With the two goals scored in the Romareda, two great goals from a top-level striker, Álvaro Giménez from Elche has already become the top scorer of the Ferrol team with ten goals scored, one more than the magician from Catoira, Iker Losada, who has nine targets. In addition, he scored two goals in the Copa del Rey tie against Marbella. Álvaro Giménez (Elche, 33 years old) came to Racing in search of an opportunity to relaunch his career. After a great campaign at Almería, in the 2018/19 season, top scorer in the Second Division with 20 goals, he tried his luck in English football, at Birmingham City, although with little luck. He returned to Spain to play for Cádiz and Mallorca, with little prominence, until in the 2021/2022 campaign he played for Zaragoza, a club with which he scored 5 goals and played 2,189 minutes. He returned to Cádiz in the First Division, in which he practically spent a blank season. He alone played 37 minutes.
He arrived at Racing in poor shape, although as soon as he was able to recover the best physical point he took over the starting position, relegating Sabin Merino to the substitute position. His season in the Ferrol team has been very good, since he not only contributed goals but also a great capacity for work. He has earned the renewal, although he will surely have no shortage of offers after his great campaign at the Ferrol club.
He opted for Racing and it has turned out well: «Football is like that, life is like that. It was destiny that brought me to Racing. I didn’t think about it when it came to signing for Racing and thank God everything has turned out very well,” says the forward.
The player also talks about the game against Zaragoza: «It was a shame, having the three points so close and being tied in one of the last plays of the match is tough. There is no choice but to continue, there are two games left and we have to try to win them,” he indicated.
Regarding Zaragoza’s second goal, he noted that: «They tried with the lateral centers, while we were tired of the effort made. In my loss in the center of the field, they were able to make a cross, they finished off with a header and the ball ended up in the net due to an inopportune slip by Ander Cantero. “It was a shame, since I think the team did an incredible job and that the team’s effort has been brutal.”
He assumed that the game was twisted from the start: «It’s complicated when you concede a goal three minutes into the game. Once again we had to row, although the team has known how to have the ball and play it. Especially in the second half we entered well on the wings and created chances, while Zaragoza was very uncomfortable and ran a lot after the ball. We scored two goals and we were able to achieve some more. When you go 1-2 and you can’t score the third, you always run the risk of being tied. They started to score balls and were lucky enough to score the goal,” he stressed.
Regarding his goals, he explained that: «In the first goal I saw the ball arrive and I decided to hit it with my instep to see if it would go in, since the goalkeeper was a little ahead. The second goal came from a counterattack and I came from behind since I had been defending the near post. Nico sees me very well, he passed it to me and I was able to hit him with my good leg. “It was a great goal.”
He has scored two goals against Zaragoza, one of his former teams: «I don’t choose when I want or can score a goal either. They came out today and it’s a shame for them, although I’m happy for Racing. In the end, what a striker wants is to score goals, wherever it may be.
Regarding the point achieved, he indicated that it is valid: «As long as there are mathematical options, it is valid. “We have to think about beating Leganés at home.”
