San Mamés builds as Athletic host Atlético, Terzic expects intense contest | OneFootball

San Mamés is filling up before kick-off as Athletic host Atlético Madrid in LaLiga matchday 4 at 16:15, live on Movistar LaLiga. According to El Correo, both teams are already out warming up.

Home players were applauded on emerging, the visitors were loudly whistled, and the noise is building from the stands.

Athletic head coach Edin Terzic said he feels excited by a meeting of two strong sides and that his team want to be the better side to win. He expects an intense contest with many duels and says his players must be ready. He also stressed the need to show their attacking ideas to test Atlético’s defence.

On Nico Williams, Terzic said the forward is ready today and will show how important he can be for them.

Atlético arrive unbeaten, sitting fourth on 7 points after wins over Málaga and Sevilla and a draw with Villarreal.

Despite the allure, the stadium is not expected to sell out, with tickets still available, likely due to the awkward kick-off time.
