Fatal mistake planned by valverde by not entering nico willliams at the beginning, I do not understand the coach's wishes, the fans want better results by getting 3 points, we see since nico entered in the second half their game (bilbao) is much better, it is useless to produce ball control if there is no attack produced, on the other hand getafe played well, solid defense was shown by them, fast attacks relying on long balls. much more effective, on paper bilbao won but in fact on the field getafe played well, in my opinion the achievement of 1 point for atletic bilbao is very unfortunate seeing them playing at home is a defeat.
Athletic Bilbao tactician Ernesto Valverde put Nico Williams on the bench until playing him on 72th minutes but can't help Bilbao securing three points on the first match after being draw by Getafe. Still not announce yet with Ernesto Valverde decision why put his important players on the bench due injured issues or internal problem that players linked with Barcelona due their interested for signing him.
Athletic Bilbao not perform well on the first match although had controlling ball possession more 70% than Getafe with 30% because have 7 shots with 4 on target. I think for second match, Ernesto Valverde must play Nico Williams on the first minutes if won't loss three points again or being draw, good start on the early season will motivate the players keep consistent their performance exactly Athletic Bilbao must break the Champion League spot standing for next season.
