Three points and followed, by Iñaki Ugalde

Athletic achieved last Sunday in Vallecas what no one had achieved up to now. The lions made Andoni Iraola’s well-worked Rayo bend the knee. Eleven home games later, the red and white feud was no longer impregnable.

GThey rule and Nico Serrano’s was worth three points. Another puppy that dares to knock on Marcelino’s locker room door at just 18 years old. It will now depend on him to end up knocking her down until he becomes one of the fixtures in the eleven. Time to time.

USo, in any case, it is not to go crazy. Prudence. The Asturian coach, under such a perspective, has already made it clear that he knows how to deal with these young players. One thing is to arrive, even if it is to be a starter in a game, and another, to stay.

RIt is necessary to also influence the work of the most veterans. Some had once again considered De Marcos and Balenziaga to be buried a few months ago, for example, and both continue to more than comply when required by the coach. The same as Dani and Raúl García. Iñigo Martínez is on another level. Muniain has been, is and always will be Muniain. And so it goes on.

Recorrido is ahead. Athletic, environment included, must know how to be through thick and thin. Not everything was so bad before, nor is it so good now.

EThis club moves forward with a unique and different philosophy. Something that should be clear both now that the ball enters and when it hits the post or goes out. Aurera!
