The smile with which Míchel greeted Viktor Tsygankov on Tuesday at La Vinya betrayed him. The Madrid native saw a gift from Kings fall from the sky in the form of a differential winger of first international level. And that in the letter to the Kings there wasn’t much written, except for a center and an attacker who I hoped would be of a lower profile than Tsygankov. At the time of truth, however, the signing of the Ukrainian has put Girona on everyone’s lips in terms of the market. I’m sure that many fans of international football were surprised to see how Tsygankov ended up at a team that had just been promoted to Primera, rather than at a Porto, Villarreal, Sevilla or PSV Eindhoven, clubs with a much longer continental history than the Girona In this sense, questioned about whether tomorrow’s opponent, Villarreal, was a good mirror for Girona, Míchel took the opportunity to talk about what Tsygankov’s landing in Montilivi means. “Everyone goes their own way. Villarreal is a great club and a place where things are done in a spectacular way. However, we are also taking steps forward and the signing of Viktor is the best proof because many clubs would like to have him». Míchel detailed that the Ukrainian – who is already registered in the League – will be in Villarreal tomorrow, but he will not make his debut yet because “he is not ready”.
