Massive concentration in the sports city of the lions despite the restrictions
Lace endings are lived with passion. Even those that are played behind closed doors. About 2,000 fans fired Athletic this Thursday on the way from Lezama to Loiu airport. The lions have felt the warmth of their fans. The most boisterous have stood guard on the access road to the Lezama facilities since almost two hours before the departure of the coach. The players have felt his spirit when they entered the sports complex and were cheered one by one. The bus has left Lezama with an Ertzaintza van making its way through a human corridor that never stopped singing and colored the environment the color of its flares. The covid protocol was difficult to sustain. On the way to the main road the lack of control has been constant. In the following points of passage there has been more tranquility.
The start has been triumphant. And it has continued until the access roundabout to the airport, where a police control established to avoid trips not allowed due to covid incidence prevented there from being crowds. The gutters have had fans of the team passing through Lezama, Zamudio and Derio. Those who were waiting there soon found out that Athletic was arriving. The team was going preceded by about a hundred motorcycles, which have opened a gap from the parking lot of the restaurant Julen Guerrero, an icon of rojiblanca history.
As if they waited for the passage of a cycling caravan, the fans became strong on any ditch with a view. In Derio, with several lanes of the highway separating the houses from the bus, in several attics and upper floors there was a concentration of fans waving their flags. The entrance road to the airport also had its rojiblancos emblems with several young people waiting on two bridges with badges and flares.
Marcelino’s team had a farewell of heroes on the eve of battle. In the final of the balconies and the intimate celebrations all those who this Thursday have encouraged the team in its transition to the cup derby want to meet again on Sunday to receive an Athletic champion.
