Nico Williams, an Athletic Club player, has detailed the suffering caused by the pubalgia he endured throughout the season. "I had a very bad time," he confessed, admitting he feels indebted to the fans for not being able to perform at his best. The injury, he explains, has taught him to take better care of himself and "not to do things by halves".
Williams has left an enigmatic message about how he managed the injury: "I have learned to have my own voice." "I had the option to stop and I wanted to stop, but, well, I won't get into stories," he added, stating that "things happen".

In a more relaxed tone, he described the relationships in the Spanish national team's locker room as a "large family." Within this family, he assigns the role of "father" to Rodri, while Gabi, Lamine Yamal, Jeremy, and himself share the role of "little brothers." The surprise came when he revealed that Mikel Oyarzabal acts as the "mother figure," explaining that "when he needs to push you, he pushes you, but when he needs to give you affection, he gives you affection."

Athletic Club's news also includes the incorporation of Óscar de Marcos into the new coaching staff. The club legend, the second player with the most appearances, will act as a link between the board, coaching staff, and squad, at the express request of coach Edin Terzic. Joining him are Sebastian Geppert and Peter Gaydarov.
Meanwhile, Real Sociedad will enter the transfer market to "improve the team," particularly in defense and attack, but without "urgency," confirmed football director Erik Bretos, who reiterated confidence in the Zubieta academy. He also assured that goalkeeper Álex Remiro is counted on.
National team coach Luis de la Fuente called for unity and trust in the team. He expressed surprise upon learning that Mikel Oyarzabal did not touch the ball in the first 30 minutes of the last match.
The day's sports news also includes Jon Rahm's strong start at the US Open, Unicaja's victory over Valencia Basket with a great performance from Darío Brizuela in the ACB final, and the departure of guard Justin Jaworski from Bilbao Basket.
