The core of Athletic Bilbao's tactics lies in solid defense and effective counter-attack, and its tight backline can effectively contain the opponent's attack. This season, the team's main lineup has remained stable, and the overall strength of the team has been improved with targeted reinforcements. Many players in the team have excellent performance in both offense and defense, and can often turn the game around at critical moments.
