Cadiz-Girona de Liga: Time.news, goals and result

GIRONAStarting from the basis that the most logical thing when two teams face each other and only one competes is that the latter is usually the one to win, Cadiz inflicted a very painful defeat on Girona (2-0). Not only because of the points that were at stake, that too, but because of the facilities that Míchel’s team, totally absent from Nuevo Mirandilla in the worst game of the season, gave. With unseemly fragility, he trashed ninety minutes of chasing shadows. There are few days when it can be said that there is no excuse in the red-and-white defeats. This is one of them.

As the coach from Girona would see it from the stands in his last sanctioned match, who made three changes at half-time. Andalucía is not doing well for Girona, because out of all the Liga at home, it is always there that concedes more than one goal in the first half. It happened to him in Almeria, where he received three goals. Against Cadiz there were two, which completely erased the options he had to increase the advantage with respect to relegation. Before the match, the margin was five points, precisely with respect to the Cadiz. After the match and when there is still almost the whole day to complete, they are four over Valencia, who have fallen without playing on the red line.

Nor did Girona play, which with the exception of a first chance by Bernardo that was well deflected by Conan and a possible aggression from Fali to Castellanos that the VAR stated was not in any way (at this point in the film, neither miracles are expected), was completely unknown. Míchel’s made so many mistakes that they lost count. The passivity was alarming, especially because it was very noticeable that for Cadiz it was a final and that Girona’s victories against Sevilla and Valencia had placed them on a cushion that, without intending to, made them lose intensity .

The defense, noted

Or maybe it was a horrible night and that’s enough, which is why he also has the right to be able to afford them. A dark night in which not even the wind can be used as an excuse, even though in every circulation of the ball it behaved as if the footballers were throwing coins into the air. The conditions were the same for all and Cadiz responded well, Girona did not. In the first local attack, Arnau, lukewarm covering Brian’s interning, let him center so that Escalante, in a shot that touched Borja, ended up sending the ball into the back of the net. A night that was absolutely terrible when Bongonda, in a drive in which Girona’s defense was even more pointed, assisted Sergi Guardiola, who beat Gazzaniga, who was still lucky that minutes earlier he had put a great hand on a shot Iza

Míchel’s changes didn’t bring anything either, not because they weren’t good, but because there was nothing left to do. There are days when you look in the mirror and, without quite knowing why, something tells you that maybe it would be better to stay home. Callens made his debut, Riquelme and Joel Roca came out, and also Tsygankov, but the script was not modified one bit. Cadiz, far superior, did not let Girona get into the game. And Girona did not show much desire to enter it.
