The central defender did not debut against Leganés due to the recovery of Yeray, and the Navarrese midfielder was the one sacrificed in the 24th minute after the expulsion of Unai Simón, for what comes fresh to this express playoff: «The coordination between the teams has been very good, the priority is the first team. If Gaizka (Garitano) is going to count on them, we will have Basconia players ”, commented Etxebe, who had pulled the basconistas Aitor Paredes and Beñat Prados, its natural substitutes, to supply any contingency, already in the dynamics of the branch in several meetings before confinement. They had both traveled to Marbella Football Center, but now they return to Bilbao before Vivian and Sancet take over and will play this Saturday in Sarriena (7:30 p.m.) against Portugalete, in the other strategic appointment of the Lezama pyramid that can place the second subsidiary piloted by Patxi Salinas in the bronze category. Too Ezkieta under sticks and steering wheel Unai Winner, who ran out of minutes at the top, reinforce and embrace a Bilbao Athletic without a chain, with the vitola of top scorer of the 80 teams in the bronze category.
For his part, the CD Badajoz coach, Pedro Munitis, for which a duel of famous ex-soccer players on the bench is looming, he acclimatizes with his pupils in a previous concentration in Estepona of a week to receive Bilbao Athletic in the best conditions. The Cantabrian mister describes the puppies: «It has the positive thing that it is a very happy team, with many legs, with a lot of work capacity, although at times it can be misadjusted for that youth ”, he relates. It has all its wards except the sanctioned Traore, means of containment with a lot of strap. Etxebe classifies his first rival as «A team with a lot of trade, very orderly, balanced and with quality to circulate», he says, based on a 4-4-2: «We know that we are going to have to play a good game to beat them. It will be a very close match, very closed, “said the elgoibartarra, although he assures that the crossing will not change with the Munitis team:” Our way of playing and thinking will not change. ” A Badajoz that also appears very shot, with three friendlies: 4-0 to Cacereño, 1-1 against Villanovense and 2-0 against CD Coria, with Not here, the partner above Santa Maria, with two goals.
As for the red and white squad, except Iñigo Baqué, who is not on time for his cruciate ligament injury, Etxebe can finally brag about handling various alternatives in the up positions. Up to the Costa del Sol with a friendly only against UD Logroñés dispatched with victory by the minimum, goal of Nico Serrano. Ewan Urain and Tascón enter the fray, plus Guruzeta and the aforementioned Serrano pearl, a winger who gives him different alternatives in attack. Bilbao Athletic believes that their team is more “than ready and if it had been round trip, too. The sensations are very novel for everyone». He maintains that in the physical aspect he has no doubts as it is a young and light staff. Vivian and Sancet now bring their experience unhooked from the first team to finish a job at the service of the club on the shores of the Mediterranean.
