Miguel Gutiérrez is, “for all intents and purposes” and as president Delfí Geli has said, a Girona footballer. It wasn’t even a week ago that his signing was a reality. Bound until 2027, he comes from Real Madrid, a club that in the future can repossess him. For now, however, everyone is thinking about the present. Also the player, who wants to succeed in Montilivi, making the jump to the First Division and leaving home, out of his comfort zone. It was presented this afternoon in a short act but which served to capture his first impressions. He said he is “prepared” for this new stage of his life, at the same time as Quique Cárcel, the sporting director, has asked for “patience” with his performance. “He is very young and we all want him to grow constantly, but not at high speed. We have to take some pressure off him.”
Why Girona?
“I spoke with Míchel and the truth is that when he explained the project to me, I was quite convinced by the idea he conveyed to me. It is quite close to my style of play, to my way of playing. When a club wants you and I bet hard for you, it’s not the time to think about it too much, but you have to go all out and give everything for this team.”
what do you expect from you
“What calls me the most is being able to make the jump to the First Division. I consider this a very important step in my professional career, which will allow me to grow as a footballer. If so, to be able to do great things in Girona. The priority is to grow on the grass, and also to mature in several aspects that I have to improve”
Club effort
“I am very grateful to Girona for this bet. Also to Míchel, to the sports management and to the club, who noticed me and went to all lengths to sign me. During the season I want to show on the field why “he has bet so much for me”.
The preseason
“Everything has gone a bit fast. It was overnight. I have played a couple of games and in both I felt very comfortable. But there is still a long season ahead and I am convinced that I can prove many positive things.”
Personal growth
“Leaving home is a step that must be taken to continue looking forward. I was fully aware that jumping to the First Division at Real Madrid was very difficult. For the club it is, above all. Leaving my usual environment is a step that will make me grow at a football level and also as a person. That I’m ready.”
Game system
“Last season we usually played with four defenders at the back and on occasion we did it with five, like here. I have come to Girona to adapt to the needs of the team and the coach and with the will to do the best you can.”
It has been added Quique Prison, who has explained that the signing of Miguel Gutiérrez is “an important bet. We believe in him a lot. We know him very well, the mister and I. Míchel has seen him grow up and play a lot. It’s a step forward towards the idea we have as a club and as a project.”
