“If we win on Sunday, we will see things differently”

Ibai Gómez believes that the team will “have another winning streak” starting with a victory in Mendizorroza against his former team, Deportivo Alavés

Ibai Gómez, the winger from Santutxu, has appeared in the Lezama press room after the morning training session in the week in which Athletic Club will visit Deportivo Alavés (Sunday 23, 2.00pm) in the derby corresponding to the 25th matchday of LaLiga Santander. Ibai admitted that the nine league matches without victory represent “a very bad streak“, while he assured that “the team wants to change it as soon as possible; we are not scoring goals and it is a problem that we must improve.

The player from Bilbao has insisted on the importance of the league competition. “Trusting everything to the Copa can be dangerous. We have an incredible opportunity, but we cannot neglect the league“, he said of the second leg of the Copa tournament in Granada after the 1-0 win at San Mamés.

Regarding the match of this Sunday in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Ibai Gómez will meet again with his previous club. “It will be very special to come back to Mendizorroza, I am very fond of Deportivo Alavés. They are a very dangerous and tidy team. The match can be very hard, with few goal options for both of us. They are more comfortable when they play against.

Ibai concluded with a positive message: “If we win on Sunday, we will see things differently. We want another winning streak.
