Garitano: “People’s health is the most important thing”
“No one in the locker room saw the chance to play at San Mamés without our supporters. Athletic belongs to its people, it is impossible to imagine they are not there,” said the red-and-white coach
In statements to the Club before the training session that Athletic held behind closed doors this morning in Lezama, Gaizka Garitano gave his opinion on the uncertainty that the COVID-19 creates in the team’s planning: “It is a situation that we have never experienced before and we have to adapt to what society demands of us right now. People’s health is the most important thing. Hopefully we will soon be able to restart our lives, not only in sports, but in other activities as well.”
Aware of the break in the competition, the red-and-white coach is committed to “live with the day to day as well as possible, but always keeping in mind that the players must be at their best when they have to compete again.”
Regarding the closed-door matches that are being played these days on different fields in Europe, Garitano said: “No one in the locker room saw the chance to play at San Mamés without our supporters. Athletic belongs to its people, it is impossible to imagine they are not there. Athletic belongs to the people, and it is unimaginable that our people are not there. The same happens with the Copa final.”
