A recognition of Quique Cárcel’s skills

GIRONAIt hasn’t been easy lately to be Quique Cárcel. The sporting director of Girona must live with the fact that he has been singled out for relegation to the Second Division. And not because he went down, because for a club like the white-and-red he should be the most normal in the world, but because of how it happened: out of the last 10 games, 9 were lost and in the middle he went ratify the continuity of Eusebius, who had been overwhelmed by the situation. The facts are from 2019 and Montilivi still weighs. The following year, despite having the highest budget in the category, the squad failed: it gave off an insecurity that led him to have four coaches. And last year, with fewer resources, getting to the end was surely a miracle. In both seasons, many of the signings failed. Some of them, with inadequate wages given the performance.

This year, however, it is fair to admit that he has been very successful and that he is teaching the skills that allowed him to build the best Girona in history, the one that went up to Primera. The lack of money has forced him to resort to an old thought that is coming true: when the summer of 2014 came, almost eight years ago, he said out loud that he wanted to try to play football well and that he was visualizing a Girona of the future with base players for the first team. In this fascinating journey, the people of Girona have competed in two courses in the Primera Division, have achieved a direct promotion and have played four play-offs, with three endings included. Cárcel, who has suffered a major setback and ends his contract at the end of the season, does not close the door to continue.

A positive consensus

And he was right because, if Francisco was already a part of the signing, Michel’s arrival is an absolute success. A project that looks very good is being cooked up. And, if we applaud the Madrid man for his football idea, we are basically applauding the decision of the sporting director, who is the one who signed him because he believes in that idea. Given that the budget does not allow rockets to be launched, Cárcel has closed the return of Aleix Garcia, the transfer of Baena, and the renovations of Stuani or the most recent of Arnau Martínez, to name just four operations that generate a positive consensus . Cárcel’s name, however, is not often mentioned. He seems to have fallen into oblivion, to do everything wrong.

Montilivi has regained his enthusiasm, and in part, he has regained it thanks to the effectiveness of his sporting director. Girona is the sixth ranked, in the area of play-off, and is still alive in the Cup, in which he will face Rayo with the aim of advancing to the quarterfinals, a round that has only been played once in its history. Do you know who was in the offices? Indeed, Quique Cárcel, who is already breaking his head to improve the current squad this winter and meet the needs of Michel (he wants a winger, a midfielder and a striker) to aspire to direct promotion. This Sunday at noon, with the news of Stuani and Arnau, the people of Girona receive the Fuenlabrada (14 hours, Movistar LaLiga).
