Statements of Javier Uria

‘As president of Athletic Club I want to express my grief for the elimination of the Spanish Cup suffered against Real Unión Irún. This defeat has hurted any red and white member or fan and confirms that we need time and the effort of everybody to come out of this situation. When we talked about a period of two months we contemplated that, unfortunately, we could find these adverse circumstances. I know that is complicated keeping calm in these moments, therefore I reiterate the appeal to the unity and I reiterate that all the stratums of the club are involved in the same task that seven days ago.’
