The coach of C.D. Leganés, Borja Jiménez, appeared this Wednesday at the press conference prior to the match that the team will play on Thursday (19:00) against Girona F.C. at the Estadio Municipal Butarque, corresponding to the thirty-third round of LALIGA EA SPORTS.
The coach confirmed the absence of Nastasic due to discomfort, and assured that Juan Cruz will be available “if there are no problems”. “The other day we didn't want to risk it, but he is in good condition,” he explained.
About the game, he was clear: “We face it knowing what is at stake. It is possibly the most important game so far, and we play it at home, with our people. We are convinced that we can make it three points”.
The coach valued the team's good work during the week, and their confidence ahead of the match: “I'm reassured by the way the boys have trained. I can see it in their eyes. The other day we kept a clean sheet, we mustn't forget that, and in five of our six victories it has been like that. It's a key factor “.
He also highlighted the team's competitivity: “We are competing to the maximum and we will continue to do so until the end. Every time we put on this shirt it is to defend the shield as it deserves”.
Finally, he wanted to highlight the contribution of the young players: “Yan is fresh air, boldness. We are going to need everyone. The objective is clear: permanence, and we are all focused on that”.
