Girona recovers, for this Sunday against Cartagena, not only wardrobe background, but quality and a lot of goal. Michel breathes and smiles because Adrián Ortolá, Samu Saiz and Cristhian Stuani return to the team. The three have already completed their sanction matches and the rojiblanco coach will be able to include them on the summoned list. Samu Saiz and Stuani would do it without going through the bench because they aim for headlines. In addition, there may be another novelty because you can already see training with the group to Oscar Ureña. The end of the subsidiary, who is fully immersed in the dynamics of the first team, has overcome the injury that prevented him from participating in the last three league games and it also points to Cartagena.
The return, especially of Samu Saiz and Stuani, is great news and more for a Girona that will seek to make up for the defeat in the last round against Tenerife. The rojiblancos are aware that they need to score again so as not to see themselves again in the fight to avoid relegation and be able to cut points from the teams that occupy playoff positions. Currently, the distance with Valladolid, sixth, is seven points. But without any doubt, with Samu Saiz and Stuani the present and future are faced with greater joy. As for the midfielder, he returns after two sanctioned games, and is eager to give something to talk about on the pitch. His expulsion against Fuenlabrada is expected to be an anecdote in a season in which until now he had managed to take a step forward and be a decisive player. In addition, there is a lot of desire to see him in action with Álex Baena. They form a vertical pair capable of disarming rival defenses with their speed, quality and last pass.
But with whom the Girona fans smile the most is with Stuani. In the rojiblanco universe, the Uruguayan occupies a preferential space. It was low in Tenerife at the end of the cycle and this Sunday it will be back. And it will do it one hundred percent. The rest day has helped him to work calmly, without pressure and has focused on the prevention of injuries. It is vital in Michel’s scheme and, in addition, his scoring nose is once again noteworthy. He adds seven goals and this Sunday he returns to his garden in Montilivi, where he has scored six of his seven goals. The duel against Cartagena (4:00 p.m.) is expected to be a party because the club, too, has organized a Fan Zone starting at 1:00 p.m. with popular ‘botifarrada’.
