So teams of First tab: Athletic de Bilbao

Football Notes started in a series of 20 chapters devoted primarily to additions to the La Liga teams are doing this summer. The domestic championship starts on 21 August and although there is still up 31 to close the transfer market, not a bad time to review, from now until the season starts officially, how the templates have been strengthened and what changes have taken place since the May 22 end of the course. The first post is dedicated to Athletic Bilbao.

New era in San Mames . Athletic has changed the president and coach, but not philosophy. Marcelo Bielsa has taken over from Joaquin Caparros on the bench and with the arrival of Argentine coach the demand increases. The Basques played the next season's Champions League after finishing sixth and demonstrate growth in recent years, they hope, once and for all, will translate into a title.

"Low

The main absence will be mentioned on the bench. Caparros is gone but he has his head held high, leaving the club installed in the quiet and disputing European competition. In the footsteps of the Andalusian have packed their bags Ion Vélez (Girona), Balenziaga (Las Palmas), Urko Vera Diaz de Cerio, Inigo Perez, and Koikili Zubiaurre, Bielsa dismissed players who just landed in Bilbao. The block is maintained, and what is best, has not left any of his stars, as the world champions Fernando Llorente and Javier Martinez.

"High

A, and of great caliber. Ander Herrera left a Real Zaragoza where he erected despite his youth leader to return to the birthplace in exchange for 8.5 million euros . The midfielder arrives to extend a core guarantees to which one must add their undeniable talent. It is also hoped that young people like Jon and Jonah Aurtenetxe Ramalho, European champions and Borja sub'19 Ekiz, begin to take minutes on a template with a lot of room for improvement (San Jose, Iker Muniain ...).

"Possible additions

Although it seems that Marcelo Bielsa's happy with what you have, the reality is that the Athletic could incorporate a '9 '. The current team has only in that position with Llorente, and after ruling the contiunuidad Urko Vera or Ion Velez, the possibility that an old acquaintance fiche as Aritz Aduriz take shape. The only 'but', that asks a lot for Valencia striker already has 30 springs. In any case, it seems that Argentina coach would lose sleep the possibility of strengthening their attack, because its gameplay may look more seconds the arrival of the top strikers born.

"Objective

Repeat success. Athletic is not configured to roughing it, quite the opposite. The Cathedral must enjoy football because the backbone of the team has. Winning the Champions League is not a utopia, and to fight again in the Copa del Rey. In the domestic championship what better than being in the top four. Parts there's plenty to do, to be seen whether Marcelo Bielsa is able to fit them perfectly.
