Wins the battle Muniain Griezmann

One was born in 1992, the other in 1991. They separated a year, but the quality, the impudence and shame have little in common. Iker Muniain and Antoine Griezmann represent the youth of Athletic Bilbao and Real Sociedad at the same time it shows that age does not imply knowledge. The first was born in Pamplona and at 14 he already knew what he was training with the 'Lions' seniors. The second is made in Macon, a small town in the Burgundy region of France but from 13 years saw the elastic-urdin txuri thanks to a clever scout club of San Sebastián. The emergence of the French, since his first team debut in 2009, has been meteoric. Of Navarre loomed ways from that decided against Young Boys in the same year. Last night, at San Mames, measured forces two of the pearls have emerged in recent times in Euskadi. And the battle, with both acting as the protagonist, the local won with claw included.

That is Muniain crack willow is an open secret. It senses since I replaced Toquero in his debut on July 30 in the Europa League. He did Caparrós hand, a kind of scout who acts as coach to give opportunities to young geniuses. If in Seville and did so in Bilbao has not stopped. He became the youngest player to debut officially in the red and white sheepskin and from there, with the necessary tranquility, without strain, has been escalating and mature to reach an important place in the current squad Bilbao. Tier adores him and if the destination is not distorted, you can still slipping in the history of Athletic in the same manner as between the defenses. Elusive, as few, it was precisely with the good of Toquero - whose story is also one to remember - who embittered the late Martin Lasarte pupils while winning the first of many battles that await you at Griezmann.

French life can be summarized in a 2009 in which chance and as they clung to the hand to make it shine. As Muniain, his name began to not sound like someone Chinese to become indispensable in the Royal Society. Last year, dazzled, rebelled in a league ahead of that was the great revelation and this, in the highest category, is still the same player without blushing at no legs tremble despite how complicated life is theoretically a Newly promoted. You know what it is to score in the top flight and arrived at the derby after signing the victory with two goals against Sporting de Gijón last week. However, and despite a second half in which the ball was in charge of the San Sebastian, the French had to settle for being the author of the center that inadvertently would get into his own Javi Martinez in the first issue and to accounts would be final. 38,000 souls encouraging a fantastic derby that ended 2-1 and enjoyed a grieving young, brash and shameless. That is one of many.
