It is the time of truth for the Royal Society. The low level of competitors in Europe of this course has allowed numerous punctures and bad performances to the Txuri Urdin, who are still alive in battle, but Europe does not expect forever, and the rivals either. The Basque derby against Athletic tonight is the perfect occasion to compensate for a loss as hard as that of Vitoria and hit on the table. There are five finals, with the emotional 'punch' that he supposes, although he denies it, that Imanol He has already announced his goodbye to the club of his life.
Anoeta, who will pay tribute to legends as Rekarte, Of Paula, Aranzabal o Albertoit will be a place of thanks to the employer for everything achieved, but it must also be a boiler that squeezes the premises and adds energy in search of victory. The template must take a step forward to achieve the goal and men as Oyarzabal, Bright, Kubo o Aihenamong others, they will be responsible, more than ever. Everything aligns so that the night can be perfect, but the most important thing is missing: prove it about green. A defeat against the neighbors would be a difficult squeak to fit that would also reduce the European options of the Real.
The undefeated of the Oriotarra coach in Anoeta against Athletic (five victories and two draws) is enough guarantee to believe in seeing a more electric, better and effective version of the realists this time. Last season they swept those of Valverde 3-0 with game exhibition, in the previous one they also beat them 3-1. It is not time to break the streak and to avenge bad performances such as the San Mamés derby.

The real is played more
The duel is undoubtedly more relevant to the real on this occasion. The Txuri Urdin, who only aspire to the seventh place in the best case, want to cut the distance of four points with Celta, who plays against Madrid, and two with lightning, Mallorca and Osasuna. They carry three games without winning and it is time. The Athletic, meanwhile, will arrive with the bad milk still of the European win against Thursday. An injured Athletic is always dangerous. TO Valverde The pulse has never trembled when it comes to rotating if you think that the next match is more important, so many substitutes are expected in the 'eleven' to give rest to their pillars to try the comeback on Thursday in Manchester. It has room to do it because they are rooms with six income points on the sixth. Even so, they could enter the 'eleven' players like Vivianexpelled, or Benguerchanged in the first part in San Mamés. They will be low Sancet y Nico.

Trust in yours
There have been no games three days ago and their burden has fallen considerably but Imanol It still does not have the workforce 100% to face a match as important as this derby against Athletic. Has lost for the remaining of the season to Óskarsson and still does not have its headline Zubeldia. Recover a Aguerdyes, but not 100%, just like Barrenetxea y Becker In the attack.
Thus, the 'eleven' holder tonight should not vary too much from that of the hard defeat in Vitoria, despite the bad sensations shown in that meeting. Will return Aihen to the left side and Pacheco It will leave its place to the Moroccan power station, but everything else could be maintained. Treacherous It has options but Ness It seems to be the holder. Another doubt could be in itself Jon Martín You will keep the site with four centrals available, but your performance leaves no doubt. Pacheco y Aritz They aim to be the substitutes. Bright will be the core leader again, he will surely have Brais on one side and the technician's confidence in Marín could be kept ahead of a Sucic come less lately. Above that everything is clear for the state of others. Kubo, Oyarzabal y Sergio They will repeat as a trident except surprise. MARIEBEKURENA, Barrenetxea y Becker They will be bazas for the final stretch.
