Marcelino García has fallen on his feet in Athletic. With just two weeks to work, he has changed the Basque team in such a way that he has been able to win his third Spanish Super Cup after winning no less than Real Madrid and Barcelona in three days.
“I have been in Bilbao very little, but productive,” he joked at Movistar shortly after winning the first title of the season. “Success belongs to the players. From last year’s work and from the two games they have won, Real Madrid and Barça. It has been incredible, “added the man from Gijón.
Humble, he remembered those who are gone. «I remember Aduriz, Beñat, San José and of course the previous coaching staff. They led Athletic to be able to play this Super Cup ».
And what merit does Marcelino have? He was insisted: «We arrived with all the humility in the world to work. Build on previous work and instill the concepts. Players are like sponges. They want to do everything that is proposed to them and they strive to do it. They were convinced that they could win this match. They are making our work very easy.
Finally, he referred to Iñaki Williams and the decisive ‘chicharro’: “Iñaki has scored a great goal. Impossible to improve ». The forward, by the way, did not hesitate to confess that it was the most important goal of his career. “For what it means for the team without a doubt. We have done what we have been doing and we have believed in ourselves. Many times it all comes down to heart and faith. Although many times we have been in tow. we have captured a beautiful game and that we are good at, “said Williams, the best player of the match.
