There are no reactions yet. Be the first!

Manolo Jiménez began his speech to the media at Gran Canaria Stadium after beating CF Reus, congratulating David Garcia for the new performance "I want to congratulate David García, who has achieved what only great players like Germán Dévora have achieved." At the same time he stressed the fundamental role of the fans in the game: "They give us wings, because without them we are nothing".

Jiménez spoke about the complexity of the rival's game: "Reus is playing from behind and we've been running a lot to prevent the goalkeeper from organizing the game." "We made progress in the attack and I think the difference was there" , he added.

The coach wanted to highlight the importance of victory "the change of category is heavy in the emotional and human level and the game has created insecurity."

Regarding the presence of Rubén Castro in the team, and his excellent performance in the game, he said "Rubén is back home and shows the illusion of a child. It is the living image of commitment and sportiness that every child should notice. He is an example to follow. "

Despite the victory at home, Manolo Jiménez was critical: "We have much to improve, I see anxiety in the adjustment in the category of adaptation." "We have a long way to go, where we want and we have to be more demanding", he closed in the press room of the Gran Canaria Stadium.
