“We have always brought good footballers to Athletic and we always offer them the best”

Besides the Williamses, what other players does he represent?

At the company, both my partner Juan Oyaga and I can say with pride and humility that we have good footballers. Everyone knows which players we represent.

Do you, Félix Tainta, know that you do not have a good press in the Athletic environment?

What I can say in this regard is that we have always brought good footballers to Athletic and we always offer them the best. What I have seen and suffered is that people think of me and criticize me without knowing me, without knowing how I am or how I carry out my profession. But hey, since it’s something that escapes my hands, I don’t wear myself out on it.

That is many hours and many days of work, many months, many years, many trips, many hours away from home. The part that people don’t see and don’t know. I try to do my job well and defend my players to the death. I try to choose well and I’m wrong like everyone else.

Before being a representative, yes, he was a footballer …

And I had an agent, so I understand the feelings, concerns, joys and sorrows of the kids. In Osasuna I was in all categories since I was a kid. I did not debut with the first team, but I did train with them. With Goiko, Unzué, Ziganda, Arozarena … Bustingorri, Roberto Santamaría, Ibáñez were at the Promises then … Then I also played for Alavés, Nástic, Numancia, in addition to Tudelano, Izarra …
