Álvaro Jiménez: “Paco Jémez gives you freedom and confidence”

UD Ibiza presented this Tuesday, in the press room of the Can Misses-Power Electronics stadium, Álvaro Jiménez, a player who has arrived on loan from Cádiz in the First Division. The footballer from Cordoba, who made his debut this Monday in the game against Zaragoza, said he was “very comfortable and very happy” at his new club. Being under Jémez’s orders is something that benefits him, acknowledged the new sky-blue winger. “Paco is a coach who gives you freedom and confidence. In players of my characteristics gives us life”, declared Jiménez, who warned that he is not yet ready: “I still lack a bit of rhythm,” said the player.

The footballer stated that he has had a “spectacular” reception by the squad to which he already belongs. What he is looking for is to “enjoy minutes” at Ibiza, in which an “exciting” season is being experienced. He pointed out that if they continue to play as they did in the second half against Zaragoza they will achieve great things, but without forgetting that “you have to keep your feet on the ground. The Second Division is very complicated. The only thing to do is not look at others, focus on yourself. If you start looking up you get complicated because they win and you put more pressure on yourself. If you look lower, they win and you put more pressure on yourself. playing like yesterday [por el lunes], without caring about any team, united and with desire, few teams can stand up to us, “he said.

He recognized that he has seen the stadium very changed, starting with “the grass”. “Its wonderful. They’ve put a couple more stands and it’s amazing. When I came as a visitor, the stands were very crowded”, added the player.
