Jail for Arnau: “I hope I get an important opportunity because we will both benefit”

February begins and the winter market in January is left behind. quique prisonsports director of Gironawant to check a new window of movements in the offices of Montilivi.

A market ends with a lower low rather than a high. “Logically, when we built the team at the beginning of the season we tried to build a long squad, knowing that we had three players with major injuries, Ibrahima Kebé, Iván Marín and Borja García. We pulled the remaining 22 players and in I think in these months we fought. There are players who have more minutes than others, like every year, but we know that there is a position that can be strengthened. Like every year, there are players who receive interest from other clubs and asking to leave because they don’t have minutes. From there, we appreciate each situation. These are the cases, for example, of Ramón Terrats, Manu Vallejo, Óscar Ureña and Samu Saiz. Regarding Samu, with full respect, a change of scenery is necessary, despite being a very important player for the club”, he qualified.

Many saw the figure of a pivot required after the loss of terraces. “Speaking to the coach, the inclusion of a central defender or a pivot is appreciated. We thought it would be more convenient to bring a central defender because there is a player, like David López, who is qualified to play in the pivot position. Another figure that the coach asked us to be on the attack and the club made a great effort to bring in Tsygankov. This is the valuation of our market in general terms”, he pointed out.

“We created a balanced template”

His opinion about the halfway point of the League did not escape the script. “My assessment in the first round is similar to what you have or what we feel. The team is competing well and playing good football, but we are fighting with everyone. We know the complications, the difficulties and the strengths of some teams. They are all getting stronger and have good squads. Things are not achieved just by playing good football, in the end we are where we are and we have to improve and be stronger in both areas. There were mistakes that cost us dearly, despite being the fifth most goals scored. The numbers are what they are and our idea is to improve in the second round, for that we will make a balanced squad with two levels of players for each position”, he added.

There is no thorn in this window. “Everything I did was because I thought I had to. There was a situation with Yan Couto’s injury that created a debate, but with Arnau in the squad and the importance he has for us, we thought it was enough. As in addition, Valery is a proper player for the side and every time he comes out he shows a good level. He is from here and shows great growth. It’s time to bet on him. Everyone can comment on what what we lack, but ultimately the coach and I will decide the team based on what seems most comfortable to us,” he argued.

The club has made a great effort to Tsygankov. “This economic margin is difficult to study because everything you spend now will punish you in the future. You have to make decisions about whether something is really necessary or not, our margin is what it is and that’s why we have a vision for the future. I think we made a good effort. The team with the third most important signing in the Liga is made by Girona and that says a lot about the economic commitment. We are all on the basis of putting the team together in the First Division and making steps forward. We are trying to build the best team possible in a very important league and with the team with the smallest budget. That is also remarkable,” he said.

“We are very aware of the players’ case. We know his league is on hold and he hasn’t played since November. Obviously he needs some time to adapt because he doesn’t speak the language, he needs to be organized and he needs to learn the coach’s tactical concepts. He’s a young player, gifted and I think he’s going to help us. I hope that between now and next week he will be ready to contribute what we believe he can give us”.

“We are working towards next year”

Each player is a different world. “We are assessing many situations that we have within the squad. We have players whose contracts are ending, players who are on loan that we don’t know what will happen to them and other different cases. We are working towards next year to be competitive but first we need to consolidate the team in the First Division. Valery is a player who has been at the club for many years, we know him and he is growing a lot. Our intention is for him to continue because player he has the ‘Gironi’ DNA and he has the level to be important in our club”, he praised.

There are players like Juan Carlos, Juanpe either Bernard Their contract is about to expire. “Each player has his personal situation and they are all important to the club. This has to be evaluated based on the performance of the second round and on a daily basis. They are players who deserve very important respect because part of this history that we are experiencing here is thanks to their performance”, he recalled.

the soap opera about arnau ran its course. “Arnau has a contract with the club and we are very happy because he is brutally growing and maturing at his age. I like him because, despite the fact that he talks a lot, he is focused and works well and has humility. Things come into their own. I hope I get a chance at a very important club, because that means both the club and the player will benefit. These are things that, for now, we should not think about because we cannot decentralize ourselves. If the player has to make a move come the summer and the club benefits, we will all be very happy”, he clarified.

Quique it lives as another. “I am suffering a lot because we are the team with the least history in the League and that worries me. We should all add and fear when they come to play in Montilivi because I think the unity between the team and the fans is important. We have our first experiences and maybe I’m not as scared as other years, but I have a lot of respect for him because if we see the competition we realize that anything can happen. We must give our best, be very focused, be humble and value where we are”, he added.

He doesn’t believe in strangers in college. “The referee thing is a subject. I think they are wrong, like everything. With VAR, sometimes, you come out angrier because you don’t understand why it went into play or not. It goes through neighborhoods and all we feel that way. We should not think that there is a story against Girona. There are statistics that say that we are the most affected team, and it annoys me, because if we had those points we would be calmer. I don’t want to- think of strange stories, everything has become too modern and I have a lot of respect for the referees because this is a group that is not really easy”, he concluded.
