SEATTLE - People say that life works in mysterious ways but, when it comes to soccer, that feeling is multiplied by a thousand. Javier Aguirre, a seasoned veteran of the sidelines, will play against Basque team Athletic Club Bilbao to decide this season's Copa del Rey champion.
Aguirre is no stranger to these type of games. Almost two decades ago, he helped Osasuna reach the Copa del Rey final but lost the game in extra time to Real Betis. "I am more appeased than last time around," said Aguirre during a press conference before the final. "I think that I have more knowledge and experience on the game now, that makes me feel more relaxed," he added.
