The victory (0-1) on Sunday at the Almeria field, in addition to being three gold points for Girona, also left the debut of the last winter signing, Víctor Sánchez. The 34-year-old from Vallès landed on February 1 as a free agent after an experience in the Australian league and had not yet been released with the white-and-red shirt. In fact, despite entering the first calls, a muscle problem, he had a couple of days out of action. Recovered one hundred percent, Míchel relied on him to try to stop Almeria’s impetuous attack by placing him in the middle of the field to help Pol Lozano and Aleix Garcia get water. The decision was good enough and the Vallès player showed that he bites and that he can do well to, in these types of matches, give more physical capacity and restraint to the team.
In any case, the debut of Víctor Sánchez was Girona’s number 33 this season in all competitions. A very high number, yes, but it has the nuance that some of the players have not been in the squad for a long time. This is the case of Mamadou Sylla or Gerard Gumbau, who went to Alabès and Elche, respectively, after the first days, or Jordi Calavera, who has been transferred to Sporting de Gijón this year. winter market. In addition, the avalanche of casualties that the team has suffered at various times of the year, has meant that Michel has had to resort to the nursery. This has allowed us to see the premieres of Eric Monjonell, Dawda Camara, Alex Sala, Biel Farrés and Suleiman Camara, as well as the already established Ricard Artero, Ureña and Gabri Martínez.
As for the distribution of minutes, it has become clear that Michel has an eleven starter in which there are about eight fixed pieces and a few more that can enter. Thus, Bernardo (2,948), Juanpe (2,886), Juan Carlos (2,790), Aleix Garcia (2,614), Arnau (2,514), Bueno (2,441), Baena (2,316) and Jairo (2,066) overcome the two thousand minute barrier. . There are also other important players close by, such as Stuani (1924), Samu Saiz (1911) and Pol Lozano (1,727). Later in the statistics are Bustos (1,468), Borja García (1,445), Kébé (1,253) and Terrats (1,046), who have been, or are, starters.
It should be noted that during the season, a good group of youngsters from the youth team have entered the competition without, however, making their debut. Morilla, Joel Roca, Unai Hernández and Loïc Villiams have been left with honey on their lips. Arnau Ortiz (Penya Deportiva) and Castroviejo (Elche B) are no longer at the club.
