Who will replace Oriol Romeu?

Without Oriol Romeu, Girona has a problem. And he has it because Oriol Romeu is very good. In fact, he is probably one of the best signings Quique Cárcel has ever made. The Ulldecona midfielder, who arrived this summer from the Premier League, saw the fifth yellow in the duel against Rayo Vallecano last week and will have to serve a suspension in tomorrow’s derby against Espanyol. Míchel, however, trusts in the alternatives he has to replace him: line up Terrats from the start, play with a single pivot that would be Aleix Garcia (Iván Martín would accompany him, but in more offensive roles) or bet on Yangel Herrera, a footballer who would thus face his former team.

Romeo has been irreplaceable since his arrival. With him on the pitch, Girona has gained security in many aspects of the game. Romeo releases many teammates and occupies many areas of the field at the same time. Rivals must believe there is more than one, because when you saw him on the left, suddenly you find him on the right. A signing with this performance has allowed Míchel to adapt his ideal to different systems, parking the defensive line of five with which he rose to Primera and include the formation of four at the back, with which he feels truly comfortable and the team responds In addition, Romeu has been seen to raise the ball and organize the game lately, after the rivals noticed his fellow adventurer Aleix Garcia and tied him more short, aware of his danger. There are no headaches when this happens, Romeo takes the ball, commands and if necessary, drives. Iván Martín has also joined after his recovery, a footballer with many associative qualities.

In Cornellà, however, Oriol Romeu will not be there. The Girona coach contemplates different alternatives as a solution, all reasoned and studied. “His absence is important, but I think I have a very good squad and players capable of playing a good role if it’s their turn to go out and prove it. We have Terrats, Yangel, Aleix… Things will go that way, but I won’t say any more”, pointed out Míchel. The option that takes the most strength is that of Ramon Terrats, who already had a few minutes in the triumph of 2020 with Francisco. The other possibilities involve playing Yangel Herrera, whose physical response is unknown, or establishing Aleix Garcia as a pivot.
