After more than a week of work, Girona will check their form tomorrow when exactly three weeks will be left before they resume the league against Rayo Vallecano in Montilivi. Without forgetting, of course, the second tie of the Copa del Rey against Cacereño on Thursday, December 22. Míchel Sánchez’s are concentrated in Estepona since last Sunday to put maximum focus on the preparation of the team that stopped the competition for the World Cup in Qatar at the best moment of the season. In this sense, tomorrow morning there will be the first test with one friendly against Standard Liège (11:00 a.m. / Esport3), ranked seventh in the Belgian championship. The coach has the entire squad, except for the injured Juanpe Ramírez and Ibrahima Kébé who have stayed in Girona, and the players signed by the subsidiary Toni Fuidias, Óscar Ureña, Biel Farrés and Joel Roca. On the verge of completing their recovery process, it may be a good time for Samu Saiz, YAn Couto, Borja García, Yangel Herrera and Reinier Jesus to shoot.
Then they will play with French Nice, also in Andalusia, and Osasuna in La Vinya. The most demanding test, however, will be against Manchester City next Saturday, December 17 at the Academy Stadium (2:00 p.m.) and will serve to close the second pre-season.
The club announced this afternoon that two lucky members will be able to accompany the team to Manchester. To have the possibility of going there, you must fill in a form and participate in the draw on the Girona website. The winners will travel on the same plane as the team, departing from Girona airport on Friday the 16th and returning, also to Girona, after the match, and will include accommodation, two VIP tickets and a tour per l’Etihad Stadium.
