Athletic–Valencia It is much more than a duel between Marcelino and Bordalás. They monopolize the spotlights and put the curiosity, although they are still punctual tenants of two historical benches. The duel between Athletic and Valencia is a face to face between two subversive characters; between two clubs that, from time to time and in their own way, rise up against the established power; who find in their social mass, each one peculiar, their muscle and their eternity.
Athletic and Valencia play their 190th match, including four Cup finals, the fetish tournament of both. Athletic hasn’t won it since 1984 and in this time Barcelona surpassed them in titles. But many listen “King of Cups” and still hear the roar of a lion. Marcelino, a capital coach, knows that Bilbao dreams of taking the barge out again. And he with getting on it. His fans have enjoyed like few others in times of pandemic, although he is about to reach orgasm.
This semifinal, in turn, is a stimulus for Che’s dressing room, which has passed those of Cain in recent years, and for his fans, who are (and will continue) fed up with Lim’s management, but who dream of returning to Seville in spring. Bordalás appeared in Mestalla saying that he wanted to recover the DNA of Valencia, which is said to be a “bronco and cupbearer” team, and few places like San Mamés to corroborate it. Great game today in La Catedral… and there will still be another one in Mestalla.
