The definitive explosion of Francisco Crespo pejino It had a side effect on the yellow squad to change ownership of the right lane. The display of the Barbate winger in the chorreo derby against Tenerife consecrated 24 and left in a delicate position Alvaro Jimenezthat although he played the following day as a starter against Sporting de Gijón, that was the last time he was seen in the initial photo of the YOU.
In Molinón, with the absence of jonathan viera After the derby, when he suffered a fibrillar microtear in the soleus of his left leg that made him miss the rest of 2022, it was Jiménez who remained in the starting eleven, while Pejiño went to the left and miller He went on to play inside, where he likes.
That December 3 was the last match in which the Cordovan winger was named by García Pimeinta in the dugout before the initial whistle as part of the eleven men who would start the match. He endured on the Asturian lawn for 67 minutes and since then, straight to ostracism.
Seven games later, Jiménez only counts 47 more minutes on his service sheet with the yellow elastic. He has gone from being one of Pimienta’s fixtures at the start of the season, in which he even broke through with two goals, one against Málaga in the 0-4 draw and another against Mirandés when UD tied 3-3, benching
Precisely on the day of the Anduva debacle, he showed that he was in iron health, because if he had to be replaced at half-time due to some discomfort after he had to miss matchdays 4 and 5 -Alavés and Leganés-, the following week already was again available for Pimienta and added 73 minutes against Ibiza in the 0-0 seven palms.

Only in that match against Ibiza he already played more than he has done since the triumph at El Molinón. Seven games later, the presence of Álvaro Jiménez on the pitch is practically testimonial. Alvaro Lemos and Marvin passed him in the hierarchy of Pepper to deepen the right-handed path when the current owner, Pejiño, had to go to a bench to which the Cordovan has had to get used.
Only 25 minutes against Villarreal B, when UD played with one less man due to the expulsion fifteen minutes after the match by mfulu; and another 19 in the crazy game and the final between I want and I can’t against Racing Santander, are the days in which Álvaro felt that he had a relevant presence, since the other times he has jumped onto the pitch since on December 3 in Gijón, have been practically testimonial.
Against Albacete he only had two minutesnow desperate to try to equalize in the discount section and with the yellow team focused on Bernabé Barragán’s goal (1-2), in the last game that UD lost; while against Mirandés, two weeks ago, he had just one minute on the grass of Gran Canaria.
That was the last appearance of Álvaro dressed in shorts, because against Huesca in Siete Palmas last weekend, Garcia Pepper He did not value the option that he could play and remained on the bench watching how Marvin Park He was chosen by the yellow coach to rest an impotent Pejiño in the 64th minute.
Jiménez has before him the challenge of once again demonstrating Pimi that he has a more than drinkable alternative if he performs again like at the beginning of the season, where he was a dagger in attack and supportive in defensive tasks.
