence that the people from home start with the advantage of feeling the shield from txiki. Improve and advance yes, but without ever forgetting the roots. Spitting up is usually not advisable.
