When more importance is given to the superficial than to the pulp, the situation often resembles the tree next to the stream: hard on the outside and seasonal, but starting to rot on the inside.

The cover of the skin. The new Bilbao left wall pilot has just been inaugurated in the Miribilla district. Black inside and out, elegant. Seating space for 3,000 people, adapted for people with reduced mobility, which will be heated and cooled by the trigeneration system. Ratchet next to it, very neat. An ideal place for the media to do their work. The biggest pilot in the Basque Country while the new capital of the Old Kingdom does not end. It took more than €24 million for the Basque Country to open its doors. There is also a selection of venues that will be joined by the Sports Federation of Bizkaia. If the final goal is to play professional matches and the biggest finals of the championships there, the new Miribilla Stadium has only one small “mistake”: there is almost no place to leave the car.

In recent years, we have often found that even with all the facilities, it is very difficult to bring the rider to the ball fields. So much in the championship games, but in the rest there are many pitchforks that often have a sad appearance, despite the fact that the players on the court are of a high level.

The basketball team Bizkaia Bilbao Basket also plays in Miribilla, where fans, often the whole family, meet to watch the matches from the last metro station, or even leaving the car of Miraflores to live, even if they have to walk for more than a quarter of an hour. The pilot, however, is different in age and character and I would be totally surprised to see, for example, those who meet in Deportivo or Astelena in this effort.

The mother... the mother. The dough is composed of those who wear white pants. There are still quite a few problems with running ball schools. Few of those who have had the ball as their profession have had enough time and, above all, patience to teach the craft to the young people who follow it. In small towns new pilots are born in the takean, but in larger towns there are no new shoots.

A few months after the debut of several well-earned players, they have been thrown into the streets in full form and play. Only those with an incredible future and the brightest stars take people to the peloton, and the pilots who are not in this ensemble are said not to be suitable. And so many other dark matters.

The Basque Country is made of black slate. If we do not start working to find a solution to the situation in which the ball lives, the future of our sport will be similar in color.
