After ten days of vacation, Amorebieta returned to work in Urritxe this afternoon. He did it in an intense afternoon session in which all the players participated at the same pace, including Xabi Etxeita eager to wear shorts again in an official match after long weeks away from the playing fields due to his pubic problems.
The Zornotzarra fiefdom, decked out and shiny after a coat of paint in some areas, is preparing to host this Sunday another one of those duels that will remain in the memory: the Copa del Rey tie against Celta de Vigo. A clash for which there are no more tickets left and which will force the club to make a significant logistical effort due to the fact of hosting a top-flight rival. For example, to locate the up to eleven cameras that the television operator will install.
At a sporting level, the blue squad has returned with their batteries charged and their minds clear to face a demanding second half of the calendar, and they want to take a first step by achieving a motivating victory against Rafa Benítez’s men, who have this appointment with the tournament of the KO is even worse for them than for the Biscayans
Because that’s what it’s about. To wipe the slate clean with the arrival of the new year and that the purpose of amendment begins to be fulfilled as soon as possible. The work week will allow Jandro and his team to do their best to try to regain the lost course in a course that started with a good face but that went awry as the weeks went by.
Pushed by their fans, who will pack Urritxe against the light blues, the Zornotzarras want to start the year with a definitive turning point, to gain strength to try to achieve a goal that right now seems distant. That is why the gaze focuses on the short shot, on the most immediate. The famous match by match.
Although it is inevitable to raise our eyes to look further ahead in a month of January that can and should mark the path of Amorebieta. For better or worse. On the horizon is the clash at the Carlos Tartiere against Oviedo on Saturday the 13th, the return to Lezama seven days later to receive an old team known as Eldense, and what seems to be a transcendental more than direct duel against Cartagena in Cartagonova, still with schedule to be designated. Without forgetting that if Jandro’s men make the effort to eliminate Celta, they would sneak into the round of 16 of the Cup that will be played in mid-January.
A month in which movements in both directions are also expected in the Amorebieta squad to reinforce those areas in which they are showing greatest deficiencies. And that points directly to the offensive zone. However, the delicate situation of the Urritxe club’s coffers suggests that there will not be too many arrivals. To occur, they are also required to open the exit door. For this reason, the Cup, although at a sporting level it may get in the way at some point, would be a great little lifesaver economically.
