GironaGirona was optimistic about a couple of months ago. He played with confidence, collected points comfortably and climbed fast positions. It was a team destined for everything or this is what everyone wanted to believe. But how he wants to believe it and what really happens is not the same, coinciding with the growth of expectations, he has slowed down: he has only won one of the last six games and that is 30 days ago. It retains the sixth position, although it has no margin of error. The schedule for the coming weeks forces him to react.
Starting this Sunday in Montilivi against Oviedo (9pm, #Vamos), a direct rival in the fight for play-off. In fact, Girona faces three of its immediate pursuers consecutively: the Asturians, at two points; Las Palmas, three, and Ibiza, two. The role has changed: the people of Girona no longer persecute anyone, now they are the persecuted. Will they catch him? “I don’t want to look back and forward, in the thirteen games we have left. I don’t know where it will take us, but at least we’d like to play it play-off. It is true that today the ascent is very far from us, although this should not stop us from looking ahead. Now, where we have to go is towards our best version “, says Míchel.
The team needs Baena and Stuani to revive
The Madrid coach has had a little difficulty with the loss of Bernardo, sanctioned, on the defensive axis. Not shaking the drawing (it would be a surprise) will force you to change certain habits. There are already alternatives: Arnau (Valery, Iván Martín or Gabri could replace him in the right lane), Juncà, Terrats or one of the dwarfs in the branch, who always respond. In offensive tasks everything is clearer, but at the same time more demanding: the bad dynamics has coincided with the physical problems of Aleix Garcia and Samu Saiz (already recovered), the decline of Baena and the zero goals of Stuani. And the team needs them.
