The coach of CD Leganés, Borja Jiménez,
attended a press conference this Saturday before facing Real Madrid.
Leganés welcomes Real to Butarque this Sunday at 6:30 p.m. The last meeting between the two teams ended in tragedy for the Pepineros, with a 2-2 draw resulting in their relegation. Four years later, the two teams meet again and, in the press conference before the match, Borja Jiménez praised Carlo Ancelotti.
Scoring against Madrid is complicated: “It's a difficult match, but I think we will have our chances. The Madrilenians are doing a lot of things well and it will be complicated. The message is the same: we have to try to attack Real Madrid. It is not enough to just defend. The message was very clear: we are playing at home and we have to be brave to get something, we have to score.
Admiration for Ancelotti: “I have nothing but words of admiration for Carlo. The values he has and the way he transmits them. He is a person that all coaches should be inspired by.”
Neyou and Cissé: “We haven't been able to do anything with them in recent weeks because they are with the national teams. Neyou has had three training sessions. Players can come in. From that point of view, we are calm.”
Those absent at Real: “There are several missing at right-back and Valverde can play in that position. We will try to find a player who can do damage on both sides depending on the defender. We have something in mind, but we don't We can't reveal it. We will look for weaknesses like in any other match.
Cristiano Ronaldo has never scored against Leganés, will it be the same for Mbappé? “Mbappé has just arrived in Spain. I hope Leganés can face him for many years. We would sign for him to score goals for us every season, that would mean we are kept in the first division.”
