Gignac, el tigre de la UANL

Gignac, el tigre de la UANL

Hubo que esperar a un 7 de febrero de 2021 para que un equipo de la Concacaf dispute por primera vez en la historia una final de Mundial de Clubes (desde el cambio de formato de 2005). Los Tigres de la UANL vencieron por 0-1 al Palmeiras, el campeón de la Copa Libertadores. Un gol de penalti del francés Gignac dio el meritorio pase a la última ronda, que la juegan esta tarde ante el Bayern de Múnich en el estadio Qatar Fundation. «El bomboro», apodo con el que se le conoce al futbolista en México, intentará conseguir otro hito ante el ganador de la pasada edición de la Champions League.

 

¿Quién es Gignac?

Gignac es un delantero francés de 35 años que aterrizó en San Nicolás de la Garza hace 6 campañas para hacer historia con los Tigres de la UANL. Natural de Martigues (Francia), el atacante es de sangre gitana, concretamente, de la etnia romaní, como otras leyendas del fútbol como Andrea Pirlo y Eric Cantona. Este dato lo reveló en una entrevista en la revista So Foot en 2009.

 

Entre la pobreza y el fútbol

Conocido como Dedé en su entorno más íntimo, desarrolló su infancia y su adolescencia en equipos locales, como en el ES Fos-sur-Mer y en el FC Martigues. Su hogar fue crecer entre caravanas, trabajando con su familia en los mercados y ferias urbanas de la zona, vendiendo ropa, entre otros productos. Con 17 años, decidió ir a la región de Bretaña tras la llamada del FC Lorient.

 

Gignac, cazador de goles y de animales

En «las merluzas» , Gignac tuvo dos años de adaptación hasta su salto al primer equipo en 2004. En su debut, anotó nada más entrar desde el banquillo. Aunque tuvo una participación destacada durante unos partidos, luego volvió al banco de suplentes y eso provocó que la siguiente temporada fuera cedido al Pau FC.

“En mi etapa en Lorient, desconectaba del fútbol cazando ciervos y conejos”, declaró Gignac en la revista So Foot.

Precisamente, su gran rendimiento en la National le hizo un hueco en el FC Lorient en la 2006-2007, ya en la Ligue 1, donde fue titular, nombrado como el mejor jugador del equipo, gracias a sus 10 goles y sus 5 asistencias.

 

 

Un referente en el fútbol francés

Sus siguientes pasos fueron en el Toulouse, el Olympique de Marsella e incluso, titular en la selección nacional. En «Los Violetas» , estuvo tres campañas, desde 2007 hasta 2011, consiguiendo un pichichi en su segunda temporada con 24 goles.

“Él solo sabe jugar de una forma: Dándolo todo siempre”, opinó Thierry Henry acera de Gignac.

En «Los Focenses», Gignac tuvo una difícil adaptación. Si bien es cierto que realizó grandes actuaciones, durante dos años no encontró una regularidad constante, llegando a sufrir críticas de la prensa y de leyendas del Marsella, como Jean-Pierre Papin, que aseguró que el juego de Gignac era «demasiado previsible».

 

Gignac, en el corazón del «Loco» Bielsa

Un año bastó para que Marcelo Bielsa se enamorase del felino. Fue cuando aceptó el cargo de dirigir al Olympique de Marsella en la 2014/2015. Si bien es cierto que Gignac venía de buenos registros goleadores (18 y 22 goles entre todas las competiciones), la situación del equipo no acompañaba y tampoco su estado de forma, casi siempre pasado de peso.

A su llegada, el «Loco» pidió los 48 partidos de la temporada anterior. Y lanzó un órdago: «Gignac bajará de 2 a 6 kilos y marcará 25 goles«. Se quedó en 23 y rebajó su capacidad de delantero asistente para ser más goleador.

 

 

En el documental realizado por Interieur Sport, «André-Pierre Gignac, el Bomboro», sale una carta de Bielsa llamada «¿Por qué respeto a Gignac?», en la que el argentino se puso a los pies del francés y reconoció que el futbolista francés le hizo mejor entrenador.

“Es invencible porque jamás se rinde. Deja en el campo toda su energía. Contagia su emoción al hincha y se apasiona él mismo al hacerlo. En su diccionario, no existen las excusas ni las justificaciones. Se enfrenta a la realidad sabiendo que no podrá superarla”, escribió Marcelo Bielsa en la carta.

 

Historia del fútbol mexicano

Es innegable que Gignac está escribiendo un capítulo glorioso en el libro del fútbol azteca. En estos seis años en los felinos universitarios, ha anotado y regalado 147 goles y 24 asistencias en 246 partidos, siendo el máximo goleador europeo de la Liga MX y de la historia de Tigres, además de la conquista de 8 títulos más un subcampeonato de la Libertadores.

Primo de Yohan Mollo (Panathinaikos FC) y del retirado Jacques Abardonado, Gignac reconoció que en cinco minutos se hizo «mexican» al ver el Estadio Universitario. Sus costumbres en su infancia y su ascendencia gitana con origen de rama española, facilitaron su adaptación en cuanto al idioma y a la comprensión de la cultura mexicana.

 

 

¿Cómo juega Gignac?

Gracias a sus 1,88 m de altura, se sirve de su remate de cabeza como un arma que no es la más destacada. Si por algo destaca Gignac, es por sus disparos desde fuera del área con la pierna derecha, marcando golazos que se convierten en obras de arte. Asimismo, su habilidad esencial sin balón es el juego de espaldas.

Además, destaca por su capacidad de asociación, siendo un jugador que contribuye de forma fundamental en el colectivo del equipo y en el apoyo de sus compañeros, de ahí sus grandes datos en las asistencias o el flechazo que sufrió Bielsa por él.

En definitiva, Gignac es un fenómeno de masas que ha conseguido expandir la liga mexicana gracias a su nombre al continente europeo. Hoy puede agrandar su historia ante el Bayern, un rival al que ya se ha enfrentado a dos titulares del equipo alemán. Por un lado, ya marcó a Neuer en un amistoso ante Alemania con la selección. Por el otro, se enfrentó a Alphonso Davies en las semis de la Concachampions en 2017, donde se intercambiaron la camiseta y posaron juntos después del partido. ¿Podrá Gignac con su Tigres romper la hegemonía del fútbol europeo en el Mundial de Clubes durante los últimos siete años?

If you are working to raise your credit score you have to make some trade-offs.

  27. I have realized that over the course of making a relationship with real estate homeowners, you’ll be able to come to understand that, in every single real estate deal, a percentage is paid. Ultimately, FSBO sellers don’t «save» the commission payment. Rather, they try to earn the commission by simply doing a great agent’s occupation. In the process, they invest their money in addition to time to perform, as best they can, the jobs of an representative. Those duties include uncovering the home via marketing, showing the home to prospective buyers, creating a sense of buyer urgency in order to make prompt an offer, scheduling home inspections, managing qualification assessments with the bank, supervising maintenance, and assisting the closing of the deal.

  28. A further issue is that video gaming became one of the all-time main forms of recreation for people of various age groups. Kids participate in video games, and adults do, too. The XBox 360 is amongst the favorite video games systems for folks who love to have hundreds of activities available to them, and also who like to relax and play live with some others all over the world. Many thanks for sharing your ideas.

  29. I have observed that online diploma is getting well-liked because getting your college degree online has changed into a popular method for many people.

Still some others might have a qualification in one training but would like to pursue one thing they now develop an interest in.

  30. One more thing. In my opinion that there are many travel insurance sites of trustworthy companies than enable you to enter your trip details and get you the quotes. You can also purchase the particular international travel cover policy on-line by using your current credit card. All that you should do would be to enter your travel details and you can understand the plans side-by-side. Only find the program that suits your financial allowance and needs after which use your bank credit card to buy it. Travel insurance online is a good way to search for a respected company to get international travel insurance. Thanks for revealing your ideas.

  31. Thanks for the strategies you are discussing on this website.

Keeping away from the bank is only going to draw any foreclosed realization. Thanks for your article.

  36. Good post right here. One thing I’d like to say is the fact most professional domains consider the Bachelors Degree like thejust like the entry level standard for an online course. Though Associate Qualifications are a great way to start, completing the Bachelors reveals many good opportunities to various professions, there are numerous on-line Bachelor Course Programs available via institutions like The University of Phoenix, Intercontinental University Online and Kaplan.

I’d also like to say that there can be situation in which you will make application for a loan and do not need a cosigner such as a National Student Aid Loan. But when you are getting a loan through a common finance company then you need to be made ready to have a cosigner ready to make it easier for you. The lenders will base any decision on the few components but the main one will be your credit ratings. There are some financial institutions that will as well look at your job history and determine based on that but in almost all cases it will be based on on your scores.
