Statements from Nacho Méndez, a footballer for Real Sporting de Gijón, in a press conference held at the Escuela de Fútbol de Mareo after the red and white team’s training session: “The manager is very close to all of us and communicates very well day-to-day, which is greatly appreciated. He did so from the first minute he arrived, even when I was injured; we chatted then, and he has given me a lot of confidence and helped me improve to improve things I could do better. Also, I realised that I had to take on other roles I hadn’t had before. I am very grateful for all the help he has given me, and I can’t say anything else. The fact that I have been able to perform at this level is also largely thanks to him.” In February, in an interview with Radio Marca, Nacho Méndez highlighted Ramírez’s adaptation to Sporting: “He has settled in well in a challenging place like Gijón. We play instinctively.”
