García Pimienta: “Lukebakio has to be one of the best in LaLiga in his position”

Last Friday night, Sevilla achieved an important victory in Barcelona against Espanyol with a favorable result of 0-2, the first victory away from home and with great reasons to think positively about the team. And all eyes were on the same protagonist. Dodi Lukebakio became the big star of the night on his own merits, as the Belgium international was the author of the two goals that knocked down the parakeet team.

His coach, García Pimienta, wanted to record this and greatly highlighted the relevance of his attacker’s game, whom he called one of the best in his position. Although it is true that all the lines worked well on a general level, it was with Lukebakio with whom the Catalan wanted to expand more than necessary to expose the best virtues of the man who is now Nervion’s top scorer, with five goals.

«Lukebakio is a top-level player. I’ve been talking to him for a while and I tell him that he has to be one of the best in the League in his position. It has conditions and we must demand the maximum from it. His performance has been very high,” García Pimienta reflected afterwards, revealing in turn the conversations he has been having with a footballer who has enough quality to make a difference compared to other teams.

The white and red coach also had words to value this new sporting stability that continues to be fought every day. Hence he emphasized his contractual extension: «I have the feeling that we are in a process of laying solid foundations. Building and growing. I’m sorry. When the club offers me a renewal it makes me happy because I am working the way I want. It is not the Seville of other years. The renovation has given stability to everyone. The results will rule and being here for three years would be a gift.
