Girona got three very important points yesterday to face what is to come, starting with this Friday’s game against Celta (8 p.m.). Michel made a positive assessment of the first win of the season against Getafe (3-1) in the premiere in Montilivi as a First Division team. The coach repeated that “we must be a team that continues to make history because we want to be in the First Division for many years”. “We’re just getting started and there’s still a long way to go, but Girona’s idea is to grow,” he stressed.
THE MATCH
“What I liked the most is the idea of continuously going for the game. With more difficulties in the first half having control and after the pressure after the loss. We made Getafe uncomfortable. The worst thing is that the idea is to play. The goal we conceded is to play and it’s my fault, but the player can’t be contemplative. We can’t have the ball for two minutes without attacking. We had depth with Taty, Yan, Yangel, Roro.. . We deserved the victory.”
STUANI I TATY CASTELLANOS
“The pair above are totally different players. In certain matches they can play together. Taty and Stuani are two different profiles.”
RIQUELME
“Roro has a knock on his shoulder, but we don’t think there’s anything else. He asked for the change because it was bothering him. We think he’ll arrive on Friday.”
THE VICTORY
“Everyone is very happy. There is still a lot of work to do and a long way to go. It was our presentation in front of our people, we were able to dedicate the victory to her and I think she leaves happy because she feels represented. The players know the responsibility we have . It’s what gives me the most joy.”
THE DEBUTS OF JAVI HERNÁNDEZ AND REINIER
“Javi and Reinier improve our squad. They are two great signings who will add. I have seen them both very well.”
On the other hand, the coach of Getafe, Quique Sanchez Flores, he did not leave his home yesterday in Montilivi at all satisfied. “Girona had fire and we didn’t. We entered the game very late. We knew that the opponent was back in the category and had this atmosphere of passion and ambition. We had the feeling that there was no offer for the ball. The lack of personality scares me. The path is different, we have to change,” he said.
