He Girona has presented this Wednesday the first signing of the 2020-2021 season, the left-back Enric Franquesa, that arrives as a loan from the Villarreal and that he has ensured that he does so with “a very great illusion and the predisposition to leave everything on the grass”.
“One of the reasons why I chose Girona is because it makes me especially excited and I am proud to be able to play for a Catalan team,” he said. Franquesa, which also highlighted the project that the club has. “There is still a long time to market and we will see how the squad adjusts, but it is a big club and it has the obligation to have a good season and fight for ambitious goals,” said the Barça youth squad, who did not hide when it came to admitting that “it would be fortunate to be able to have the base from last season, but all of us who arrive new must take a step forward.”
Enric Franquesa burst into the Mirandés last season, where he managed to go far in the Copa del Rey and a team with which he could dream, at times, of playing the playoff to the First Division. “I've been lucky enough to grow up at Barça and I like to be offensive, have the ball and take risks whenever I can,” said the Catalan, who believes that in a club like him Girona you can give “your best version.”
As confirmed by the footballer himself, Girona's interest was even prior to knowing if it would be in First or Second Division, for which he regretted the non-promotion. “I watched that game with the family and with enthusiasm, but it was not possible to give what I expected. Quique had already transmitted interest and confidence in me and it is true that I would have liked to be in First.
