The data was provided yesterday. Joseba Agirre, the athletic director of Women’s Athletic. The season of the last league title (2015-16) there were 17 foreigners in the League. In the one that ended on Sunday, May 15, there were 126. The difference is significant in only six years. This indicates the difficulty of competing for the team led by Iraia Iturregi, with a Barça out of the table that has won all the games to become champion with absolute ease after scoring 159 goals and only conceding 11 and a Real Madrid that is following a similar path. Something very similar to what happened years ago with the men’s team has happened to the women’s team. The transfers of foreigners and the increase in budgets harm a quarry club like Bilbao.
Even so, the rojiblanco team has had a more than worthy season fighting for the privileged places until in the last phase of the course they distanced themselves from third place. Next season we will have to reinvent ourselves again because two very important players like Moraza y Lucy and leave football Vanessa, Istillart y Erika. It seems clear that it is going to be more and more complicated. It is far from a lack of ambition, it is reality. There is no need to be deceived.
What it is about is that the team compete as it did in the previous season, fight for the noble zone and not drop from the top positions that give the right to play in Europe to maintain the interest of the fans that come every fifteen days to Lezama.
