Stuani, Ignasi Miquel, Riesgo and Juanpe are untouchable in this return to competition

The return to competition was approaching and most of Girona’s players, including coach Pep Lluís Martí, agreed on one thing. Faced with such a tight schedule and conditioned by circumstances, enjoying a wide squad like the one this season in Montilivi could be an advantage over other teams, even direct rivals in the fight for promotion. They have not finished accompanying the results so far, despite the fact that the line is up and the pessimism of a few days ago has collapsed a bit thanks to Wednesday’s victory and sensations against Numancia. However, it is true that Martí and his coaching staff have taken advantage of these four matches to make a good group of footballers appear, finding the formula and the necessary fit to take note of the present and face the future with guarantees in the short term. . Minutes have been handed out, but not to everyone. Although the matches have been going on and so it will be until the league lowers the shutter, more than one untouchable is reluctant to leave the pitch. Will this bill pass?

Since the competition lifted the curtain again just two weeks ago, Girona has played four games: Las Palmas (0-0), Racing (0-0), Elche (1-0) and Numancia (2-0) . He has done so with a difference of only 12 days. In this period of time, Martí has ​​used 22 different footballers. Four of them have played it all. The 360 ​​minutes, without resting one. These are goalkeeper Asier Riesgo, defenders Ignasi Miquel and Juanpe Ramírez, and striker i pitxitxi Cristhian Stuani. The other player to overcome the 300-minute barrier is Borja García, with 304. The Madrid player has always been a starter, but has been replaced three times. These two badly counted weeks have also served to live the debut of two footballers with the white-and-red shirt. Midfielder Ibra Kebe made his debut in Las Palmas, while Uruguayan striker Joaquín Zeballos had some time in Elche. Here you can add the return of Valery Fernandez. Seriously injured last July in England, the stoppage of the competition has been good for him to keep up with his teammates. He is one more in the locker room and accumulates 59 minutes in this resumption of the championship.

The parenthesis was also used by Samu Sáiz to make one reset. Called to be important and a differential piece, until March it had been quite irregular, with performances of all kinds. He did not play in Las Palmas because he was sanctioned, but once he was available Martí did not think twice. He added 243 minutes and took his place at eleven with performances of merit and also a goal. The growing line is also drawn by Àlex Granell and Christian Rivera, who are becoming more and more solid in the middle of the field. This has played to the detriment of Gumbau and Diamanka, starters in Las Palmas but with less and less prominence. Aday and Jairo are the quintessential wildcards; Gallar has disappeared from the map (unpublished the last two games) and Mojica has been one of the most notable. Now that doesn’t stop and tomorrow, new fire test. And new rotations?
