Bilbao Athletic: Etxebe’s trusted men

Joseba Etxeberria jumped for joy in the field of Zubieta 1, with clear gestures of releasing the contained tension. It was not be for lowerly, As much as it is not very common to see these signs of effusiveness in the Bilbao Athletic manager. He had knocked out Sanse in the derby of subsidiaries on his court (1-2), not without suffering just in the final bars, when Xabi Alonso’s team pressed the most. Bilbao Athletic had left traces of its talent in many phases, with two goals and several triangulations of merit against a very even rival with whom it calibrated parallel generational Real and Athletic. In his retina, Etxebe kept intact the last minutes of Gobela against Arenas, Sarriena against SD Leioa and San Lorenzo against Laredo, in which the advantages were squandered and up to six points in total disappeared.

This time, at the Real facilities, the team remained calm, did not miss the marks and the concentration was maximum, precisely what the Elgoibartarra technician claims when they paint coarse. The second rojiblanco team adds 15 points, He is already second in this Subgroup A to one of the leader SD Amorebieta, with one game less (eight) waiting for the one remaining in Lezama against Barakaldo. He has only lost one game, by the minimum, against Racing. Therefore, the preseason plans, despite the carousel of promotions to the first team (Ezkieta, Vencedor, Sancet, Morcillo) and the transfers (Vivian, Sillero), are quite close to what was planned.

Etxebe, in these eight league games, has practically maintained the same block, with small tweaks, sometimes forced by the promotion of Zarraga or injuries. In the goal he has alternated Ander Iru and Agirrezabala, with notable performances by both, the sides are fixed, with Núñez on the right and García de Albéniz on the left, with a great performance on the part of both. In the center of the rear he has relied above all on the Luengo-Jaso tandem, with Paredes as the third actor, as seen against Sanse with a more than convincing performance from the U-18 international.

Beñat Prados, a substitute for Vencedor, is a fixed 6-player in the core, who excelled last year and is not far behind. He has taken the helm and diligently links construction with containment. Zarraga, with the 10 on his back, has thrown him a cable when he has not been required by Gaizka Garitano for the first team, corroborating his marvelous conditions to cover a lot of field, assume stripes, and be decisive, as his direct foul against the San Sebastian subsidiary on Saturday. While Diarra has effectively supplied it, making it clear that it is an all-rounder. Artola would be the third in contention of the creation triangle, with three goals and two assists, physical display, sanity and constant arrival in the sensitive area of ​​the opposing attack, he is always the smartest in the class.

In the vanguard line, the Nicos, launched from the Juvenile de Honor without passing the Basconia process, have been the most aligned, with a special emphasis on the youngest of the Williams, with two goals and three assists, reaching the highest note of the team. It has meant, while the stack lasted, a constant scourge of the opposing defenses with their devilish speed and their cuts without detaching from the ball. Serrano, still 17 years old, is having a little more trouble adjusting to the category, but he has left remnants of his talent and his evident verticality. One goal and two assists for the Navarrese winger. At the tip of the spear, Etxebe is still looking for his 9 because of the happy injuries, which has not allowed him a truce, or any regularity. There have been in the fight Ewan Urain, who after his goal in Zubieta, the second of the course, had to retire again touched from the field of play, Tascón, with more than interesting minutes, making it clear that he knows how to crack waists and is a fighter , and the Baqué patch, which is the same for a torn, as for an unstitched.
