Few players have garnered as much attention and have been claimed by the Riazor with as much enthusiasm as Yeremay (Las Palmas, 2002). His sensational debut as a starter with Deportivo becomes the best visiting card for a player whom former teammates like Nico Clouston and Víctor Guerra, as well as coaches like Óscar Gilsanz and Javi Álvarez describe as having all the conditions to succeed.

«What is a boy from Abegondo going to think now? Whoever follows it, get it”
«I was watching his goal again and… I would have hit him first! Carrying the ball is not in my head, dribbling past the goalkeeper… and throwing Riazor down, “acknowledges Víctor Guerra, current player for Arteixo, who shared a dressing room with Yeremay in the youth team at Deportivo. «He did not surprise me, because whoever sees him on a day-to-day basis knows what he is capable of. When he was in the Third and youth teams, we all knew that, if he wanted, he would come back from the game. He is great for the good and the bad. What he did on Saturday as a starter… If he is trusted, he always responds. He did not need more than a moment to return it », he pointed out before emphasizing: « he has grown a lot. He knows that he is covered, and returns that confidence in just ten minutes!“, insists.

For the footballer, the canary’s cocktail of success is made up of talent and confidence in his qualities. «Everyone asked for more minutes for him, but the one who has arrived has been Rubén de la Barrera and, excuse me, with his balls he put two homegrown players like him and Trilli in the eleven, and, on top of that, he made Mella debut. What is a kid from Abegondo going to think after this game? Whoever follows it, get it. He gave Mella 20 minutes. We were not used to that. The day that more, Yeremay was 10 or 15, but The coach did not look at anyone’s ID», he points out, while predicting more games like this for his former teammate: «He will play again, and he will continue to give a show».

«Defensively, when he goes to steal or anticipate, he does it better than anyone else»
From his knowledge of the winger in the different functions he performed in the Deportivo youth academy, Javi Álvarez recognizes Yeremay’s personal maturation, but in football “he continues to have that natural talent, that self-confidence on the field, that perception of doing things different from the rest in a reduced space, like stopping and dribbling to score on an empty goal,” he says, while recalling the flag goal that the Canarian scored on Saturday at the Riazor. “I am not surprised that now, in large spaces, with a larger field and better footballers around him, he plays a game like the one he played on Saturday against Algeciras, because other times he had already gone out and they had given him a penalty, or He had scored a goal that had been decisive, “he points out.
How could it be otherwise, the coach sees a lot of room for improvement and growth in the winger, but insists that the defensive concepts for which he has also been praised this time are already part of his game today. «He is a boy who defensively, when he interprets that he is going to steal or anticipate, he does it better than any other. When he makes a tackle, or sees a passing lane… He never had that job, nor the need to make high defensive runs, but in situations of entering to steal, when he puts his foot in, since he uses his body so well, he is a great winner of duels. I insist, it is not his strong point, but if he is going to steal, he almost always takes it, “stresses the coach, who sees Yeremay not only as a left-handed winger, but also as an insider or attacking midfielder. “Now Soriano plays there, but if that position were free, it would be another alternative to take into account in the central lane, because he has a very clear last pass, and finds spaces that others cannot find,” he says.
Oscar Gilsanz
“He is very smart, and he identifies when people are willing to understand what is happening to him”
“What was seen of Yeremay in the game is what it is: a greater defensive responsibility, but, in attack, the same as always.” This is how Fabril’s coach, Óscar Gilsanz, describes the performance of the one he played under him in youth and the subsidiary. “The defensive aspect is the one that has been improving, and in the game it was at a very high level”, highlights a footballer who has gone through a period of maturity and knows what he needs, “and that he does it without losing what that he already has, is great news for everyone,” insists Gilsanz, who acknowledges having had many conversations with him. «He is a very smart boy, and he identifies when people help him and is willing to understand what is happening to him. In any process there are moments for him, but he has always tried to achieve that improvement. The decisions that have been made with him have been thinking about his progression. It is in him to persevere », he adds, before calling for calm so that he continues advancing step by step in his football.
As he insists, the ownership of Yeremay and Trilli, as well as the subsequent appearance of Mella, are not a flash in the pan: «In the quarry work, all the coaches that these players have had in their training are very important. Not only that of the youth and that of Fabril. I never tire of repeating that Abegondo’s work is very good. It will continue to be like that, and we will continue to see good footballers.”
Nico clouston
«There are two keywords in the jump that he has hit in these years: maturity and patience»
The Arteixo footballer was a teammate of Yeremay’s in the team that lifted the Youth Champions Cup and, he remembers with a laugh, when he had the worst time was game day in training. «If he wanted, he would give you a pipe, a caneo… It’s like the goal he scored: unpredictable and great. We defenders suffered a lot, because we didn’t know where it was going to come from.», he explains, before commenting that in the progress of the winger «there are two key words: maturity and patience. The issue of the personal trainer, the efforts he is making off the field… When I arrived, they saw him as a problematic child who had to be educated, but what happened to him is also normal, “says Clouston, before adding another crucial matter in the great moment of his ex-partner: the self-confidence.
«He is a player of those who no longer remain. Like Ronaldinho, Neymar… with magic. In such academic and tactical football, fewer and fewer creative players come out. But Yeremay is a loose verse », he adds.
