The news is doing a disservice to the reality of Girona, a team elevated last season, far above its possibilities, which this season has returned to earth with a forced landing, plagued by injuries and with reproaches from the fans for the bad results. “We are a club that should be happy and content,” said the club’s sports director, Quique Cárcel, who regretted “the tension” of the fans.
The Girona parish has directed punctual whistles to Míchel’s pupils and a programmed scarf for the Champions League prices. “The club was able to go to Barcelona to play in the Champions League, and I was the first to say no, that we wanted to play with our people. But this also means that there are fewer entries and the club logically must take advantage of the moment,” the sports manager defended before the media at an event to take stock of the start of the season.
“I greatly respect everyone’s opinion, but I think we must reset and evaluate what we are experiencing. Everything goes very fast. I have the feeling that there is tension, that people are not happy. I don’t know why. I didn’t expect things that have happened and don’t help. I was shocked that they whistled at the team. The team continues to play good football and has fun in Montilivi. There have been certain moments, but the whistles don’t help,” added a Cárcel who advocated giving “confidence” to the players at a delicate moment.
Many things happen in the process. Stress has played a role. “We must value very positively that we have 18 points in the League.”
The architect of the great Girona last season, along with Míchel, acknowledged that “obviously all the numbers show a decline.” Of the 31 points in the League achieved the previous season at this point, now the team has only added 18. And of the 31 goals, it has currently only scored 17 goals. “There were a lot of games coming up, but until you’re in the day-to-day life, until you see that the coach can’t train because of travel and injuries, you don’t realize it. Many things happen in the process. Stress has played a role. We must value very positively that we have 18 points in the League,” he acknowledged.

Despite everything, Cárcel gives the team a “notable” rating, for its “ability to excel, to work, which is the most important thing,” and called the work of the coaching staff “exceptional.” “This is a learning experience for me and my team to be more prepared if we are lucky enough to experience this situation again,” the sports director commented on his duties, “very happy,” “amazing with this moment,” but “logically having a great time.” wrong” with negative results.
Cárcel did not find a concrete explanation for so many injuries, but pointed to the short time to adapt to the team after a summer with the Euro Cup, Games and Copa América. He also pointed out as a “variable” to take into account the change in location of the training grounds, from La Vinya last year to the Sports City, an aspect that Míchel already pointed out, although he described the grass of the new venue as “spectacular”. .
As long as there is a presumption of innocence we will respect that situation (with Ferran Ruiz). If that changes, we will make the relevant decisions.”
“We are creating a team for the future, I knew it. Last year was magical and exclusive and this year we have made some investments that I knew would not explode in the first minute,” he explained about the new signings, in addition to conveying “tranquility” with Abel Ruiz and Miovski, those chosen to replace the top scorer. Dovbyk. He also praised the emergence of the youth squad Selvi, with “a lot of personality, and ruled out, for now, going to the winter market, since “perhaps in a month the coach will have everyone and will have problems making an eleven.”
Cárcel tried to avoid controversy with Ferran Ruiz, a youth player who debuted against Getafe and who is immersed in a judicial process for the alleged publication of a sex video during his time at Real Madrid. The Barcelonan indicated that “he is no one to talk about this issue” and that the club “is not dedicated to judging anyone”, only “their football qualities are valued”. “As long as there is a presumption of innocence we will respect that situation. If that changes, we will make the pertinent decisions,” he concluded about the footballer’s situation, which has generated great rejection among the Girona fans.
