I warned Hansi Flick about that particular player, he refused to bench him

Leganés coach Borja Giménez has explained the tactical brilliance behind his team’s remarkable victory over Barcelona. He attributed their success to a midfield strategy that effectively disrupted Barcelona’s attacking flow, limiting the space and opportunities for their key players, Dani Olmo and Raphinha, to make an impact.

Giménez detailed how his midfielders successfully neutralized Barcelona’s offensive threats, making it hard for the opposing team to find and exploit the runs of Olmo and Raphinha. This strategic approach allowed Leganés to keep Barcelona at bay and seize their own scoring chances.

Along with praising his team’s tactical organization, Giménez commended his young players for their courage and risk-taking. He highlighted that their fearless attitude was essential to their win, as they played confidently and capitalized on Barcelona’s mistakes.

The coach expressed pride in his team’s bold style, acknowledging that such an approach can sometimes lead to errors, but he sees it as vital for their growth and progress.

Giménez’s tactical insight, combined with his team’s daring performance, secured a significant victory over Barcelona, boosting Leganés’ morale and confidence for the rest of the La Liga season. Looking ahead, Giménez hopes his team can maintain their disciplined tactics and continue playing with the same boldness and confidence that led to their success against Barcelona.
