«The Athletic, the Athletic». This is how Iñaki Williams had to correct two members of the ‘La Resistencia’ team. In the interview with the Athletic forward and his brother Nico on David Broncano’s program, a “Bilbao” also escaped when naming the red and white team, a custom outside of Euskadi that is quite common and that not even the club likes. nor to the fans.
However, there are those, like Simeone, who are still determined to call the entire Biscayan capital that way, as has been proven on several occasions this season, generating significant controversy. This Monday, the eldest of the Williams brothers did not want to overlook the confusion of Ricardo Castella and Grison and gave them a slap on the wrist. It was at the moment when Nico gave them one of the gifts they brought to the program when one of them thanked him with “I, everything from Bilbao.”
The truth is that it is not very clear who called Athletic that name, since both, in a funny way, tried to avoid the problem and accused each other. The detail did not go unnoticed by the Galician communicator: “Excuse me?” he blurted out when listening to his colleagues. “Many people from outside say ‘Bilbao’,” he added.
A unique philosophy in the world
Athletic’s ‘9’ also noticed the mistake and jumped. «Who said Bilbao? The Athletic. It doesn’t sit well there, it sounds ugly. It is better to say Athletic. “Bilbao sounds ugly,” Iñaki added with good words and making the program’s collaborators understand the importance of calling Athletic by its name in Bizkaia.
Next, Broncano turned the page and began to praise the red and white philosophy, unique in the world. «We are proud to represent the Basque people and be different. People from all over the world came to the barge. “It was incredible,” said Iñaki. The presenter was given the celebration t-shirt and a ‘A lo bajini’ cap, which Iñaki ordered and designed before the final and which has already been put on sale for a charity purpose: «I got hot. I’m from Bilbao, you know.
