Cissé, a candy for the Cup

The Leganes today he travels to Jerez to play in Cup against Xerez DFC (Chapín, 8:45 pm) with several candies in their call. Seeing the less common of the first team is the main one. The Bustinza, Quintillà, Doukouré, Avilés or Naim will have an occasion to “raise your hand and say, ‘Mister, I’m here'”, as the own Mehdi Nafti, coach of the pepineros, said yesterday in the press room. But the duel will have more attractions. The one to see Seydouba Cisse back in action with the elderly is one of the fundamentals.

This 20-year-old Guinean youth squad is one of the four boys from the subsidiary that Nafti takes to play with the elders, along with Garrido-goalkeeper-, Rubio and Diego García. The normal thing is that he does not play from the beginning, but if the game goes well, he will have high chances of competing more minutes than he has been able to compete in the League so far, where he has already had two appearances. And in both it shone.

In view of Sporting, on El Molinón, (12 ‘) was one of the promoters of the midfield who invited the Leganes to dream of a draw (the duel ended 2-1). Before him Almeria, on The Mediterranean Games (16 ‘), also came out in the second half to help the siege of the Almeria goal without, again, too much luck. Leganés lost 1-0 in the last match of Asier Garitano on the bench.

A great goal to remember

The change in command of the pepineros has not been good for Cisse. Neither him, nor other homegrown players Leganés B. Where before Garitano used to pull boys from B (among other issues due to lack of confidence in first team players) to complete calls, Nafti He has opted to give continuity to all the men he has, which closes doors to the kids. The decision, paradoxically, comes fetén to a subsidiary that has begun to recover the tone in its premiere in second RFEF precisely with the return of the boys who Garitano used to call.

In one of these matches, the one played in Butarque last Sunday before him Union Adarve (The subsidiary is playing after the first team to take advantage of the homegrown players that they do not use Nafti), Cisse left one of the goals of the season. The kid scored a volley from the front of the area, from a corner kick, which delighted fans of highlights spectacular and, incidentally, confirmed the boy as a bet for the future.

With usual dynamics in the first team (he usually trains regularly with the elders), this cupbearer duel against the Xerez It can give you the opportunity to compete longer than usual and, incidentally, show off as you did in preseason, where in the absence of midfielders (the reinforcements in the core arrived late in the market), Garitano gave him opportunities. Cisse He responded by being one of the best of the summer. It is also in his hand to be an incipient winter in which he could establish himself as a reliable alternative to the core of the first team.
