Balenziaga: “I am ready to help the team”

“A player is needed and appreciated when things are not going well. We have to place the team before any personal challenges and commitments. That is what I am trying to do”. Without a minute in the league, Mikel Balenziaga continues to show his commitment to the group. The flank from Zumarraga is one of the alternatives for the left wing after Yuri’s injury and he showed excitement in his press appearance, after the training with Athletic Club, three days before the clash in Vigo against RC Celta:” I am ready, as I have been since day one. I feel very well, physically and emotionally. I may have an option now and if the manager gives me the opportunity as eleven, I will try and help the team as much as possible. ”

On the clash, Balenziaga is committed to achieving the first triumph of the championship at home. He also values the unbeatable team away from home: “We face a very difficult game, as it is always been the case of Balaidos. We know that Celta has high quality players, especially in the upper field, but for us it is a new chance to remain on top of the list and we will make the most. Of course, we are ambitious and we want to win outside San Mamés, but winning a game in First Division is very complicated and we also have to appreciate what we are doing, because it is not easy to have no defeats outside so far.”
