There were two responses in which Xavi García Pimienta He lowered his tone somewhat. First of all, to flatly deny any contact with the Girona, a club to which he was linked this week as long as Míchel did not continue on the bench of the current second-place team. “Quique Cárcel and Juan Carlos Moreno have been friends of mine since childhood. I was a teammate with Juan Carlos Moreno since I was 11 years old when we both entered the youth ranks of Barcelona together, with Quique already in the youth team. We are friends and in no case do I have a relationship of that type with them“commented the UD coach when questioned about his relationship with the sports director (Cárcel) and with the head of scouting of the Catalan entity, and in case he had received interest from any of them in hiring him. Finally, the yellow strategist also softened his voice to refer to the return of Jonathan Viera with the Almeria: “He is a player who has been here for a long time, who has made history and I am sure that when he comes in a month or a month and a half he will be very well received”. Otherwise, the same as always.
In between the permanent memory that the objective of the UD is permanence, something that he has practically had in his hand for weeks, and the inconsistency in his speech when considering that Valencia, Las Palmas’ next rival, does have the possibility of aspiring to European positions and his team does not when only three points separate them and they are face in a few hours, the yellow coach completely denied that Girona had let him know of their interest in hiring him if they lost the League’s revelation coach and had good words for the former captain, presented on Thursday with the bottom player and with whom he had a problem serious that ended with the player’s departure last December. Hairs to the sea.
Of the Valencia by Rubén Barajaseventh in the table with 35 points, commented: “I love it because it has that mix between youth and experience, with financial problems it seems to be, but it has made up for it with players from the quarry who are giving a brutal performance and who feel the colors (…) I’m not going to say it’s a surprise because they are quality players even though they are very young, but They have been working in silence until they occupy a very good position, and continuing in this line “They are going to try to fight for European positions, I have no doubt.”
Incongruity
Questioned then by whether The Palms, who if he wins ties him in the classification, he could then opt for the same, the UD coach thought the opposite. “I do not think so. I think that if we win on Saturday we will have 35 points, we will be a little closer to the objective, which is none other than mathematical salvation and we do not know if it is 35, 43… we do not know. I think something has made us great, which is going game by game and the players are aware that the important game is Valencia,” he said before reiterating later: “By history, by club, by potential, among them they were determined to be up there. I have no doubt that they are going to fight to get into the top positions.” The demand for a speech in the midst of incongruity, which does not hide the great season of the yellows, who will have reached the goal shortly and with that would be enough.
García Pimienta assures that he has not made any estimation of points to achieve salvation because “each season is different”. “There are times when salvation is cheaper and other times more expensive. There are 15 games left and everyone is pushing in the second round. We must go step by step as we have done so far, aware of all the good that the team has done “he added in the same sense.
“What works is not touched and there can be variants, both,” comments the yellow coach about possible changes in the eleven
The yellow coach recovers for the appointment against the team that Javi Muñoz already Julian Araujoy Saúl Coco, a substitute in Granada because he had just arrived from the Africa Cup, but a starter until the beginning of the continental tournament, has already completed a week of work along with the rest, so he would be another starter with options to return to the eleven. “What works is not touched and there can be variants, both. When things are going well you have to play a little, but we have always said that taking into account that everyone trains well and that everyone is prepared, sometimes you have the feeling that one has trained a little better during the week or the rival has a specific player profile that makes you think of one profile or another to do them more damage,” commented the coach, who added as a recipe in this sense the fact of “trying to be fair.”
Demanding match
“It’s going to be a more than demanding match. It is a supportive team that works very well, but has quality and knows how to counterattack without any problem. It is a very important game for us because of what it represents, because if we win we will catch up to them. Competing against these rivals makes us very strong,” he noted about the match.
Furthermore, he had words to Sandro: “I see it perfect. When you know a player you know what he can contribute to you (…) Let no one feel the obligation to be the team’s scorer because of the position he occupies. I’m sure that between now and the end of the season he will score goals.”
