Jon Aspiazu, inseparable second coach of Ernesto Valverde, analyzes for the newspaper 'The mail' the league matches for Athletic since the resumption of the League. Today, given the late hour of the end of the clash of last Tuesday at the Camp Nou, he has referred in his rostrum to the duel between Barça and the lions. An analysis focused mainly on the role of Garitano's, but with a few points to Quique Setién's.
Aspiazu understands that “The changes that Setién introduced reactivated the Blaugrana team to a certain extent. The daring of Riqui Puig and the youthful insolence of Ansu Fati managed to break the attacking monotony of Barça ”.
The Biscayan coach highlights Athletic's tactical disposition (“excellent”), the defensive work of the lions to block the actions of Messi (“soul of all Barca attacks”) and that the game was long for the rojiblancos, among other things.
Under Valverde's time at Barça, both Riqui Puig and Ansu Fati debuted with the Barça first team.
Ansu was able to score 2-0 against Athletic
