“To have options to avoid the play-out and save us directly, we only need to win. There is no more turning of the page». That’s how clear Ramon Benito is, the coach of Garatge Plana Girona before receiving the Voltregà tomorrow evening (20:00) in a game he defines as “a final”. With 20 points, Girona is eleventh while Voltregà is tenth with 22. A duel, therefore, almost life or death in the fight for salvation in which the Girona, in case of victory, would leave the play-out zone and they would make the people of Barcelona fall. “It won’t be decisive because there will be three games left and, if the case comes, also the play-out, but we do see it as a first final”, explains Benito who remembers that “a few days ago” they did not see this “real possibility” so clearly to escape from danger.
Benito does not shy away from the pressure or the responsibility his team has in a game like today’s. Now, he asks his men to stay true to their game. “We have to play and compete as always. We cannot lose our essence, as we did against Vilafranca», he remembers. That draw against Cuer (3-3) penalized the aspirations of the Girona team to leave eleventh place. “Maybe because of the desire or the tension we didn’t end up being the team we are”, he admits. Benito has all the staff available. Borja Ramon’s inspiration can be one of the keys to the game. “Everyone will be needed. He gives us a plus face goal and we hope he keeps it”, he emphasizes.
