The Europe train passes through San Sebastian

With the momentum of the results and the morale in the clouds, Girona will look to extend their state of grace against one of the best teams in the League. The mission is difficult, but not impossible. In fact, the team has already shown that if it brings out its best version, it is capable of competing against anyone, including them BarçaMadrid or Atlético. It remains to be seen whether the stoppage of the competition last weekend, and the rest days, have cut off Míchel’s upward momentum. The collection of accolades has often backfired for the team and during the season, there are a few examples (Almeria, Cádiz, Getafe, Valladolid…). Less and less, of course, and the team has shown that they have learned their lesson. Nor would it be the day today, in a shop window like that Real Arenato let go, because Real already showed which foot they are on in the first round with a 3-5 that did a lot of damage.

Míchel does not plan to allow any decompression to the team because there are still goals to achieve. The first, to reach the famous 53 points and become the best Girona in history. The technician’s message is the same as always. “Step by step and the higher the better.” Of course, if the real chances of entering Europe, let no one doubt that Girona will try to get there with everything. “Dreams and challenges must be real and this one is. We are ready, but we have to get there first. And before that, the goal of 53 points must be reached,” he recalled.

Without Castellanos, Míchel is clear that Stuani will lead the white-and-red attack today. In the last day against the Mallorca, the coach opted for a five-man line at the back with Bernardo, Juanpe i good to control Muriqi. This afternoon, everything suggests that he should return to the back four, but the presence of a tall and thick striker at Real like the Norwegian Sorloth means that he should not be ruled out that he could repeat. David Lopez he could return to the team and take the place of Bernardo or Juanpe. There are fewer doubts about the rest of the eleven, where Romeu and Iván Martín will continue in the middle of the field and also have a guaranteed place Tsygankov i riquelme. Cleanerquite thick against Mallorca, it doesn’t seem like he has to repeat ownership. Couto o devious they are the alternatives.

In the meantime, Real Madrid is also in a great dynamic of play and results and on the verge of mathematically securing a place in the Champions League. Imanol Alguacil is on sick leave due to injury Brais Méndez, Sadiq i Merquelanz, injured On the contrary, the Basque coach recovered at the last minute Igor Zubeldia. The centre-back injured his hip against Madrid, but the evolution has been positive and Imanol wanted to include him in the list of players called up for today’s game against Girona.
