I'm watching 1st Division Cadiz vs 4th tier team, Badalona Futur, into extra periods after a 0-0.

Unnamed Trialist Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Is his other option Morocco or Algeria? In any case, from a top second tier your not going to waltz in, but if you have continuity you're a strong prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Farsi who is eligible for Algeria. 5 minutes ago, MtlMario said: I also think I read that both declined but who knows but in that case I personally have no interest in them. Yeah I hear you. I don't get too excited about what they are doing. What's the point if they aren't going to play for Canada?

Unnamed Trialist Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 He didn't travel or dress after his 90 in the Copa, probably a knock. Leganés win 0-3 and are clear leader of 2nd Division and a promotion candidate. narduch, sebdeserio and johnyb 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Not dressed today either as they're away to Valladolid as we write. Again, as Leganés only took 20 to "Pucela", a short squad, it's likely he's not healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympique_de_Marseille Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Was injured last week https://www.cdleganes.com/noticias/nueva-cita-en-casa-para-seguir-sumando and is still injured and didn't play today. https://www.cdleganes.com/noticias/rp-borja-jimenez-previa-real-zaragoza-leganes-j18 I'm not sure what the nature of his injury is. narduch and Unnamed Trialist 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure either but since he got the start in the cup a month ago he hasn't appeared. Too bad as they have a cup match again this week and they could have used him again. Leganés are still leading 2nd Division despite losing 1-0 to Zaragoza this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 He was on the bench yesterday as Leganés tie Sporting Gijón away, at least he's healthy again. Leganés are still first in the league. I think he'll get minutes again because Franquesa, who he's behind, probably needs a rest and tends to get cards.

It just seems he's stuck firmly behind Franquesa, who I've seen described as the best LB in the league. Abzi needs to be playing, and it seems like he could have found a step up that would have offered him a better shot at minutes. I gather he's played quite well when given the chance Edited December 17, 2023 by Aird25 narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gather he's played quite well when given the chance I don't think anyone could predict Leganés would be doing so well, so that favours the core players and starters. Then he's been injured for a month, before that he was getting minutes, and likely would have in the Cup last week. I also see Lega often don't do their 5 changes. Spanish 2nd is exponentially harder than French, it's a huge step up he seems to be managing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen France 2nd, it is far below the 2nd division of any of the top four leagues. I'd say the spread from the top four to Ligue 1 is not as wide as when you go down a division. Everything I've seen from Leganés suggests they value him, they report on him when injured, he is referred to in press notes on the squad. They don't treat him like some kid doing a practicum.

Unnamed Trialist Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Out of curiosity, was looking at France 2nd tier, and I see Pau, Abzi's team, are in a promotion playoff spot. Which is surprising, they are quite tiny (I've been to Pau, small but nice town on the foot of the Pyrenees), but it does suggest that he just might return from loan from Leganés, promoted to top flight or not, and find himself on a team in French top flight.

Unnamed Trialist Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Did not get off the bench as Leganés drew Tenerife 1-1 at home. They are still leader, despite losing points, 2nd division Spain has the 12th place team only 9 points off the lead, very tight. I know it's odd I keep posting about him, but I feel that if he does start to get minutes, really breaks in, then his international perspectives will heighten.
