Ernesto Valverde's team talks must be pretty easy in Bilbao: If you get two inches to yourself, shoot.
Well, that philosophy stood to Mikel San Jose last night anyway when the Spanish midfielder led the way in the Super Cup with a sublime 900-yard strike (approximately).
Bilbao tore the Spanish league, cup and European champions a new backside as they ran up a 4-0 win in the first leg and, right from San Jose's phenomenal 13th minute strike, it was clear that this was going to be a good night.
The ball is headed out by the 'keeper who comes way off his line and, with one touch and one ridiculous strike, the Bilbao man drills a half volley that just torpedoed to the net.
Right, Victor Valdes isn't doing anything at United.
