GIRONAThere is no need to ask: the confidence in Míchel Sánchez, Girona’s coach, is absolute. From the club, there is no sign of doubt. The dynamics of the team are disastrous, with six defeats in ten games that keep him stuck in the relegation zone, but there is a general conviction regarding the figure of the Madrid coach. Míchel’s ideas are what Quique Cárcel, the sports director, wanted, so he signed him. But the ball needs to start coming in, because the sensations are not good and Montilivi has experienced similar streaks in recent times and has not always acted in the same way. This Thursday, in the Mirandés field (9pm, Movistar LaLiga), anything other than winning will deepen the wound.
In fact, no one from the club has come out to make statements ratifying Michel in office. When that happens, if it happens, then the technician will be scared; because a message of confidence is usually accompanied by a dismissal after a few days. Offices do not consider that their future will end so soon, but experiences remind us that security is often fictitious. There is the case of Eusebio Sacristán, who with nine defeats in ten days sent the team to Second. That immobility keeping him on the bench, produced by the panic and anguish of the situation, still has consequences today. But there is also the case of Juan Carlos Unzué and Pep Lluís Martí, dismissed precisely in their sixth defeat, when they led twelve and twenty-three league games, respectively. Francisco was saved when he already had his suitcase practically done.
“For me, the confidence that Girona is showing me is very important. I have a lot of people around me, beyond the family, who ask me why they are worried and I explain to them that my feeling is that from the club I receive affection and support. Not all clubs do that in difficult times. Hopefully all the empathy can return to them not only with work, but also with results. I’m giving my life for this project to go well “, says Míchel, who leaves the injured Juncà, Terrats and Pol Lozano out of the squad. The change of image that produced the shock to the system against Huesca, in which the team did not deserve to lose, could have continuity. “We still have room to react, but these are delicate weeks. Maybe we have time like this, of suffering. And we will not make excuses, we will have to work harder. If we don’t do enough with 20 shots, we will have to make 30 ”.
