FT: Alcorcón 1-0 Bilbao Athletic

Expected..

Win with lots of goals it's not common for BA so let's comment it, no?

Yesterday in San Mamés, Bilbao Athletic 4-2 Ponferradina. Ager Aketxe x 3 + Santamaría.

The addition of Ramalho and specially Ager Aketxe to this squad has improved a lot the competitiveness of this team. Watching Ager dominating so easily in the difficult Segunda División makes me wonder why wasn't he playing in the first team, is Eraso better than him right now?

6 points from salvation at this moment, still very very difficult, but at least we see something different lately. Also, for the first time in the season Ziganda has all the players available (except Undabarrena). We've suffered from lots of injuries throughout the season.

Highlights: http://www.athletic-club.eus/cas/ficha-del-partido/3_2108/2015-16_bilbao-athletic_ponferradina.html

Ziganda played with:

Alex Remiro

Yeray Álvarez - Jonás Ramalho - Óscar Gil

Markel Etxeberria - Unai López - Mikel Vesga - Urtzi Iriondo

Iker Guarrotxena - Ager Aketxe

Gorka Santamaría

Also played: Villalibre, Iru, Olaetxea.

Will BA be capable of winning two consecutive games in a row for the first time this season?

IN a bit more than one hour the young lions face Córdoba in San Mamés. Ziganda will start with:

Alex Remiro

Yeray Álvarez - Jonás Ramalho - Óscar Gil

Markel Etxeberria - Unai López - Mikel Vesga - Urtzi Iriondo

Ager Aketxe

Iker Guarrotxena - Gorka Santamaría​

Worth mentioning that Bilbao Athletic is currently 6 points off salvation.

Nope...already 2-0 down, started off pretty well and active but Cordoba scored from the first more serious opportunity...

Huesca 1-2 Bilbao Athletic

Aketxe with the free kicks is another story..

[Arrieta]

How come BA are playing the last couple games at Lasesarre? I thought the reason they had to play all the games at San Mames (and not some at Lezama) was they could only use one stadium??

 

[Iribar]

Works in San Mamés´ rooftop

 

[Arrieta]

Yeah, but weren't they told at the start of the season they could only use one stadium? Why the change now? (Surely the roof maintenance could have waited a few weeks...)

 

[Iribar]

It´s not maintenance per se, it´s a big work. I think it will cost around 8-10 million Eur. They are adding a new ring in the roof so people in the first rows don´t get wet with the rain. I think that if they waited for the segunda season to be over then next season the roof wouldn´t be on time, that´s why the had permission from the league to start earlier.

 

[Iribar]

Bilbao Athletic´s last game in Liga Adelante. Min 15, Bilbao Athletic 0x0 Tenerife.

Last lineup in Segunda:

Alex Remiro

Markel Etxeberria - Óscar Gil - Unai Bilbao - Enric Saborit

Unai López - Mikel Vesga

Jurgi Oteo - Lander Olaetxea - Iker Guarrotxena

Asier Villalibre

Bench: Jon Ander, Magdaleno, Ramalho, Santamaria, Iriondo, Gorka Iturraspe, Córdoba.

A bit weird watching Guarrotxena in the lineup knowing the club does not count with him for next season. Something similar to Ramalho, who has been put on the bench.
