ANDhe Athletic-Rayo focuses on the bench of the strip. Andoni Iraola, the fourth footballer with the most games played with the Athletic shirt, set foot on San Mamés for the first time as a coach. He does it with the team to which he was promoted last season and which has started LaLiga on a very good footing. Athletic and Rayo are two of the good news of this start of the course, so tonight’s duel is as apparent as possible that allows the game to be set at 10pm on any Tuesday. Of those who the next day maintain all the possible obligations of the fans: be they adults or children.
The nonsense schedule will make many have to watch Iraola’s first day on television on the bench of a field that one day looks like he will direct as a local. He is a technician to do, but with an enviable future. San Mamés accounts for his return, as much as he enjoys the departure of his team since Marcelino’s arrival. The Spaniard gave him a Super Cup last season and now faces the sixth game of the season undefeated. If Rayo does not score, which is something that Elche, Celta, Mallorca and Atlético did not do either, Athletic will have had their best start to the season of the entire century.
From Nico to Falcao
In Athletic there will be space for Nico Williams, a booming and growing footballer who offers more alternatives to the game of the rojiblanco team with each passing day. It was also night to see Sancet, but the Navarrese’s injury he suffered against Celta was complicated. His medial meniscus and medial lateral ligament are affected and he won’t return until after the next selection break.
The threat of Rayo is the Colombian Falcao, torment of Athletic on other occasions, which already scores goals for its new team.
