Beñat: ‘We are satisfied with the preseason’

The midfielder emphasises the good collective sensations of the group in the preparation matches of Athletic Club.

Beñat Exebarria has talked to the media in the press room of Lezama to express his feelings about the preseason. ‘Now it’s a matter of accumulating load -said Beñat-. Collectively we are doing what the coach is demanding us; we are transmitting to the matches what we do in training and that is why we are satisfied. The team has gone from less to more in the preseason and we are increasingly comfortable with or without the ball. Doing things right is going to give us morale for the start of the competition. Doing well these pre-season matches will give us confidence to better face the first League matches, which is what we are looking for. It’s key to start the season well because we didn’t get it last year and that weighs on you later in the year’.

For the Biscayan midfielder, ‘already 100% physically”, the intensity of the game will be capital in the course of the season: “We know that pressure is key to the opponent not feel comfortable and from there we can hurt them. We have to put intensity to every match because that way we are a difficult opponent who can beat anyone’.
