“I want the calendar to be more homogeneous”

Borja Jimenez, coach of Leganessaid he wants the league’s calendar to be “more homogeneous“and home and away games alternated, without causing imbalances in the balance in certain sections of the season.

“If they had given me the choice of the standard playing format and the next day at home, it would have been better because the competitions are equal and all are equal. There are teams that only have three at home and five away, and there are the opposite. I want the calendar to be more homogeneous. But this is what we have and this is what I always say; The calendar is made like this and you have to adapt, try to make the most of it,” he said.

Also, he admitted that he wants to play only on weekends: “Maybe because I like it, but now It is impossible to load games for all teams. There are teams that play as many as four or five competitions. It is impossible to have only weekend games, we have to extend the years, not everything can be played in one season. “Now this cannot be done, this is the current situation and we must live with it and normalize it.”

His team is now measured in Rayo Vallecano at home: “With the rivals we can understand in our league, or in the middle of the table or at the bottom, it has more importance. In four outings the team has scored in three; it is not easy at All. Now is we have one more, We’ll be playing the fifth game out of eight played.”

“We are playing away from home and the team competes well, that gives us security. It is the second derby in a row and we have hope to do well against a team that made Atlético and Barcelona difficult, ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Vallecas has that point that makes it different, the team always gets a lot of points at home,” he added.

The rivalry is ‘marked on the calendar’: “It is one, like leaving Getafe, Valladolid, or Pamplona… We see that the league is leaving too quickly, among the top three or four and the rest will become an abyss very quickly. “We face a strong team at home but we have hope and belief that we can get the three points tomorrow.”

In relation to the club’s rejection of 143 tickets offered by Ray for his fans after the request for more tickets was rejected due to the structural limitations of the stadium, declared: “It’s always a different game that the fans can’t get. It hurts us. I don’t know the reasons why the club made the decision and if I did this is not the place to discuss it.”

“I feel sad personally because we came from a trip with many people, very close. I think the rivalry is healthy, with games that move the fans. I don’t know the reasons; “That’s what we have and what saddens me is that they can’t be with and enjoy their team,” he added.

Jiménez believes that there is no anxiety about having only one victory so far: “We are seven weeks and we have finished zero on descent; That says the team is doing things the way they should. We want to win more than anything, but there is no anxiety. “We know the season we are facing, who we are, the limitations of other rivals… we normalize them and try to minimize them.”

“The most difficult thing for everyone is to change the chip at the beginning of the season. Last year we won a lot and this year it is normal for us to lose a lot. We are calm knowing that we have to continue producing good results and there are matches marked on the calendar that are important where you must not lose and you must win. Do the things that we understand are logical for Leganés,” he said.

Also, he implied that Yvan Neyou and Naim Garcia They’re still injured and have “another player with discomfort” who won’t be able to play. On the other hand, Javi Hernández is available again. Regarding the goal, he did not want to reveal who will be the starter, Marko Dmitrovic or Juan Soriano.

On the other hand, he examined the lacking in punch: “A lot of times luck has a bit of an influence on these actions. What worries us the most as coaches is not being able to create that volume and in the last two games we created situations to score a goal. The issue will not be of any chance. The team has improved in that aspect in the last two weeks, and the important thing is to have weeks where you can train, work more than people already.
