Nekane: “The victory has strengthened us”

Nekane Díez, an Athletic Club player, has returned to the field just in time. The red-and-white striker injured her femoral biceps on the first matchday of Primera Iberdrola against Levante and has been a month without being able to compete. Last Sunday, the striker was in the starting line-up against Real Sociedad in the Reale Arena alongside Ane Azkona. Between the two fast attackers traced the play of the first goal in the first minute of the derby, something that Nekane recognises has commented before the opening whistle: “Just before the game, Erika was talking to us and told us that if Azkona reached the bottom line, will pass back to the penalty spot. The truth is that when I saw her running, I did not hesitate. I pretended to go to the far post, but with the intention of going to the penalty spot. And it came out round”.

Nekane has already made the measure of Real Sociedad as she has won ten times in 17 games against the white-and-blue team and suffered only one defeat. In addition, in the scorer section already accumulates 5 goals (adding last Sunday), only 2 below Erika Vazquez, who with 7, continues being the particular black beast of the realists.
