Duda considers the market closed with the signings of Waltinho and Juanan but is confident to take another step forward to play “finals and semi-finals”
That the Jimbee Cartagena project is taking a step up this 2022/23 season is the challenge that coach Duda posed yesterday. Last year the melon team was one minute away from playing in the Copa del Rey ‘final four’, one penalty away from dodging Barcelona in the Spanish Cup, 3 points away from second place in the regular season and 18 seconds away. from through to the semi-finals of the ‘playoff’ for the national title. Matching that or aiming for the “semi-finals or finals” this year is the goal of a Jimbee who doesn’t give up on dreaming big.
“We have enough staff to do the same or better than in previous seasons,” said Duda, at least aware that there are “less expectations” this time around as Jimbe has reported more casualties than highs in the market. Andresito, Solano, Drasler, Marinovic, Peru and Saiotti have already left; and the pivotal figures Juanan and Waltinho have arrived to maintain the high goalscoring figures of previous years.
The academy players Amín and Pablo Gallego, new first-team signings after breaking ties with Zambú Pinatar, are also reinforcements. Duda counts as new troops two long-term injuries from last season, such as Meira and Juanpi, ready to undergo medical examinations today. Javivi still has “a month and a little” to join the group. Jimbee closes the squad with fourteen players, although it is likely that some reinforcements will come to the winter market.
“We keep the attitude, the project, the base, the illusion… We have to make sure that the goalscorers who have arrived contribute so that the team plays what we want to play, namely the semi-finals and the finals of the competitions”, said Duda. . The club exceeds the number of a thousand subscribers when the training sessions, scheduled for Monday 8 have not even started, the team will play its home games on Friday, at 9 o’clock in the evening, as long as the television platforms allow it. On the 19th and 20th, there are two confirmed friendlies against Manzanares and Valdepeñas respectively.
Jimbee Cartagena’s budget will be lower this season than last season, manager Roberto Sánchez confirmed to THE TRUTH yesterday. The manager has yet to finalize the accounts, but confirmed that last year’s figures, which were close to two million euros, will now be lower. The JimboFresh company will support a large part of the budget, from which some sponsors have fallen. The challenge for management is to absorb more external help. Yesterday the club presented restaurant Lage Ceilings as a sponsor.
