Iñigo Martínez was left out of the final list of 26 components of the Spanish team against forecast for the World Cup in Qatar. To invest the time that seemed destined for the Ondarrutarra center-back dressing in short with The Red in the World Cup in Doha, has been inclined to enter the call of several of his companions and their respective partners heading to New York.
Iñigo Martínez enjoys these days in the famous North American city with De Marcos, Vesga, Dani García and Lekueall of them, curiously, members of the musical group Orsai, who enjoy the two weeks off administered by ernesto valverde so that they disconnect from football. An example of camaraderie that distinguishes the Bilbao squad, common in joint plans in holiday periods such as summers in Ibiza. The central, also on Barça’s agenda and without renewing his contract with Athletic with his future at forward since his contract ends on June 30, poses with the rest of the smiling rojiblancos in one of the main arteries of New York, bundled up after crossing the pond with lower temperatures. It marks a maximum of 9 and a minimum of 6 this week, far from the 40 of Qatar.
Athletic’s first team went on vacation just after winning the Copa del Rey match against Alzira (0-2), with Iñigo Martínez in the starting eleven, and before fulfilling the file against Real Valladolid in the League to settle in the fourth position with 24 points. Ernesto Valverde gives fifteen days off to disconnect. The date set for the return to the pit at the Lezama facilities will be Monday, November 28 after the hiatus of these two weeks.
