Federico Lanzillota arrived in 2019 at La Cisterna days after Luis Jimenez he had gone off to play Arab soccer. For extra-football reasons, the ‘Magician’ decided to return to Chile and rejoined Palestinian the same year, where he was able to share in dressing rooms with the current goalkeeper of Argentinos Juniors.
In dialogues that the Argentine goalkeeper had with AS Chile acknowledged that it was a wonderful thing to be able to have him as a teammate, pointing out the great career he had had Jimenez in its trajectory. “I already knew ‘Lucho’ from his career playing for Inter, West Ham, and various other clubs. He always annoyed him by telling him that ‘I used to play with you on the PlayStation and now I have you as a partner’ and he told me ‘I’m not that big either‘and we laughed, “he also comments Lanzillota the jokes they had in dressing rooms.
This also referred to the good moment that the ‘Magician’ had during this last tournament. “He is a class player and it was noticed lately at the end of the tournament breaking it. In a position that is not usual for him, he ended up doing it in a very good way. I read that it will continue in Palestinian and that makes me very happy“.
With respect to the failed arrival of Jiménez to the U, the goalkeeper pointed out that it was a mistake of the club not to have specified the signing of the ’10’ of the Arabs. “I would tell you that they were wrong. I don’t know the background, but who can deny what kind of play Luis is. I do not know what is the reason why it did not arrive and I am not going to get into that either, but no one can deny Lucho’s kind of player, it’s a matter of looking at your resume, you don’t need to see him play any game now to hire him“, said the Argentine goalkeeper.
