The Girona wants to play the promotion playoff. Reasons are giving for it and the fact is that the rojiblanco team, in terms of results, is going through not only its best moment of the season, but also of recent years. At the moment Francisco's team has four victories (Zaragoza, Oviedo, Tenerife and Logroñés) and on Monday against Sporting he will undoubtedly look for the fifth. Doing the plenary session at 15 would give him a very sweet prize because it would further pave the way for promotion. Right now he is sixth, tied at 61 points with the Asturians, fifth. Of course, adding five victories in a row is not easy and in Girona they know it. Such is the case, that to find a similar streak it is necessary to look back ten years ago. No 15 points out of a possible 15 have been sealed since the 2010-11 season, with Raül Agné on the bench.
The 2010-11 campaign, despite not reaching the playoff positions (at that time the rojiblanco club did not have such ambitious goals), there were moments of great joy and, precisely, one of them coincided with the five consecutive victories that were achieved . It was from matchday 23 to 27 and the Girona team beat Nàstic (2-1), Huesca (0-1), Alcorcón (3-1), Villarreal B (0-1) and Granada (2-0). From this streak there are two teams that now compete in the First Division (Huesca and Granada) and Girona seeks to reconnect with them in the highest category of Spanish football. The path that has currently been undertaken is idyllic because they have managed to tie 22 of the last 27 points, but it's time to keep on rowing. And more considering that Sporting is not a simple touchstone and last day they added a victory, against Lugo (1-0), which could have restored their morale.
This Thursday, Girona will enjoy festive day because in this way, Francisco wants his players to try to lower tension. The final stretch of the campaign is coming and the mental aspect will be crucial so as not to deviate from the path. The rojiblancos, in addition, face four last matches before teams that are not to be comparsa: after receiving Sporting, they will face Malaga, Alcorcón and Cartagena. In favor of Girona is that it depends on itself to play the playoff, although everything happens to win, win, win and win again. First play sporting and the statistics seems to be from local side because the last four visits by the Asturian bloc to Montilivi have resulted in two Girona victories and two draws.
