Wolves striker, Raul Jimenez will be back to his very best once he returns from injury, Nuno Espirito Santo has said. Nuno recently revealed that he expects the Mexican player to make the ST position his own again as soon as he recovers from his fractured skull.
According to him, Jimenez is a very loving person, and it is very disheartening to see him go through this very serious injury.
He added that Jimenez is irreplaceable at Wolves, because he is everything a coach wants in a striker.
His words, “The first moment was very tough, when you see that so close and with the silence in the stadium and you realise how serious the situation is,”
“Raul is a lovely person. To see someone that you love so much like that, and then you start questioning: ‘Is he going to be back as the same man?’ Is he going to be able to continue doing what he does so good and enjoys so much?”
“How you replace Raul?”
“He’s irreplaceable. If you want to play short with Raul you can play short. If you want to go with crossing you are comfortable with Raul. It’s been very difficult to find the right solution.
“I will not be fair if I ask Fabio to do the same things. When Raul was the age of Fabio, he was playing his first game. OK, Fabio cost a lot of money, sure, but we believe that he’s going to become a fantastic player. He has that ability to instinctively know where the ball is going to be.”
