Girona is currently a vulnerable team that is barely knowing how to take advantage of the resources it has. His players are not performing at the expected level and they have a hard time reacting to the first blow. The season is being an emotional roller coaster for people from Girona and receiving a goal is almost a sentence. They have been unable to come back one match all season and of the 14 times they have been behind on the scoreboard, the highest loot obtained has been three draws. The rest of duels, 11, lost.
Pep Lluís Martí has always tried anxiously to influence the mental aspect, but players have a hard time getting paid after receiving a goal. Seeing yourself behind on the scoreboard seems like an insurmountable slab and this is condemning them to suffer and fear being left out of the playoff positions. Ascending directly is a utopia and everything must be trusted to be among the top six to compete for the promotion. But they must improve their numbers because with the current dynamics it would not reach them. They accumulate five games without winning (four draws and one defeat) and, against Elche, despite having numerous chances to draw, they continued to demonstrate that turning a marker is an impossible mission. This season they have 11 defeats and in only two they managed to score a goal, although sterile, after the rival put them ahead: Almería (3-1) and Oviedo (4-2). In the other nine duels, he stayed at zero.
The duel on Wednesday is crucial for Girona because they need to regain positive feelings. And receives a Numancia looking down. Of course, in the first round, the Sorians beat the people of Girona 2-0 thanks to goals from Higinio and Guillermo, with a penalty. Precisely that defeat was the first that Martí tasted as Girona's coach after having added four wins and two draws in his first six days.
