Thanks to the draw at Santiago Bernabeu and the dazzling victory against theAthletic Club of last Friday, the Girona he has recovered his smile and has had a great party Saint Narcís the calmest. Four points that have served to see the glass half full again and regain confidence in a team that, due to bad results – not playing – had been losing momentum until falling to the relegation places. The Girona players have ended a streak of seven days without winning (3 points from 21) to now settle in one of three games without losing (5 from 9). The situation is good, but not optimal even for launching rockets, and this evening, Girona has the opportunity to continue improving it with the visit to Elx in the last match before the competition was stopped by the dispute of the world. A “very difficult” duel according to him Michel, which in no way sees it as a cheating party. “It would be a trap if we thought we were superior, and we’re not”, stressed the coach yesterday who remembered that Girona is “the most humble team in the category”. Be that as it may, a win today would allow Girona’s residents to enjoy a long month of peace and tranquility awaiting the return of the League at the end of December. And, in return, it would further sink a direct rival for permanence.
The reality of Elche is diametrically opposed to that of Girona. Leading Cuers with just four points and without having won a game yet this season, he resigned yesterday morning Jorge Almiron, the second coach in which he attends the course. Before, the club had sacked the ex-Girona, Francis Rodriguez, because of the bad results. All of this will mean that today on the bench he sits, provisionally, Sergio Mantecon, the technical secretary. Almirón’s farewell to the bench means that all the work done by Girona to analyze the opponent will be of little or no use for today’s game. However, it has become clear that if the team is as good as these last few days, it can stand up to any rival in the category, be it the Real Madrid, the Athletic or the leather. The team leaves this morning on a charter flight to Elche and will return in the evening after the game. They will not be there on the expedition Couto i Reinierwhich have not been recovered in time, nor Juanpe, Borja Garcia, Bebe i Samu Saiz. Míchel seems to have found the key with the change to the 4-4-2, with a half forward behind the striker. That’s why there shouldn’t be many changes to the starting eleven in Elche today if it’s not for physical ailments. In this sense, then, it would not be surprising if the manager chose to repeat the team that beat Athletic or make few changes to the eleven. Riquelme per Toni Villa it could be one of the tweaks.
Meanwhile, Elche is still in the middle of the fire caused by Almirón’s balloon departure. Palacios, Fidel, Pastore i Fede Fernandezall with muscle problems, are short. gumbau It is a titular profile.
