🎙️ Sancet: We'll fight for La Liga and everything else | OneFootball

After a year marked by injuries, Oihan Sancet is shining again at Athletic. The attacking midfielder made his comeback with a goal against Rayo Vallecano, winning a penalty and scoring the decisive goal, and later started for Spain at La Cartuja.

Now, he opens up about his current form in an interview with Mundo Deportivo.

The injury he suffered against Liverpool still lingers in his memory. “It gave me quite a scare. That night was really tough for me, I kept thinking about what I had and whether it would be serious or not,” Sancet admitted, recalling the ghosts that haunted him during his recovery.

Now, in top form, he is aware of the importance of taking care of himself to avoid relapses: “I had ankle sprains and I think everything is connected. You injure your ankle, your stride changes, and you suffer muscularly. I have to do as much prevention as possible to avoid getting injured.”

Ambitious goals

"We have great players, and that’s been clear these past years. So, we’ll try to win as many games as possible and fight for La Liga and for everything," he concludes.

Despite the physical setbacks, Sancet finished last season as Athletic’s top scorer with 17 goals. This year, without setting limits, he aims to maintain his prominence and be a decisive piece in a red-and-white team that starts the season full of hope.
