Marcelino still does not have a renewal offer on the table, although both the president Elizegi and the sports director Alkorta have already advanced that they are about to leave their signature stamped before the end of the mandate in June. The results that the Asturian coach is reaping recommend tying him up as soon as possible, but he does not want to divert attention in the midst of the fight for the Cup final and for going back to European positions in the League. Today he had two journalists as interlocutors, one from Deia and the other from AS, and he has clarified everything related to his immediate future: “I am not aware that he has the offer, but I have known for a long time that the current board would like us to continue here. This is how they transmit it to me with their affection, professional respect and the level of relationship that exists, but there is no specific offer. But it is not the time now. Surely that moment will arise, surely it will arise. And please, I would like this topic not to be recurring. The moment will come and now is not the most opportune with everything that we are risking to influence this issue”, explained the Asturian coach
There is a thorny issue in this paradise that Athletic has become in 2022. The ‘Sancet case’, after the striker suffered an accident and ran away when the Police approached. Elizegi explained that the house “is swept clean” and Alkorta stressed that “everything is solved”. Marcelino has shelved the matter: “I have had the opportunity to speak with Sancet with respect and affection, and with experience as a father and coach I have given him my advice. We can all make a mistake. As a professional you have to know what it suits him or not and that everything becomes an anecdote”. He added that the issue “is closed”, and the most important thing “is that his knee is well, that he continue with his evolution and that he finds himself well with us”. He promotes that “he continues with his evolution”, since “he is an excellent boy, he has a very good attitude, together with a great talent”. “We must all try to create the best environment for him to grow as a footballer,” he concluded.
What’s more, García Toral valued the Cup confrontation against Valencia, with all the curiosity in the world to return to a field where he won the tournament and was kicked out the back door the board is headed by Peter Lim. “On an emotional level, they were the rival I least wanted, I have the utmost respect and affection for the players, the club and the fans. Another different thing is the leaders. It’s exciting and complicated. I was very good, just like here now; the fans He treats me phenomenally, the players and the press. We would have liked the order to be reversed, we are very excited on Wednesday we will analyze it”.
