After returning to work on Tuesday of last week and settling in on Sunday at Esteponathe Girona competed again today and did so at a more than correct level. Míchel’s have passed Lieja Standard at least thanks to a goal from Samu Saiz in the second half in a game in which the score could have been much clearer, if the Girona players had been more precise in front of goal. The coach has distributed minutes among all the players except the porters, Cleanerwith discomfort still, and Herrera, injuredt. The young players played for half an hour each. The few conclusions that can be drawn from a match that can only serve to start recovering the physical and tactical rhythm, however, are positive for a Girona that will play again in Estepona on Saturday against eNice.
Despite the logic’s lack of rhythm and having lost that spark with which it ended before the stoppage of the World Cup, the team deployed for a large part of the game the seva idea of play of touch and possession and thus disabled the Belgians, who barely created any danger in the goal of Juan Carlos, who played the full ninety minutes. Offensively, Girona must gradually recover sensations and, above all, clairvoyance. And it’s that after Samu Saiz’s goal only start the restart in a great triangulation between Couto, Roca and the Madrilenian, Míchel’s men have not been able to complete half a dozen clear actions to sentence and close the match. Ebetween Castellanos, riquelme, Miguel Gutierrez or Samu Saiz have forgiven the second.
