Valverde rues missed Athletic chance

Ernesto Valverde is disappointed Athletic Bilbao missed the chance to get points back on their rivals and wants a return to form against Getafe.

Athletic go into the game against El Geta with two defeats and a draw in their last three and Valverde sees the run as a lost chance.

“It’s not that they have gone far above us, because the matches are difficult to win, it’s difficult to score points,” he said at a Press conference, Mundo Deportivo reports.

“But it is true that we have lost the opportunity to have cut the points.

“We had a good chance of getting three points [against Espanyol] but we were not very good, especially at certain stages of the first half.

“When we wanted to react it was too late. We came from a good run in which we won five games in a row and this week we suffered a break.

“I’m asking for a lot of rhythm in the game from the first minute. We have a chance to take three points.”
