If football is a state of mind, there is no team in the Second Division, except Espanyol, that can currently overshadow the Girona. The rojiblancos showed tremendous ambition against him Oviedo (0-1) and not even the seven casualties they dragged made a dent in them. They are riding the good wave, the excellent results arrive regularly and they have fully immersed themselves in the fight for the playoff. Six days before the end of the League, Girona depends on itself to be in the promotion promotion because he sees the fifth classified, Sporting, a team that visits him in three days, only two points above. Rayo is currently closer, sixth, since it is only one point, but Madrid have one game less: they play this Monday against Albacete.
The adjectives to define the work of Francisco at the command of the Girona first team are over, and it is that not only has he given a competitive gene to the rojiblanco block, but he has managed to obtain the best level of the entire squad. The group arrives in a sweet moment at the end of the course and controlling the euphoria is being an impossible mission. Girona has only reaped one defeat (against Rayo) in the last eight games (two draws and five victories) and adding 17 of the last 24 points has brought him an exciting closer to the promotion playoff. He still has ground to cover, but on matchday 34, Sporting, their direct rival, had seven points ahead of them and now, two later, they are only separated by two. The change of system, has opted for the 3-5-2, has made Girona fly and, in addition, on a defensive level, the balance has returned: It has been two days in a row with a clean sheet. The implication is maximum and there is no doubt in the rojiblanco dressing room that the objective of the course can be achieved. “We are all very proud of the match against Oviedo, which was very complete. We have not achieved anything, but we are prepared for the next six finals that we have left, without skipping the next one that is against Tenerife”Commented a Francisco who never tires of praising the good work, dedication and passion of his players.
Girona's dynamics are unbeatable, but the rojiblancos are still out of the playoff spots. Francisco, whenever possible, tries to reduce the euphoria and is that “looking further would be wrong. We know where we come from and the process that has brought us here, “said the coach. It is time to go step by step and this Saturday they will host Tenerife in Montilivi. A good litmus test to continue showing the hunger for the playoff. What's more, if they win, Girona would sleep in the top six. Something that this League has only done in five days and the last was in the 13.
