Leganés does not know what to be when he grows up

live the Leganes in an almost philosophical dichotomy. The cucumber trees debate andbetween its being and should be. And as if it were a combat of driving forces, one (the must be) pulls the other (the being) until shaking the team in a limbo of vital uncertainty that does not know if fight for permanence The aim for the playoffs of ascent.

Desires and realities are mixed in a distorted and imprecise discourse, without consensus taking over every institution. While some talk about thinking about day to day with no other goal than grow and grow (Nafti or Bustinza, for example), others dare to point out higher dimensions and they openly insist that Leganés must look for the upper zone of the classification (Borja Garces or Rober Ibanez). A contrast of opinions that invites confusion when the ball rolls on the green.

“The goal is to reach the playoffs”

“The goal is to reach the playoffs, as we said at the beginning of the season. Leganés is a playoff team. The fans deserve it. We also“, recently commented Borja Garces in an interview with the channel LaLiga official. The statements have drawn attention for being direct, ambitious and also contrary to the (supposed) official discourse of not throwing bells on the fly and thinking only of avoiding scares.

“by template we are of the best of Second. But it didn’t start well… there’s time to come back”, commented Robert Ibanez in his presentation to the club channels perpetuating (although without being so explicit) the speech of Garces. One and the other are good proof that part of the dressing room considers that the team should aspire to more.

anti anxiety speech

The issue is not trivial. If he Leganes aspires, as his technician says, to grow without going beyond that day to day, the interpretation that is drawn from certain results will be attenuated by the sieve of a reality (the qualifying) that put survival first to the capital aspiration. It happens, however, that if the true objective of the Leganes is to look for playoffs in a historic turnaround for the second round (or so it is shared behind closed doors), the anxiety for don’t take leaps and bounds (victories) that bring the goal closer can hamper the day-to-day and, paradoxically, force the team to think only of permanence… or even complicate it.

Yes it happened the course of relegation to Second. At that start of the season Leganes soon he rode on the back of the anxiety for thinking that in those first games it was only worth winning. I know despised the draw and the consequence was an initial state of panic unbecoming of a team with the entire League ahead. The whiting that bites its tail.

That panorama of vagueness also splashes decisions like the winter market. Now Leganés intends to make an important change to the squad precisely because the initial objective of the course (to fight among the best, which I would say Garitano) has faded. touch recompose rows to seek growth that allows the miracle to work or, at least, try to guarantee continuity in the Second Division that continues to be threatened, no matter how much for some mouths even mentioning it is a taboo subject south of the capital.
