The panorama compared to last season is very different and the situation, of course, too. The Girona compete in the highest category and look all rivals in the eye. Now, when it’s not Juanpe it’s Bernardo and when it’s not, Samu Saiz, Valery, David López, Juan Carlos or whoever Girona’s individual mistakes are penalizing the team even more at this start of the season. So much so that the team has not scored in the last three games against Betis (2-1), Royal Society (3-5) and Atlético de Madrid (2-1), in three games in which Míchel’s men have done well to add at least a point. They have not succeeded and Girona have conceded three consecutive defeats that place them, waiting for the end of the day too close to the hot zone of the classification. This adds significance to this coming Saturday’s clash at the Montilivi stadium against Cadiz (2:00 p.m.), a direct rival in the fight for permanence.
It was exactly a year and a week ago that Girona did not concede three defeats in a row, without a stop. It was last season, in the Second Divisionwhen those of Michelfor whom it was difficult for God and help to carburate, they lost against Almeria (1-2), Lugo (1-0) i Notch (1-3) in the duels corresponding to matches 8 to 10.

Despite the two series of three defeats, the team reacted and raised the flight to end up ascending to the play-off.
