Roberto Rios (Bilbao, 1971) is the history of Athletic Club and Real Betis. The remembered international center back will experience tomorrow’s clash in a special way, as he always does when his two favorite teams face each other. This time, Biscayans and Verdiblancos will face each other in San Mamés in a great game, fighting in the noble zone of the table, tied on 18 points, just two away from the Champions zone.
Ríos, who currently lives in Seville, has given an interesting interview to Basque Wave in which he analyzes the preview of this Sunday’s clash. Regarding Betis, he emphasizes that “they lack Iscothe lighthouse of last season, and Lo Celsus It has been added at the last minute. With his spark, the Argentine has taken the games forward but the team was not playing well, and what is life, he got injured and both in Pamplona and against Atlético, Betis has played its two best games«he assures.
In this sense, the former defender analyzes the Betic strong points in the Cathedral. “TO Abde Last year it was more difficult and this year he has started with confidence. He is an unbalancing player, he is in very good shape, he does not stop facing and is one of the dangers,” says Roberto Ríos who also highlights the role of Johnny Cardoso: «He came in the middle of last season and was exceptional. This year he is weaker, with problems, like all those who play Copa América and Eurocup, to do the preseason and adapt to his new teammates, but he has recovered his level again and gives a lot of balance,” he explains about the North American midfielder.
Finally, the now coach talked about Ernesto Valverde’s team: «Athletic puts a tremendous rhythm into it, and at home, much more. The physical? This is what football is leading us to. Athletic saw him soon and last year he gave a recital. It is very difficult to play against them, and they make it a rule not to slow down. It’s going to be a very nice game to watch.”predicts Roberto Ríos.
