As Txema Indias said, “life turns around” and life and his inscrutable paths have brought Fede Vico back to CD Leganés. after Vico was a cucumber player for a few hours in the summer of 2018. The 27-year-old footballer from Cordoba lands in Butarque after his time at Granada and signs for two seasons with the option of a third. During the presentation, Indias stated that “we knew him on a football and personal level and when the situation arose that we were looking for an attacking player who could contribute inside and out, we did not doubt it.” Fede Vico was very smiling and excited about the idea of wearing the cucumber shirt and I do not hesitate to say that the illusion and desire is “I hope Leganés will return where they deserve that First Division is” but “we already know that in Second we have to go little by little, with our feet on the ground and with humility.” For Vico “this project has grown a lot…. Leganés is a project that does not stop growing… The stadium is very beautiful ”.
For the Cordoba player, one of his main virtues is that “I can adapt to both bands… I am versatile and that always adds up. Work and ambition. In Second, if you don't run, you don't win games ”. Although Vico is clear about the position in which he feels most comfortable “behind the striker, as a midfielder. But the important thing is to play. I've even played as a left back ”. For Vico, what Leganés needs to move up is “work and humility. We are going to have bad moments and streaks of games without winning… At those moments you need unity, calm and trust in the one next to you ”.
Vico was very sincere in stating: “I'm here to play against Burgos, but not the 90 minutes. I've been training with my workgroup for two months, killing myself in the gym, but I don't have the rhythm of matches nor have I trained with people. I have done very little field work. I'm here for 20 or 30 minutes ”.
Fede Vico arrives at Leganés after playing a total of 25 games with Granada last season, 20 from La Liga Santander, 4 from Copa del Rey and one from Europa League, in which he scored three goals. Fede Vico is a versatile footballer, skilled in dribbling, with a remarkable associative football and great vision of the game. A reinforcement with experience in the Smartbank League and guarantees for the cucumber team. On his return to Butarque, Fede Vico will wear number 21.
