The Brazilian power-forward, signed to cover Juanpi’s loss, wants to “fight to win things” in the Melon team
The Jimbee Cartagena adds more equipment and goals on the pitch with the signing of Raúl Rocha until 2024. This Brazilian powerhouse comes to replace the loss of the injured Juanpi and plans to “fight to win things” in the melon team, said he in his presentation at the headquarters of the sponsor Virgen de la Caridad Medical Center. His signing is also a breath of fresh air for the coach, Duda, due to the high number of absences that hit the team this summer. The official season starts this Friday (Palacio de Deportes, 9 p.m.) against Betis.
“This is a team that always fights for great things,” said the Brazilian. His signing to the club, he claimed, was closed “in a day or two” and was practically on the brink of closing the market. He had a valid contract with Xota, but Jimbee had to be reinforced yes or yes and pay a wire transfer for Rocha which sources consulted by this newspaper put at just under €50,000.
Last season, Rocha was the third top scorer of the Navarra team with 8 goals in 28 games. “I am a versatile player who can play in all positions. That’s why they signed me,” said the Brazilian. The director of the Virgen de la Caridad, José María Ferrer, ironically remarked: “Make a lot of goals and don’t get injured.”
Since last season, the melon box has suffered a lot from injuries. Finally, the starting goalkeeper Chemi fell. The Jimbee expected a groin tear, but in the end the ailment is minor: it’s a micro-tear and the sick leave period is a month. Likewise, the board maintains its idea and this Tuesday it is still being considered whether it is worth recruiting another keeper until the end of 2022. Raúl Jerez is the only one available under the sticks and there is no substitute (and a youth) in case of injury or eviction.
The season starts next Friday. But the competition will face disruptions in the coming month. So by the time Chemi has recovered, only three or four days have been played. Whether or not that risk is taken will be discussed by the melon club on Tuesday.
