Jimmy: “The next games will be decisive”

Oviedo enjoyed a win over Leganes that took them into the knockout stages, now in seventh place. But things don’t end there. A poor run at the start of the campaign, before Carrion’s arrival, means the Blues will have to work extra hard to break into the top six and are already looking ahead to next Sunday’s clash. This will be a match against Eldense, one of the sensations of the season. And Jimmy continues to make plans to continue winning. The youth player was again able to take advantage of an absence in midfield, in this case Luizmi (injured), to establish himself in the team. He is experiencing one of his best moments in the blue team and this morning he spoke to the media in the El Requexon press room.

Defeating leader Second. “It was a strong opponent, but the teams above are playing very well for us. To feel such a victory in these last minutes is wonderful. But you have to keep working because if you stick your chest out in this category, they will push it in.”

Derby distractions? “We will try not to let this happen to us, we must emphasize the importance of this match against Eldense on Sunday. I understand that these opportunities should be taken advantage of and I am very focused on Sunday’s game. I have to earn this position multiple times every year, it is what it is and I accept it.”

A day that may turn out to be favorable. “It is true that in the next round there will be a lot of matches between direct rivals and three points will mean the opportunity to take a position in the play-offs. Then it was time for the derby, but now all we can think about is Eldens. We have a good series, but we have our feet firmly on the ground. There will be very difficult games ahead, and the table may break.”

Next opponent in the league. “It’s dangerous. He already beat Espanyol the other day and is heading into this event very well, but we will do it too. We know that by doing well at home, surrounded by our people, we should get three points. These two, “Three or four games coming up now will be decisive for the season. We have to go to the table, show what we want and try to be top of the table.”

His performance on the team. “Yes, I am probably experiencing the best moment of my football career. Last year was not easy because I also had a shoulder injury and everything is adding up. Fatherhood is also very good for me now.”

Team level. “I would dare to say that this squad is the best I have played with in my entire sports career. There are amazing players in the midfield and I have to keep fighting every day to earn my place in the team. I also have to say that I am lucky to have players like Colombatto around me. It’s very easy to play next to him because with the ball he always gives solutions, and without the ball he fights like no one else.”
