Jorge Fernández is being one of the names in the latest Avilés matches. The man from Corvera, although he missed Sánchez Murias’ first match, has fit like a glove into the Gijon’s schemes and, whether as a midfielder, on the wing or even as a pivot, he is setting the pace for the blue and white team. His good level was rewarded last Sunday, when, in a rogue action, he opened the scoring against Covadonga.
“I think the team wasn’t so bad before, but we lacked strength in the areas. It was evident in Manolo’s first game,” says Jorge, who remembers the match against Rayo Cantabria, when the Avilesinos were defeated despite dominating the duel. “Now we have managed to keep a clean sheet, which is very important,” says the blue and white, which takes weight away from his role as a scorer. “It’s not something that worries me,” he says.
The first victory at home against Arandina was a click that Avilés needed. “That victory was a relief for the squad. We all saw how difficult it was for us to finish the game, despite winning 2-0,” explains the footballer, who has better memories of the duel against Covadonga. “We needed a victory or two to clear our heads mentally, to be as we should be,” says the midfielder, who now sees a different way within the blue and white locker room.
In the victory at Álvarez Rabanal Jorge took the field as a left winger. In the three games that he has played with his new coach, the Corveran has not yet repeated a position. Against Marino he started with 10 and, with the absence of Mecerreyes, against Arandina he was forced to play as a pivot. “Playing on the wing is not something strange for me. In the first years of my career I played there, whether on the left or right, but as the seasons went by they began to place me more in the center,” explains the blue and white. who in recent years has combined his role as a midfielder with that of an interior in a 4-3-3. “I feel comfortable in any attacking position,” he confesses.
In fact, his role as a winger does not vary much from when he plays as a midfielder. “When I play on the wing it is to get inside. I think it is something that the coaches look for, to have one more man on the inside and that the width is given by the sides,” says Jorge, since it is a dynamic that was also seen last year. past with defenses like Fontán or Nacho López. He now has the ideal partner in Iván Serrano.
On Sunday Suárez Puerta visits Compostela and from Avilés they only have one objective: to achieve the third consecutive victory. “We work for it and we are excited, but it is very difficult to do something like this,” reveals Jorge, who believes that achieving two in a row, in a category as close as the Second Federation, “is very complicated, but we come from so much need that we give less value of what it has.” “If we get three in a row it would be ending the year in a dynamic totally opposite to what we have experienced in recent months. We have the capacity to do it,” says the Corverano, who highlights the promotion that the club has made ahead of the match. “I don’t know if other places will do things like this. Let’s hope that people are encouraged and we close the year with a good game,” Jorge wishes. Whether in one position or another, watching Avilés’ latest matches, it is clear that the blue and white footballer will be decisive in bringing the ship to a successful conclusion.
