GIRONA They say that before you die you must do three things: plant a tree, write a book and have a child. For Artem Dovbyk, no. Dovbyk only thinks about scoring goals. While others meet these goals, the Ukrainian forward punches nets. In the victory against Sevilla (5-1) he made one hat trick in six minutes, a fact that not only allowed Girona to maintain the lead in the League with a point advantage over Madrid (with a game to spare, of course), but also made it possible for the Girona to overcome their points record in First Division. And that there are seventeen days left.
It’s already fourteen goals for the new little one in the category, tied with Bellingham. Dovbyk did not change when Isaac advanced Sevilla, in a bad white-and-red start. He took the ball and went to work. In the first one he picked up, head on, he beat Dmitrovic. In the second he played, he finished first. And in the third, he simply did what he felt like doing. The creature, when played like this, is unstoppable. That is why it is the most expensive signing in the history of Girona, because it is very good.
Míchel’s new comeback, which surprised Portu as the second striker, originated between the thirteenth and nineteenth minute of the first half. Sergio Ramos, especially whistled, expert at getting out of adverse situations, did not know how to get into it. In the third goal, the most beastly individual action of recent times in Montilivi, Dovbyk turned it into a toy. After a feint and a change of pace, when the defender barely realized what was happening, Montilivi was already celebrating.
What a guarantee, that of this Girona, who don’t even remember that Eric Garcia, David López and Aleix Garcia didn’t play and that one of the two available centre-backs, Juanpe, was injured at half-time. As in the Cup, Antal came out, the Hungarian dwarf of the subsidiary. And again, he delivered with flying colours. Nobody will be aware of Míchel’s work until many decades from now.
A special role also for the figure of Savinho, relevant in three goals. The Brazilian teaches a new trick from his repertoire every week. With Sevilla, his imbalance was essential to overcome Nianzou, a new marker that cannot stop him. Almost none of the men who have marked him have escaped. It’s lucky that he wears white-and-red.
And Portu, always from silence and commitment. The Murcian, who recently tattooed the date of Girona’s first promotion to Primera, where he was a prominent witness, and the coordinates of Montilivi, added another assist and was about to make the fourth, with a shot at to cross Previously, of course, Dovbyk had given away a fantasy cut with the spur that left the audience standing, applauding.
Mallorca awaits Wednesday
After the offensive recital of a team that chained together seventeen games without losing counting all the competitions, it was necessary to think with the head and not to get hurt, which awaits Mallorca on Wednesday in the quarter-finals with a single game, in Son Moix. But this Girona, when it relaxes, remains far superior to the rest. Let’s not forget that we are talking about the leader of the League, and that means that the level is very high.
In the middle of the festival, where every attack predicts a storm, Yangel made a post and Tsygankov completely closed the match, with the fourth goal, with the assistance, once again, of Savinho, of course. Stuani would still have time to make the fifth. Girona continues to fly in the League and the Cup: it is more alive than ever in both competitions. And it has Dovbyk.
