Girona, a ship without an anchor

in Girona the matches will be counted as ‘I dA’ or, in other words, one after Alex. He did not leave the Catalan province, do not panic, but he was forced to do without him due to an injury that will keep him away for a month.

He said this Michel, ‘Aleix this is our anchor’. According to the RAE, the anchor is the ‘iron instrument formed by a bar from which several hooks protrude, which, attached to a chain, are thrown under water to hold the boat’.

Well, the hooks Alex they hold on tight with some laces to birth their partners through their boots. The curvature of those hooks will be parabolically similar to the trajectory of their passes, their crosses into the box or corner kicks. Ulldecona’s was more refined than ever until that muscle piercing came.

Aleix was ironed for 25 days. He played almost all the minutes there and for having competition with his inseparable Oriol Romeu in the midfield. Both hold the Girona boat.

And, like any anchor, it weighs a lot. The Catalan carried the burden of being first in chances created, first in crosses into the area, second in clear chances created, second in passing into the area and third in assists. In other words, Aleix carried the weight of the stats and was a good part of what the team was made of.

Míchel’s men have already missed their teammate in Vallecas. The team lacked some ball and pitch control in the first half. The team sailed with a good boat but, like any floating vehicle, an anchor was necessary to keep it recovering from its damage.

Unfortunately, the competition will take a break this week, days when Alex He will continue to prepare to return as soon as possible though, yes, without the rain holding the midfielder back. Coming for the derby against Barça is an almost impossible mission, but the ‘gironí’ team hopes to count on him for the next finals against Elche and Valladolid. The anchor will arrive for the most important and important moment of the season.
