Athletic Club Coach Terzic: My Talisman Is a Magnet from My Daughter

Athletic Club coach Terzic revealed that he carries a magnet from his daughter with him during matches as a talisman.

Athletic Club brought smiles back to fans after defeating Atletico Madrid. Terzic said: "I am very happy and very satisfied. The match was very intense, with many great moments during the process, and this is a very good result. I like everything about the team, and the atmosphere at San Mames Stadium was incredible. The way we handled the match was excellent, and the team's performance was also very good after the hydration breaks and at halftime." The German coach gave the whole team an extra day off, and the squad will return to training on Tuesday.

Speaking about his feelings after the victory, Terzic said: "Winning is always a good thing, especially winning at home. I also want to thank the atmosphere created at San Mames Stadium. Tonight we will go to sleep with a sense of satisfaction, but these 6 points are only the beginning of the season. Now we have to prepare for the next match."

Speaking about Nico and Sancet, Terzic said: "We can talk about Nico, and we can also talk about Oihan, who has played in 4 different positions. He has the chance to become one of the best players in the league. I can also talk about one excellent save from Unai. I am very satisfied with the work of the entire team and the whole coaching staff."

Speaking about a team with multiple playing styles, Terzic said: "This is not my Athletic Club, it is our Athletic Club, and it is also the team that the fans want to see. We want the team to always be ready to fight and win matches. Different formations are something that is necessary in the world of football."

Speaking about changes in formation, Terzic said: "If you have good players available, it is not difficult. The 5 substitutions in every match also mean you must always be ready to adjust according to the game. This time, we also kept a clean sheet for the second consecutive match."

Speaking about pushing for a higher position, Terzic said: "The team is ready to fight. I cannot promise where we will ultimately finish, but the team deserves everything it has now."

Speaking about his talisman, Terzic said: "I always keep it in my pocket. It is a magnet from my daughter. I have two beautiful daughters, and I always carry it with me. It is not the reason we win matches, but it will always be with me."
