He Athletic surpassed loosely to Betis in San Mamés in all aspects of the game except the scoreboardwhich is possibly the most important thing. Valverde’s team overwhelmed Pellegrini’s team in the first half with three shots on the woodwork and countless clear chances that the lions were unable to convert. You can only ask them for aim because in the rest they were clearly superior.
The rojiblancos signed the best 45 minutes of the season with waves of good football and arrivals that did not translate into cods due to incredible mistakes and doses of bad luck at times. It’s annoying not to win a game like that, but if you have to choose, it’s better to leave with the good feeling that you deserved it and that if you play the same way for another 100 games, you’ll probably win 99 of them. This time it came out tails, but the fans were proud of their team for what they had seen on the green.
Forced changes
The last-minute losses of Guruzeta and Jauregizar forced Valverde to change the eleven. In addition to the return of Vivian and De Marcos, he had to include Prados and Djaló for those two late absences and still the team worked like a charm. The former Braga signed his best minutes with the red and white shirt, although it was not difficult either, overwhelming the rival when he fell to the wing and providing some assists that well deserved the cod reward. As with Guruzeta, Djaló also gives mobility to the Zurigorri attack front and that is a blessing for any coach.
Beñat Prados He has regained that point in the way he needs to develop his game and against Betis he once again showed himself overwhelming in the center of the field. Remember again the player who dazzled us last season and Jauregizar’s competition raises the level of the team in that area. Of the rest of the changes we are going to say: Vivian was imperial and De Marcos scored another assist with the Berenguer cod that is still sweet. With his 175 centimeters he opened a can that seemed sealed and sealed when he had not even been on the grass for five minutes.
this is football
No matter how much Pellegrini hid behind the wear and tear of the Cup, against a sixth-category rival against whom he played with substitutes, Valverde knew how to read much better what the crash required. Shortly after the match started he placed Iñaki Williams on the left to hurt Bellerin with his raises. He is not at his best level and went to the bench at half-time and the Chilean coach was forced to make a triple change during the break to balance the game because the lions danced against Euro Betis in the first half.
It is curious that playing with one more man against Mallorca you are incapable of practically generating chances and against a team, without sending off, in a good moment in such a way that it could have ended in a scandalous win. It’s football. We said after finishing the game against Slavia Prague that the Czechs had deserved more and that Athletic took the game with half a chance, well this time it happened the other way around because this sport has these things. Sometimes it gives you, sometimes it takes it away. As Bordalás would say, this is soccer dad.
