“I hope they whistle at us a lot and we end up winning like we did today.” | Relief
Borja Jimenez Adapting to this category took very little time. The young coach from Avila, who spent only three months in the First Division, already knows what every victory is worth when you lead the League. And therefore he also understands the importance of the victory achieved this Saturday against Sevilla. That’s why he let go a little mockery of his fans after he was whistled at 0-0 and sent Juan Cruz off the field.
The Argentine is Leganes’ best player (4 goals and 1 assist) and was replaced in a decision that few Butarque fans could understand. The best and most vertical footballer went to the bench. His coach explained this into microphones at a press conference after the match ended 1-0, something the team “knows very well.”
“This is not the first time they whistle at us and then we press the button. This happened to us last season on the day of the Sporting game against Cisse, and he ended up scoring a goal. Today he also played a good game, attacked, and we interpreted that the game was between the lines. We wanted to put Munir and Oscar cause harm. That’s why we removed Juan (Cruz), who also only had one training session this week,” the coach said.
“Juan is experiencing discomfort,” Borja Jimenez emphasized. “I understand people who are unaware of many things that happen during the week.. The public is always sovereign. I hope they whistle at us a lot and we end up winning like we did today,” Borja Jimenez said about what happened at the Cucumber Arena tonight.
In this sense, he emphasized the importance of knowing where the League comes from: “We can give the team very few ifs and buts in terms of numbers and results. We are safe at home. And if you look, the teams that beat We are at the top.” These are champion teams. Girona, Atletico… or Athletic and Mallorca there. We compete well. Now think about Madrid, then about Vitoria, a direct duel…”
In his analysis of the match, the blue and white coach admitted that it was “very even”. “It’s the little details that make all the difference. We are very happy, we won at home against an opponent who does a lot and very well.. The day against Valencia had already happened to us when we hit the post in the 93rd minute. Teams usually end the year the way they deserve. There are days that get away from you, sometimes you deserve it. The team is working well, which is positive. “We must not forget where we come from and how we compete.”
On Franquesa’s injury: “We’re doing something wrong”
When asked about the status Enric Franquesawho had to leave the field due to a knee injury, coach Pepinero is not at all optimistic. Moreover, he left a reflection along his path. “It was always in my head. We don’t know how this will end, it doesn’t make us feel good, my knee was a little unstable. We’ll have to wait, let’s hope it’s a shock. “You’ll have to be patient, I hope it’s nothing.”
“But we have to change the situation. Villarreal’s crusader was in Madrid today…we’re all doing something wrong. We are playing with people’s physical integrity.” You should think and stop. What is happening is not normal,” said Borja Jimenez, happy with Miguel de la Fuente’s goal, “it will be very good for him,” and also because Butarque applauded. Jesus Navas during his last visit.
“He exemplifies what it means to be a professional and the effort he makes to continue playing for the club he loves. We Spaniards have enjoyed his performance in the Sevilla national team for many years. He is an example of what a footballer should be.The ovation is deserved, I share it and wish him all the best,” he concluded.
