The Girona from Michel chained their fifth consecutive victory in the Smartbank League on Friday and the results of their direct rivals have meant that, once again, the Catalans close the gap with the second-placed team and are six points away from direct promotion.
It was practically and unthinkable a little over a month ago that Girona had real options to dream of direct promotion, but the Catalan team has risen to a spectacular dynamic that has led them to add five consecutive wins, something they had not achieved in all season and that has led him to dream of doing it.
Despite the fact that it is still difficult, once the thirty-fourth day is over, and with eight games still to be played, the people from Girona have placed themselves six points away from direct promotion, on a day in which only Girona and Valladolid, who have regained second place, they were able to win from among the six that started the weekend in the playoff zone.
The pressure mounts as the weeks progress and the end draws near. Girona is the best team in the league for the last month and a half and in the last five days Oviedo is the one who has added the most points with 10. A clear example of this is the points that Girona has cut from all the teams in the top in this streak of five consecutive wins. Eibar, who has been the leader for many days, has cut 7 points. To Valladolid, which has regained second place, a total of six, to which less than those above.
Quite the contrary, with Rubí’s Almería, who have entered into a difficult dynamic of results and to whom Girona has cut ten points. This with the teams that have the Girona ahead, but the data is even more exaggerated with Tenerife and Ponferradina, who before this streak were above Míchel’s, but to whom the team has taken eleven and twelve points respectively.
