Son Moix was the scene, a little over a month ago, of Girona’s farewell to the Cup against the Mallorca. A painful elimination for 3-2 que left the team without some historic semi-finals that would have put them one hundred and eighty minutes away from fighting for a title. It was said that that defeat would be good to focus on the League and not wear down so much a squad too short to fight in two competitions. Maybe yes. Or not What is certain is that a Michel and the players did not like being left out of the semi-finals at all. Five weeks later, Girona returns to Son Moix to face a Mallorca side that, no matter where you look, has sneaked into the grand final of the Cup. Míchel’s people arrive there without any surprise on their faces and confirmed as hopefuls to get a ticket for the Champions League. To do so, the first step is to win today in Palma in a match that will have a certain spirit of revenge on the part of a Girona team that is confident of taking advantage of the local physical and euphoric wear and tear to fish in the festive atmosphere that has set in on the island since Tuesday night. However, just as it happened in the Cup, Míchel shows up for the appointment with the infirmary full after a week in which he has, once again, sense David Lopez i Yangel Herrera. Tots two are low for today and are added to Toni VillaRoca i artero. On the contrary, the technician brings back Daley Blind.
The return of David López against the Ray it seemed blessed water for a Girona that had longed for its physical ability in duels. Without Sant Cugat, Míchel will have to choose between Juanpe o Blind to accompany Eric Garcia in the axis of the defense. The bands, in principle, will be for Couto i Miguel Gutierrez. There are more doubts about who will be Yangel Herrera’s replacement. Aleix Garcia has a guaranteed place and his partner will be Ivan Martin -substitute against Rayo- or Solis. If it is the Basque, it would leave a hole in the midfield where they would opt for it Portu and even Pablo Torre. Bands have are owned by Tsygankov i Savinho, who is confident of opening the first call with the absolute selection of Brazil with a good performance. If there is no surprise, Dovbyk will be the starting striker.
Meanwhile, Mallorca is confident of not paying for the wear and tear of the ninety minutes of the match and thirty more of extra time in Tuesday’s semifinals against Real Sociedad. Javier Aguirre could do some rotation, especially in midfield with the entry of Mask and Darder. The Mexican coach is out due to an injury to the ex-Girona player Pablo Maffeo and by penalty of the defense Van der Heyden.
A win today would be a giant step for the aspirations of the Girona side and, at the same time, would add a lot of pressure to their direct rivals to enter the Champions League places. Surely the fans will be very much waiting to see what happens in the game after, in the evening, a Bilbao between theAthleticfifth, and the Barçathird.
