C.D Leganés’ manager Javier Aguirre attended the media this Wednesday in the pre-match press conference held at I.D Butarque before the 35th matchday of LaLiga that will be played this Thursday (19:30h) against S.D Eibar at Ipurua. The manager confirmed that Óscar and Carrillo will not be part of the squad list for the next match and is convinced about his team’s chances.
Aguirre beleives that Leganes still has chances of reaching survival and that they will continue fighting for it: “We still have chances and have to fight while they exist. We must perform a good match, Eibar is a strong team when paying at home, they have played several years with the same manager and with a playing style they know. We must be organized and take the chances we may have”.
The mexican manager affirms that the team have never stopped believing in the survival: “We haven’t stopped believing at any time, we are still alive despite of our limitations. There are four remaining finals and we believe in the survival”.
“We are missing our fans a lot when playing at home”
The pepineros’ coach also remembered the white and blues’ fans, who he believes the team have missed since the competition restarted: “We have missed our fans a lot on our home matches, they are great and always support us, these games have been more difficult without them”.
Finally, Aguirre confirmed that Óscar and Carrillo will not be part of the squad list, and the return of Roque Mesa: “Óscar is very committed and wants to play. He is part of our family but there is still a risk after reviewing his medical tests and if there is a risk we can’t have the green light to count with him. We may have him with us for the last three matches according to his evolution. Carrillo is sill injured and the rest is in shape”.
