Simon: ‘Defending the Athletic shield is a dream’
The goalkeeper talks about playing ‘200%’ to defeat the Real Sociedad in the derby
Unai Simon has a cautious smile. The goalkeeper who has chosen Gaizka Garitano for the league opening feels more prepared than last season to defend the goal of San Mames, but his feet are on the ground. He has already played in Bilbao against Real Madrid, Barcelona and Real itself, against whom he wants last year’s spinit.
‘Defending Athletic Club’s shield is a dream‘, says the European U-21 champion. ‘These matches have to be played at 200%, we can do a lot of damage to the Real‘ argues the Alava goal, which has only conceded one goal in two games and in the first date, against Barça, was shown with two clears for two left-handed.
