Some time ago that Manolo Jiménez does not have all of them with it in Nervion. The Arahal technician is completing extraordinary numbers at the head of the Seville, in whose stool takes almost three years, but this fact has not been sufficient to convince to the love. A wide sector of Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán has never trusted in him, and although Of The Nest it went so far as to define him as ‘Spanish Wenger’, not even the third position reached in the League the past campaign served to clear the doubts concerning his continuity. Logically, the figures of the team drove to his renewal with the entity for one more period. Now, with the fourth team in the Championship and classified by the final of the Cup of the King, Jiménez is still questioned.

The technician knows well what the situation is; without going further, this week has been declared by his conviction about which many would be glad with his march. And this way it is, many sevillistas do not conceal his dissatisfaction with the trainer. Some of them accuse him of defense, others of conservative, and few ones are those who do not criticize the game of the team. In this time, many players have shown his support to the trainer, sign with which the ambience is loaded against him, but nothing obtains to banish the negative opinions that exist concerning the arahalense. And the fact is that it seems that the Jiménez work is of keeping silent about mouths; although, he makes sure, it neither is spiteful he does not even look for successes to close obstinacy. This is not a new situation, but yes disconcerting.

The shield cannot question that Jiménez, after fourteen years defending like player the T-shirt of the Seville, does not sit the colors not. In fact, it is something that nobody will doubt. The results do not also grant too much space for the suspicion, since after the march of Juande Ramos the club continues in this line that supports him between the big ones of the moment in the country and fully of life up to the ceilings in the Champions League of Europe. Perhaps the Frenchman Escudé, queriendo or not, has met on the key on having recommended to the fans to look six years behind so that they realize what now they have.

In Nervion they live through an epoch of soccer splendor, parking the mishaps — and the misfortune of our dear Antonio Puerta — but the situation is not comfortable. And it it is not because to obtain so much successes in a little time creates a species of aura of permanent dissatisfaction. The demand is maximum, but for hache or for be the Seville does not give this jump that allows him to fight for the title of League, which is really what the sevillistas claim. Nevertheless, who are erected in judges of the ‘case Jiménez’ should analyze the sports context, since the team has not been characterized for realizing a spectacular soccer, but for proving to be solid in defense and in the midfield, for making use of the bands and having mordant in attack. Capacities all of them so valid that many aspire to acquire them without luck.

Good players have formed a big staff, and it costs that one is dazzled for not keeping on growing of intensive form, but hence to condemn his technician, there should be a world that in this case does not exist. If Jiménez does not turn into ‘Spanish Wenger’ it is for this luck that it determines our nervous vision of the situations. The Seville is in good hands, but many people want that it plays over his possibilities, without considering that of mishaps and falls that the team has suffered during this period. And even being the envy of many clubs at present, it can allow to escape from a humble, hard-working technician and who loves to the entity to satisfy the delirious aspirations of those that make pass for unconformists and that, for it, happen over the reason. Of the Nest, which seems and is brave, sure that will be able to choose the best thing for the Seville — to support Jiménez — and this way then it will not be necessary to lack him.
