Well, President, good morning.

Uh, I wanted to ask you about two things. First, uh, what did you think of

the whistling at San Mamés toward Football Club Barcelona in the last league match?

And the second, uh,

well, uh, to see what you thought also about the the opinions,

well, Masip’s opinion... ...

that included you in the matter of you not congratulating Laporta in the last match

for winning the league. Thank you.

Uh, well, this question scares me because of...

... because of everything it usually implies every time Real Madrid

and Football Club Barcelona are talked about. Uh, but well, in parts.

The the first thing.

Uh, I think that from the institution, from Athletic,

there is the utmost respect, and from me personally as well...

the utmost respect towards towards Fútbol Club Barcelona as an

Y eso es algo que que tiene que quedar claro.

Eh, respecto a cómo actuó nuestra afición en el último partido, eh, creo que...

logically people are free to to do whatever whatever they want within some,

Yo creo que lo que se vio aquí, eh,

I think that in in Masip’s audio there was talk of animosity... ...

I think it is rather, uh,

a certain weariness or

fed- up feeling or boredom towards certain things that... ... that we get

information about, uh, they seem strange, but then, well, uh...

... nothing happens, right? So people...... what they want, I think, is clarity.

... nothing happens, right? So people...... what they want, I think, is clarity.

Uh, we have heard talk about issues of of payments to to Negreira...

... to a referee who was still active,

involved in the establishment in the refereeing establishment, which are proven,

because that is known, they have existed…

… but then we do not know how it is,

or the fans do not know how it is, how that issue stands.

What happened? Will there be consequences? Is it real, is it not real?

Will there be consequences?

Then on the other hand we talk about, well,

pues las últimas temporadas, las palancas...

it turns out that in the winter market the Federation and the League say

they do not give permission for certain registrations… …

and a political body steps in and authorizes it. And you say,

a las que no estamos acostumbrados, y la afición no no está acostumbrada tampoco.

And I think that on top of that you add, well, that under these conditions, uh,

the one who maybe at that time was the best player… … on the roster,

at least the most valuable at that moment,

because talking about better or worse is a pretty subjective topic… uh,

which is Iñigo Martínez, and he leaves for free, and last summer,

apparently, there are all kinds of rumors… … constantly in the press,

...en la prensa continuamente, pero que tampoco son desmentidos por nadie,

newspapers that put your player wearing the jersey… …

wearing the jersey of a rival constantly in the press, and in the end that ends

wearing the jersey of a rival constantly in the press, and in the end that ends

up tiring people out. And I think that what,

well, the reflection of that or the consequence of that

is what was seen at San Mamés.

But I think this is something that happens in every stadium.

Sometimes they receive us calling us…

Uh, in other places they say stuff to you.

Uh, in other places they say stuff to you.

Here I have also heard people say stuff… …

I also do not want to point at other fanbases and not and not be self- critical.

I think these are things uh

generally isolated in all the clubs… from the fans,

outbursts that happen because of certain circumstances, and in the case of our own

fans I understand that…

… that it responds to what I to what I have told you, but I wanted to stress again…

… the utmost respect that there is from Athletic toward the institution of

… the utmost respect that there is from Athletic toward the institution of

Barcelona and…
