The Girona returns to the scene this evening in Montilivi against Valladolid after having scratched a good point last Saturday at Palma (1-1). A tie that, as it turned out – goal in the addition of Samu Saiz from the penalty spot – must give a lot of confidence to a growing Girona. Míchel is clear that the discourse does not change: both Mallorca and Valladolid are teams from the Liga del Girona, just like Barça or Madrid. “The points are not worth double” yesterday reminded the coach, who recovers for this evening Valery Fernández. On the contrary, they will not be there due to physical problems Stuani, Herrera, Terrats, Borja García, Kébé, Iván Martín and neither Ureña, with a sprained ankle. Be that as it may, Valladolid is a direct rival of Girona in the fight for permanence and a victory today would mean another good morale boost apart from securing three points for a Montilivi that, so far, has seen one a cold one (Getafe 3-1) and a hot one (Celta 0-1).
Loaded with excitement and with more weapons than in the last game against Celta, Girona has the challenge of giving a victory to a devoted fan who will see them in action for the first time today Oriol Romeu, Toni Villa i Manu Vallejo. Three signings who debuted in Palma and who this evening have all the numbers to debut in Montilivi. After the recital of containment and creation in one of Sound Moix, Romeu has secured his place in the eleven – in fact, if it is not due to injury or an unthinkable drop in performance, he should have it all season. Without Herrera or Terrats, his neighbor fromUlldecona Alex Garcia The two Ebrencs will play whether Míchel maintains Mallorca’s 5-2-3-1 or if he returns to the line of four defenders as against Celta. In this sense, if he forms with five at the back, Arnau should keep the title and Yan Couto continue on the bench. From here, Santi Bueno, David Lopez and Juanpe would be central and who knows if the coach gives the alternative to Javi Hernández, instead of Gutiérrez to the left.
In the attack zone, Riquelme has his place secured. The midfielder loaned by theathletic he has been the most active player in these first days and is called to be the offensive brain of the team. At first, Castellanos, the purest 9 available, should also repeat although with the arrival of Manu Vallejo, Míchel has more options. Samu Saiz’s good minutes also open the doors to an eleven where, it would be very strange if Reinier repeated it. The Brazilian was practically not seen in Palma.
Meanwhile, Valladolid arrive today on a charter flight with the joy of Monday’s victory against Almeria with a goal in the addition of Weissman. The Israeli striker has overcome physical ailments and could even start today. batch it also depends on the physical condition of the Alt-Empordana central Zou Soft i d’El-Yamiq, which bring problems. Don’t think about the triangle in the middle of the field that they form Watery, Kike Perez i rock table it’s one of Míchel’s big goals for today’s game. Kennedysigned from Chelsea on the last day he could travel and make his debut.
Toni Villa faces his Valladolid for the first time and Monchu returns to Montilivi
Today’s match will see the return of Monchu Rodriguez a Montilivi. The Mallorcan played at Girona the 2020-21 season (43 games and 3 goals) loaned by Barça and since promotion was not achieved, he was signed by Granada. In the middle of last season, he was transferred to the Valladolid who, following the rise of the Castilians and the decline of the Andalusians, signed it up as a property in exchange for a little over a million euros. He left more of a mark in Valladolid, Toni Villa. The Murcian arrived there when he was only 14 years old and climbed the categories until he reached the first team. Last week he closed a stage of 13 years a Pucella to sign for Girona. batch pointed out that “it will be strange to see him up front”, said the Spanish coach yesterday, who remembered that “we can only wish him the best as a person and as a player”. In this way, Michel he remembered that Villa “has adapted very well” and that “the match in Pucela will surely be more special” than today’s in Montilivi.
