Five matches into his tenure at Sporting de Gijón, manager Borja Jiménez has quietly drawn the boundaries of his footballing vision, concentrating trust in a core of thirteen players while leaving nearly half his squad untouched. His reluctance to rotate freely — making substitutions late, sparingly, and often only under duress — speaks less to caution than to conviction. In the early chapters of a managerial tenure, such clarity of selection is both a statement of intent and an implicit verdict on those left waiting.
