Garcia Pimienta sends a powerful message to Marcao… and Victor Orta.
Unable to react from the bench to Imanol Alguacil’s approach and Real Sociedad’s play, Javi Garcia Pimienta After the match, he admitted that Sevilla was inferior to the San Sebastian team. The Catalan coach stood out despite all the work of his players, although at the same time he distilled a message of apparent humility in the face of being unable to reach an opponent who currently has the same points in the table.
“We had a good series, especially at home. We must be realistic. Real Sociedad came, a very good team with one of the best coaches. They were superior to us.” It seemed like we weren’t competing, but the guys showed their faces. Despite everything, without a good game we had very clear chances. it would get us into the game. A goal would change everything. We didn’t succeed and Real won fair,” he explained in his analysis of the match.
Thus, the Nervionense coach regretted the failures of Isaac Romero with the header and Iheanacho with the empty goal, already with the score 0:2 on the scoreboard, although he did not want to focus on his strikers, who still do not know what goal it is in La Liga, including Peque. “LThe forwards had very clear chances at goal. The problem is not that they have no choice, but that they are experiencing a streak of failure.. Isaac is passing away, I can’t tell him anything. We trust them. Kelechi enters the field at a difficult moment and is in a hurry when it comes to the finish line. We just need to keep working, trust them and give them confidence.”
Without a doubt, another proper name was Marcao, who took the penalty that marked the final score of 0-2 by wrapping his arm around Zubimendi’s neck, acting without any apparent danger. Garcia Pimienta also referred to this and did not question the referee’s decision. “He makes a mistake by putting his hand in there and it’s a penalty. I thought the rest of the game went pretty well.”but it is true that I conditioned him greatly. A player of his experience, the truth is that he should not make such a mistake.. Those who make mistakes are players. I feel very sorry for him because I know how he works and how dedicated he is to his work. I really screwed up in the locker roomBut hey, these are things that we certainly have to fix,” he stressed.
Idumbo, awaiting medical examinations
As for Idumbo’s injury, he, for his part, did not dare to give a prognosis. “What we know for sure about Stanis is that he is an adductor. He complained and left. He came out practically limping. Tomorrow there will be a test, and we will know exactly how far it is,” he explained simply.
What the Sevilla coach did was to send a new message to Victor Orta ahead of the January market. “These are the types of players we have. There are those who for some reason did not play, I am the one who decides, and therefore they also do not have that continuity in the game.” I will never make excuses for absences, but it is true that we have players who regularly play in absences.and they had cache. For example, Saul, Loïc Bade, Nyanzu… That’s what we have in the squad. Now we have these victims, and I will defend them to the end. It’s true that in The striker position needs to be strengthened because we need players there. I’m not going to make excuses, but I would like to have all 25 players available in every game, as well as the opponent. At the moment We are going through difficult times, but we have no choice but to continue working.“, he stated.
Message to the Valencian Community
On the other hand, the Barcelona coach, in these difficult moments, also wanted to send a signal to the Valencian Community: “There was a football match, but Lives are at stake, people are suffering. We are all for Valencia. We’re at our beck and call, we’re told we have to play. “Today’s football is secondary,” he said.
