Lived in Bilbao for 9 months to learn Spanish. It was the best thing I’ve ever done and met two of my best friends Alayn “seguimos recto” and Don Iker. Aupa Athletic !!
They made some great sales Javi Martinez 40 million euros & Ander Herrera 36 million euros was another and Aymeric Laporte 65 million. Kepa 80 million euros was probably by far one of the best deals. Shame he had so much potential this kid, should of stayed longer in Athletic Bilbao and then moved onto a bigger team in Spain. I think the media and fans in PL broke his confidence quite alot. After that row with Sarri for the League Cup he was never the same again.
Always a must do save for any Football Manager player. It's so uniquely challenging. The ultimate youth academy challenge. And they do it in real life!
Bilbao should build a team/brand similar to the 2009-2015 team. Reached CDR finals.. Played entertaining football(Bielsa Period) and competed in Europe..(Europa League).
This is no big deal. And this tradition is so exaggerated in the media. The hard reality is this: Bilbao just cannot compete for the title. What's the "achievement" in just saying "We have never been relegated"!! How far is that going to take u as a football club?? Not very far. If ur a true Bilbao fan, u must be wondering if u will ever see ur club compete for the league title in ur lifetime!
Well those years were under Caparros, Bielsa and Valverde coaching. The very name of Athletic Club whispered to any coach´s ear makes their eyes sparkle.
Don't really see why la Liga would give ESPN FC their broadcast rights. Every commentator is ignorant of and disinterested in Spanish football, and, even in live commentary on la Liga games, all they talk about is the latest gossip regarding Crystal Palace and Southampton.
@@glasses7190 Probably, but it seems a poor decision. Sometimes it's better to take a half step back and get a running start. ESPN undoubtedly offered the most and they have a more developed English language network, on the other hand taking less from a Spanish language organization initially with the intention of building a new English and multi-lingual presence in new markets would, at least, have had good faith operators with genuine ambition and interest in showing people what they're missing.

They are a kind of nationalist team, which is why the supporter base is so intense, and why the players care so much. Because blood is deeper than a paycheck. Obviously ESPN cannot acknowledge this for political reasons.

They are decorating why they have become an irrelevant team/club in Spain. Instead of asking to themselves why from being one of the two or three top clubs in Laliga in terms of fanbase and trophies until the 50's it turned to be one among many, they are only looking inwards themselves, telling themselves how unique and beatiful they are. The clubs that should deserve much more attention are smaller clubs like Getafe, that is basically a miracle of football.
isn't it strange how this isn't perceived a xenophobic in this day and age? Imagine if an EPL team said you can only play for them if you're ethnically British?
It's the context. Spain has a fractured relationship amongst its many cultural and ethnic groups. This was heightened during fascism and has never recovered. Britain is a much more homogenous country and being British isn't under threat and the English language and British heritage aren't in danger.
It's definitely a welcome surprise that it hasn't. You'd think people especially nowadays would jump all over their historical lack of minority players. The even better news is that the club wouldn't care. They're going to do it their way.
Said team would not survive the premier league. That’s why it’s so competitive. Why would a team in the hardest league want to limit themselves??? Also if you only allow British or English talent on squad then other teams would sell to you at a premium because they know you only buy British or English. Mexico’s chivas only allows Mexican players in their squad but every time they buy they get ripped off.
