Girona’s victory in Sevilla reverberated across the state Monday night. After overcoming the Madrid (4-2) a Montilivi, Míchel’s made it big again at the Pizjuán with a triumph that guarantees them permanence and opens the door for them to fight to be able to enter Europe. The goal of aspiring to seventh position, which could gain access to the Conference League, can be extremely exciting for the fans and, logically, for the players, but not so much from the club. Michel already made it clear on Monday itself that Europe “is not the goal” and this morning the sports director, quique jail has gone even further in an interview with RAC1. “We are professionals, we want to be as high as possible and we will fight to achieve it. Thinking about the future, we are not a club ready yet to play on Thursday and Sunday,” he said. The top sports official added that qualifying for Europe “would not be news that would excite him”. Despite these reluctance, Cárcel was not closed at all. “There are six days left and we are closer than we thought. We will fight because it would be to make history and we want to continue taking steps forward. And, if it comes, we will have to take the step of preparing and doing it well”, he added.
Apart from talking about the team’s chances of fighting for a place in the European competition, Cárcel also touched on the subject of the Míchel’s renewal. The club and the coach have been talking for months to extend the bond of the Madrid player for two seasons beyond the year of the contract he still has. In other words, the idea is for Míchel to continue in Montilivi until 2026. “We want to extend his contract for two more years. I would like to do it more, but it is not easy», he said. Cárcel explained that it is “difficult” to find “people who get involved in projects” and Míchel has done it. “He is a person of his word, with values and who is happy here. The owners feel that the coach suits the goals and football likeness of the group. It is one of the keys to this story, especially because of how the team plays and its idea of football”, he said.
