Yacine Qasmi, Franco-Moroccan striker Leganes (31 years old), has begun to go to cruising speed in his set-up plan to which he has been subjected Mehdi Nafti and the rest of the coaching staff after signing for the Blue and Whites in the last winter market. Without competition rhythm and away from the matches of the Vallecano Ray, his former team, the soccer player arrived in the south of the capital with physical deficiencies typical of his situation. However, the desire of his coach has been to try to recover him at full speed with progressive and gradual presence in the team’s official matches, in addition to a specific training schedule that is already showing the fruits of it.
Last Thursday Qashmi He started (and played 70 minutes) in the friendly match that the pepineros played against DOGE International (First RFEF) on the Butarque Sports Facility taking advantage of the fact that his next League commitment will be on Monday and that there was a good handful of pepineros in need of minutes. Starting with the transfers. Own Qasmi, Dani Jiménez, Giraudon or Rober Ibáñez They need rhythm. This type of meeting serves to provide them.
Goal and good feelings
But in this game Qashmi It was news because he played from the start at the top together with Jon Baptist (it is unusual for Nafti formed with two reference forwards) and because he scored the 1-0 result of a showy shot that allowed him to make his debut, even if it was in a game behind closed doors (the club made it known only after it was played).
A duel that suited him well, as confirmed by the player himself in his close circle and that helped him adapt on the pitch to what he already experiences off the pitch. The footballer speaks wonders of a locker room in which he feels comfortable. As if he had a lifetime. Factor that Qasmi considers essential to give performance sooner rather than later. Good lack it does.
Competition at the top
Because the Leganes He has a scoring problem. Both in their own area (now straightened out after the thrashing in Burgos), as well as in the outside area, where his two usual strikers are not offering high figures. Both, the aforementioned Bautista (also wet before DOGE) and Borja Garces, add two goals each in the league. Bautista also doubled in Cup before the Leonese Cultural. So the presence of Qashmi and his possible scoring start injects competition, something that Nafti has always defended as a positive ingredient for any team in positions, even as goalkeeper.
In any case, and despite that good training match, logic says that Qashmi he will still have to wait for his opportunity to play as a starter. On Monday, before amorebietathe duel takes the dimension of a gigantic final and, seeing the good result of the last days, it is expected that there will be continuity of the most usual, a status that Qashmi he aspires to attack soon with physical improvement and goals.
