Mikel Oyarzabal had been struggling with a muscle complain this week. Last night, he spoke to the manager and told him, “I am ok, you can count on me”
And in football, specially in a small competition, you have to risk sometimes.
So after not touching the ball for the first half hour in the Cabo Verde game, he has become the first person ever in a World Cup to score twice and assist once in 24 minutes
He scores almost a goal per game since he scored the winning goal against England in the Euros
He is our anti hero, never the poster boy. Mum, a banker, and dad are his agents, only one magazine had him in the cover before the World Cup but Luis de la Fuente has called him “the player with the greatest influence in a team in the world”
Paul Scholes on Mikel Oyarzabal delivering 21 G/A in his last 13 games for Spain:
🗣️ “The funny thing about Oyarzabal is that people keep talking about other stars, yet he just keeps producing numbers that most forwards would dream of.”
“Fourteen goals and seven assists in thirteen games is ridiculous. If a bigger-name player was putting up those numbers, we'd be hearing about it every single day.”
“He's one of the most underrated attackers in world football. No drama, no headlines, no social media circus — just goals, assists, and top performances whenever Spain need him.”
“The only game without a goal contribution was against Cape Verde, and then he immediately came back and started delivering again. That's what top players do.”
“What I love is his consistency. He's not a player who disappears for weeks and then scores a hat-trick. He impacts games constantly.”
“Everyone talks about Spain's young stars, but Oyarzabal is quietly becoming the player opponents fear the most. Every time he gets near the box, something happens.”
“At some point, we need to stop calling him underrated. When you're producing 21 goal contributions in 13 games, you're not underrated anymore you're simply one of the most effective players in international football.”
“And if he keeps this up throughout the World Cup, people won't be asking why he's underrated. They'll be asking why they didn't appreciate him sooner.”
Mikel Oyarzabal has delivered 21 G/A in last 13 games for Spain. 🔥🇪🇸
Only one game without a G/A, it was against Cape Verde… and immediately back at it. ✨
14 goals, 7 assists, 21 games. 📈
50 años después de la histórica imagen de Atocha frente a la prohibición del franquismo, Jose Angel Iribar e Inaxio Kortabarria vuelven a recrear el icónico momento en San Mamés portando la ikurriña y la bandera de Nafarroa en el espectáculo Mitoaroa.
Si eres euskaldun y hablas mal castellano eres objeto de memes y te hacen un personaje en Vaya Semanita.
Si eres estudiante de colegios pijos y no sabes euskera te hacen reportajes victimizándote.
Eso es el supremacismo (normalizado).
Tras 27 meses que sólo tu sabes por lo que has pasado, hoy vuelves a hacer lo que más te gusta, qie es ayudar a los demás.
Estoy seguro que superarás esta prueba y poco a poco conseguirás todo lo que te propones.
Estamos muy orgullosos de ti y ojalá la salud te respete.
Cuidate!!

⬇️ El caso está archivado, Bingen Zupiria sigue en su puesto, los ertzainas agresores siguen haciendo el bestia en la calle y Amaia aún padece secuelas de la agresión que sufrió solo por estar en la calle.
Estamos hartos de impunidad policial y política.
Hace dos años, Amaia Zabarte, una aficionada de la Real Sociedad acabó en la UCI con lesiones graves después de recibir un balazo de foam en la cabeza y ser pateada en el suelo por un ertzaina.
La Ertzaintza no hizo nada para identificar a los agentes.
Bingen Zupiria tampoco. ⬇️
Me pasan este vídeo de la concentración de profesores junto a la Conselleria d’Educació, hoy en Valencia. Este tipo de agresiones de la policía son inaceptables 😡😡
Gezur bakoitza gezur handiago batekin estali nahian, eskuetatik joan zaizu.
Aurrera ihes egiten ari zara, ebidentziarengandik ihesika.
Hanka egin nahi baduzu, ondo. Baina hobe zure etxera bada. Onartu @ertzaintzaEJGV kontrol kanpo dagoela eta alde egin bakean.
@BingenZupiria
Si alguien espera algún giro de guión respecto a la Ertzaintza por parte del Gobierno vasco que esperé sentado. Mataron a Cabacas, dispararon Foam contra Amaia y nada cambia.
