Girona is aground. The numbers of the rojiblanco team are beginning to be worrying and, after nine league games, the balance is only two victories, two draws and five defeats. He occupies relegation positions and, despite the fact that Michel has the confidence of the board and the staff, he has to react as soon as possible. But there is more and that is the lack of punch is alarming: they have only scored six goals in favor.
Michel has a lot of work to do and that is all five losses have come in the last seven games. A dangerous and damaging dynamic that only puts more pressure on a template that has a clear theory, Juanpe has already warned that the cure for all ills is victories, but that he suspends in practice. In addition, the ability to react is something that this Girona does not have. The numbers are clear and that is whenever the rival has marked them, they have beaten them. It happened against Ponferradina (2-1), Sporting (1-2), Málaga (2-0), Almería (1-2) and Lugo (1-0). Leaving a clean sheet is capital in the Second Division and more so for this rojiblanco team in which the punch is almost non-existent. The creation of offensive play is one of the crusades of the coaching staff and where it is trying to influence.
Getting up after two lost consecutive promotion playoff finals is costing this group from Girona and every goal received this season is a well-aimed shot to the waterline. To win they have to get ahead on the scoreboard, as it happened against Amorebieta (2-0) and Valladolid (1-0) given that if the opponent is the one ahead on the scoreboard, coming back is an impossible mission. It seems that it is early to fall into drama because, in addition, the permanent positions are only a point away. The problem is that Girona’s objective is to see themselves occupying playoff positions and these are six points away. This Saturday, the Girona team returns to Montilivi and receives Huesca, a recently released player who is not going through his best moment either. Michel has it marked in red, not only because he has a past in the Huesca team but because another defeat would leave him touched.
