With Pablo Torre’s announcement, Girona had a margin night to get to know the new member of the rojiblanca squad before facing Olot in the first match of the 2023/2024 season.
More than a week after tying their ties, Míchel’s men will travel only ten kilometers by bus to step on the turf of the ‘olotí’ team, a Third RFEF team after the locals’ fatal relegation in last season. The Vallecano coach will have the first team, except for Ricard Artero, Toni Villa and Santi Bueno, and almost a dozen youngsters from ‘l’Acadèmia’.
In addition, Pablo Torre could get minutes if the coach considers it. The Spaniard has already passed the relevant medical examination and started training with the Catalans before the start of the pre-season for the rojiblanco team, so he will be available to play in the green of La Garrotxa.
This is a chance to also see the first minutes of the new additions. With the permission of Gazzaniga, Yan Couto and Yangel, who already played a few minutes in the Girona jersey, figures like Daley Blind, Savinho Moreira or the aforementioned Pablo could appear on the stage.
It’s hard to see less than 20 different players from the visiting team. The coach of Vallecano, during friendlies, usually changes to nine, ten or even eleven pieces at halftime. It is also not surprising to see changes after half an hour of meeting. Missing from that group of players is Arnau Martínez, who is speeding up his holiday before returning next week to head to the sports city of Manchester City.
At 7:00 pm, still in the heat, Olot and Girona will cross paths again, as they did on August 11, 2017. At that time, also in the preseason, the clash ended in a draw and no goals certainly in the first season that the rojiblancos set foot in the First Division for the first time.
