Unai Simon did not dispute the final of the Copa del Rey. Ernesto Valverde opted for Julen Agirrezabala, who was the one who had played throughout the competition. He had to suffer from the bench as he himself confessed, but he also highlighted the role of his teammates on the pitch.
The goalkeeper boasted the values of young people who come from the quarry and who give everything for the shield. The clash that Unai Gómez had with two rivals from Mallorca stood out and ended with a gap in the head. Despite that, the player wanted to continue. “He knows what Athletic is and fights for it,” said Unai Simón.
Unai Simón and his concern
He joked about check “if it now floats” the Barge of celebrations of the Bilbao entity, after his team won the Copa del Rey this Saturday after a 40-year drought, with a victory on penalties against RCD Mallorca at the La Cartuja Stadium (Seville).
The Athletic barge rests in the estuary next to San Mamés.
“It exists, let’s see if it floats now, which is the million dollar question. It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter… The truth is that we are very happy, all of Bilbao is very happy for what we have just done and The truth is that we are very proud of all our people, of all the people who have been by our side and we hope to receive them on Thursday,” he told Movistar Plus+ after the red and white victory in that round (4-2).
In this sense, the goalkeeper has predicted the next hours for the champion team. “I understand that it will be a bit of an opportunity to be together, the locker room, the technicians, the families. With all the people who have been by our side at all times, in the good times and the bad, let’s all make a stay and take advantage of these days until Thursday, which are going to be very short, for sure,” he described.
Furthermore, he was moved when looking towards the stands. “I see my mother, I see a lot of people and I understand all the people here who have children, their families… All these people are supporting us in our entire sporting life and what is not a sporting life, so that’s why it goes for them and for all our relatives that maybe they are not supporting us,” stressed Simón, substitute during this Copa del Rey.
“It’s the worst thing that can happen because you’re overwhelmed. It doesn’t depend on you, it depends on the people who are on the field. Getting to penalties, I already said it from the beginning: ‘We’re getting to penalties… ‘But hey, if we go to penalties and win this way, then more hope and much better,’ he ended by saying.
