Borja Jiménez, the coach of Leganés, couldn’t hide his satisfaction with his team’s performance. He noted that while the overall display was impressive, the three points and the goal were the icing on the cake. “Our proposal was more to want to win,” he emphasized, highlighting the team’s desire for victory.
A Hard-Fought Win
The match was expected to be a closely contested affair, and it lived up to that billing. Jiménez observed, “We had to play with the emotional aspect, and we’ve had the capacity to defend, which was one of the bases to win.” As the game wore on, Leganés began to create more scoring opportunities, ultimately emerging victorious in the end.
Key Contributions
Jiménez singled out the impact of certain players, stating, “Diego’s entrance has given us a boost. Juan and Óscar have also helped us.” He was particularly impressed with Juan, saying, “I’ve always insisted that his place in the field is similar to Raba’s, and he’s been doing very well.” This was evident in their performances in games like the one against Valencia, where both players started.
A Fair Result?
When asked about the result, Jiménez disagreed with the notion that it was unfair, saying, “Our proposal was more to want to win, and based on the opportunities we created, we are fair victors.” This sentiment reflects the team’s determination to come out on top.
Areas for Improvement
Despite the win, Jiménez acknowledged that there were areas where the team could improve. “The game is complete in terms of team sensations,” he said. “However, I would have liked to have seen more continuity. We lacked patience, and that’s something we need to work on to build more confidence.” By addressing these aspects, Leganés can continue to grow and develop as a team.
