Girona must win yes or yes this Sunday at Heliodoro to accompany Almeria and Valladolid in the First Division. Those of Míchel Sánchez are clear and face in a return match as what it is: “a final”. Unlike Tenerife, the draw does not serve them and, therefore, they know that they will have to go for the victory from the start with all the risks that this entails. They trust the locker room and are convinced that with their “football” they can achieve the coveted promotion. This was stated by the players on Media Day today Santi Bueno and Aleix Garcia.
“We are preparing the match in the best way and with the maximum motivation. We only need one goal to go up. I think neither team will give away anything and the ascent will be decided by the detailsSaid Bueno. The Ulldecona midfielder followed the same line, insisting on the excitement of a milestone like this. “There are no butterflies at the moment. We now have a barbecue (the team has eaten together for communion) and we want to enjoy the playoffs. We will fight for victory. It is clear that there will be times when Tenerife will attack, but we have passed many tests throughout the season and it is a merit to be here. We have to finish it “, commented Aleix Garcia.
They both agree that the game will be “different” from the first leg in Montilivi (0-0). “Playing in front of their fans will put Tenerife under pressure. We know they have good players and direct play, but we have totry to carry out the same plan as in Girona to stop them as we did. We played a spectacular game, but we didn’t get it right. On Sunday we have to try let the first opportunity we have go insideSays Aleix Garcia. While the Uruguayan center considers that “we will win like everyone else and even more so because it is the only option we have”: “We sign to start scoring as Ipurua. The sooner the goal is scored, the better.
“The master has instilled in us an idea from day one and we will not change it. The goal is having chances. We have to be an offensive team and go for the game. The luck factor will also play a role, although I think he will be with us “, added Aleix Garcia. Ebrenc stated that “I will sign the extension if we win, if I don’t I would like to win during the 90 minutes because we are in reserve, even if we finally have to reach 120 I’m sure the legs will be fresh”.
This year the playoff final will be out. The Heliodoro will be packed with more than 22,000 spectators, among whom there are sure to be 250 Girona fans. “People will come to support us, but we know that we will have the whole city behind us. Everyone will be watching. Family, friends … even in Uruguay. That will be the extra strength of the team “, said Bueno. For Aleix Garcia, “every player likes to play in front of so many people”: “We are able to win in any field as we showed in Eibar. The team is committed. I’ve had a thorn in my side since I left Girona in the year of the descent and I hope I can get it out. ”
