Whatever:
Words for his trainer in 2005/2006 season
"Pero empieza a jugar, no tiene nivel, y el equipo estaba en la cola. Le hubiese dado más partidos estando en la mitad de la tabla. Por tanto, tenemos que recurrir a Urzaiz y en diciembre fichamos a Aduriz porque Llorente no daba rendimiento",
meaning that Llorente hadn't level for first division in la Liga and they had to sign Aduriz and put Urzaiz in the pitch....
In any other team of the world he would have benn sent out of the squad, being sold and fogotten. But because of Athletic's transfers policy they decided pamper Llorente. There was no real alternative. Urzaiz was old and we only had Aduriz so... they pamper him until finally after
6 long years he became both: and spoiled brat and a dececent football player... He wouln't have those chances in any other club in the world.
