Girona receives its last bullet

With two out of twelve in four days, Girona can celebrate that it was very much alive for the last day. This is perhaps the best news after a quartet of clashes without knowing the victory. Regardless of the level and position of the rivals, Girona lacked steam last month.

Despite Míchel’s message to his fans at the ‘permanence party’ organized by the club, the Vallecano coach was not happy. There were setbacks, also injuries, but the team lacked bite, especially in the last two games.

“It’s not worth passing the ball on a lie,” said the coach the day before. Girona missed out on two points at Vigo which, added to scraping something against Betis, meant a foot and a half in Europe. In front of the béticos there is little hunger and the prize for the guests is formed in very little. Two almost identical plays ended with a low cross that Borja Iglesias pushed in twice.

Despite this, Navarra was waiting for them. If Girona win and Athletic play at the Bernabéu, they will make history by firing a bullet that kills two birds with one stone. They would add 52 points, surpassing the club’s best historical record in the First Division. For dessert, a sweet Conference League awaits them two months after the regular tournament.

The ‘gironí’ coach would rather win than defend a result. The image of the last two games is so worrying that the leader of the team did not see logic in the party held on the pitch of the Girona fiefdom.

However, and aware that the permanence is also a great success in their return to the First Division, Stuani and Míchel reserved a few words of thanks, although they are also ambitious, because the fact marks the possibility of making history for them.

The judge is, at the same time, involved. The rojillos are one point ahead of the rojiblancos and defending the result will be effective as long as the Basques play. Girona spent all the ammunition it had, except for the one it was preparing to try to attack El Sadar.
