Luis de la Fuente names one current player in Athletic all-time XI | OneFootball

Luis de la Fuente has named his all-time Athletic XI, selecting only one current squad member, Yuri Berchiche, and opting for a four-three-three.

"El Txopo Iribar," he began for the goalkeeper. He said this on the club’s official channel.

"In defence, Iñaki Saéz at right-back, Jesús Garay and Andoni Goiko at centre-back, and Yuri Berchiche at left-back." "Someone will be left out, I am very sorry," he added.

"You are going to be amazed," he said of midfield. "Miguel de Andrés in the middle with Fidel Uriarte and Julen Guerrero." "He started as a sweeper and finished as a holding midfielder, that is invaluable today, he did not get all the recognition he deserved."

"On the left wing, my idol Txetxu Rojo," he said. "It is a shame that I cannot pick Piru Gainza, he was another genius of football, but I am an unconditional fan of Txetxu." "Up front, Telmo Zarra, and on the right, Dani."
