Gerenabarrena is Athletic's midfielder with most La Liga minutes

Gerenabarrena has earned Terzic's trust and leads Athletic's midfielders in La Liga minutes this season.

Beñat Gerenabarrena has emerged as one of Athletic Bilbao's standout performers in the early stages of the season. The Basque midfielder has won the confidence of manager Terzic and is now the club's most-used midfielder in La Liga. "I'm very happy," Gerenabarrena said. "The team has helped me a lot and treated me very well. I'm also pleased with the staff, to be getting minutes and with how I'm performing."

Gerenabarrena has developed a strong understanding with Peio Canales in midfield, forming an established partnership at the heart of Athletic's play. "We can play anyone from the team, everyone is available and we understand each other very well," he explained.

"With Peio I've been playing for many years—that's the advantage of playing at Athletic. We've played together our whole lives and that helps us understand each other better."
