Everyone agrees that what happened last night by the Gironain the stadium Montjuïc Olympicdefeating by a landslide an entire Barcelona Soccer Clubcurrent LaLiga champion, placing himself as the sole leader of the championship, in fact, being the fourth best leader in history at this point in the tournament, already taking 7 points from Barça and 12 points! to Real Sociedad (5th), which marks the Europa League, means a very important moment in the history of the Catalan club, whom many already compare with the surprising English Leicester City, winner of the Premier League in 2016.
Girona attacks the champion to be the leader of the League
“It is evident that things have changed,” he said. Quique Cárcel, sports director and architect of this fabulous, victorious and winning Girona, on Radio Marca this morning. “And it has changed because it is a difficult moment to manage or, at the very least, one that goes beyond our initial speech. We started with a prudent, sensible, humble speech, coherent with our proposal but, now, this is beginning to change and why not dream. It is evident and we must not hide it that hearing the Champions League anthem in Montilivi is more than a dream, it is an incredible dream.”
Chip change
Cárcel acknowledged that when the team took the lead on matchday six, someone already told him the story of Leicester. “We thought about it, but we immediately put it out of our minds because there was and still is a lot of League time left. We are not built for something like this but, of course, it is inevitable that, when you see the team come back as they have come back from several results this year and, above all, when you see them finish last night’s game against all of Barça in the way they did, it is normal for someone to think that we can win the League. But, I insist, here we continue to think that this is too big a dream for us.”
Cárcel, who remembered the support he gave to Michel As soon as he lost, a long time ago, yes, a 1-3 match against Huesca (“we played wonderfully, very, very well, but we didn’t win, although I trusted a lot in his way of working and understanding football”), he is convinced of that “Xavi will take forward the Barça, Well, he has a great staff and knows what he wants to achieve; he Atlético He is still the same ‘covered’ guy as always, with excellent players although, yes, he has played some games far from his style and what can we say about the Real Madridwhich continues to win despite having many injuries, with a very physical squad and game.”
“When you see how the team plays, you see them overcome difficult games and finish like they did in Montjuïc, you have the right to dream”
“We, why not admit it, are living a beautiful, very exciting moment,” Cárcel continued to explain, “because rubbing shoulders with those teams from our modesty is something precious and, as Michel said last night, perhaps even exemplary for our League and the rest of the Spanish clubs that can think, why not, that with work everything comes. And, yes, I would say we are living a dream too big to be real. But, I repeat, the team’s game against Barça tells you that everything is true and very beautiful.”
The architect of this unimaginable Girona has recognized that playing in the Champions League next season “is beginning to be something credible, something that we could imagine and, therefore, I will not say that we should change our discourse, but we should begin to assume that it is possible, such and how the team is playing, how the players are responding and, above all, the players who come off the bench like Stuani, Portu, Solis, Valery or Arnauto name just five of them.”
Aleix García stays
Cárcel joked that Alex Garcia, who, before visiting Montjuïc, commented that he would love to play for Barça, would have changed his mind. “The truth is that at the end of the Montjuïc game I asked him if he still thought the same thing and, no, he told me that he was staying.” And, in that sense, Cárcel recalled that at the end of the last campaign they left Bueno, Castellanos, Riquelme y Romeo (“our key player, the player who made others better”), four of his best players and, yet, the team found a way to replace them and improve.
“All the pieces we have looked for have fit together wonderfully in Michel’s puzzle, who has known how to turn them into better footballers and, above all, build a team that even fights for possession with the big teams, which is very, very , difficult to achieve,” added the sports director of the new and brand new leader of LaLiga and the great revelation of European football.
