“We are ready to take a step forward”

After three rest days, taking advantage of the league break due to international commitments, Athletic Club has returned to training sessions in Lezama with an eye on Sunday’s match in El Sadar (2.00 pm) against CA Osasuna. After the session, Ibai Gómez has been confident of achieving the win away, which would be the first red-and-white one so far in the League: “The team is ready to take a step forward. We have been playing good games and we are working to be the same team away and home, I think we have already taken steps to do that.”

Despite the confidence in the triumph, the player from Santutxu recognises the potential of the opponent on Sunday, especially in his stadium: “We know it will be a difficult match because Osasuna is getting very important numbers in El Sadar. They have a great atmosphere at home and a lot of confidence. We have to be as brave as we were against Levante, to continue being that difficult team to make chances for us and to take advantage when arriving the goal. It is one of those games that any footballer would like to play.”
