Athletic has arrived at the stadium to face Betis in their upcoming match. The team had a balanced game with a goal from their central defender, who has already scored four goals this season, including three in the league and one in Europe. In the absence of a traditional center striker, Coach Valverde has opted to use Unai Gómez as the attacking tip, supported by Sancet, with Iñaki Williams and Berenguer on the wings. It’s worth noting that Berenguer has alternated positions with Iñaki Williams on several occasions and was the one who provided the pass that led to the equalizing goal.
The team’s bench is interesting, as the decision not to start with a center striker is contrasted with the number of strikers available as substitutes. On the bench are Guruzeta, the usual starter; Martón, who scored in the recent European match against Viktoria Plzen and is expected to be given more opportunities in the next 24 hours; and new signing Maroan Sannadi, who has been called up to the team after just one training session.
Also on the bench is Yuri, although the side has not been wearing football boots and instead has been wearing sneakers due to tendinopathy. However, during the second half, Yuri has changed into football boots, indicating a possible return to action.
