Girona will begin its third competition this season this Wednesday, a Copa del Rey that they face at a delicate moment due to the numerous casualties. The rival, as happens in the first rounds, will be a humble club, in this case CD Extremadura of the Tercera RFEF. “You can’t think if the opponent is more or less difficult. Humility and thinking about improvement,” Míchel warned.
“If you are not focused on the Cup, it will be a problem. A player must always do his best on the field,” added the Girona coach, who as a precaution has ruled out Stuani and Yangel Herrera for the match at the Francisco de la Heras Stadium in Badajoz because “they do not arrive well.” Instead, the Madrid native recovers Bryan Gil.

“It is a very important match, a qualification for the next round. The best recovery for a team is to win a game and be in another competition to make history. The most important thing is to win and we’ll see on Saturday,” said Míchel, who described the first single-match rounds as “complicated,” although his hope is to “have a good competition and try to reach the final.”
In no case did the man from Vallecas advocate “not throwing away the competition” due to the delicate situation of the team, with almost no personnel to make rotations. “We have to be self-critical with the injuries, but now it’s time to play. I have looked at my training sessions, the minutes of each player, what we can do better… We had a very complicated preseason, with few first team players for the national teams,” he recalled.
Far from making excuses, Míchel reflected on a situation that he defines as a “learning”. I am in a moment of control. Not worried at all,” concluded the coach of a Girona team that last season lost in the quarterfinals of the Cup against Mallorca, ultimately the finalist of the tournament.
