Girona’s resilience, a factor that explains everything

by time news

If for something this one is characterized Girona, is because of its level of resilience. Míchel Sánchez’s team can boast of a fact that perfectly exemplifies its fighting nature: it is the team of First Division who scores more points after losing games. In total, the white-and-reds have obtained, thanks to their perseverance and faith – in addition to good football – 13 points that taste like glory. In this particular classification they are followed by the Real Village and the Madridwho have added 11 and 10 points respectively.

It all started at Mallorca, when Míchel’s team woke up in time to scratch a saving draw. In fact, the tie is the common denominator of the points scored by Girona. Distributed in nine games, the Girona players have accumulated seven draws and two victories after having been with an adverse provisional score. A quality that is good to have when things don’t go as they wish.

In matchday 4, therefore, Samu Saiz gave Girona the first point of personality in the trip to Mallorca. The local team, that afternoon, took the lead in the 87th minute thanks to raíllo, who took advantage of a mess of the big ones in the area. When all seemed lost, however, a genius of Samu caused Manu Vallejo to be awarded a penalty which the Madrid midfielder, today in Turkeytransformed in 92′.

Let’s continue with the draws and move on to Montilivi, who experienced two in a row: against Cadiz and Osasuna. In the first, Stuani, with a penalty goal in the twelfth minute of stoppage time (now that’s what the games have, which never end) neutralized the target ofAlex Fernandez; against Navarrese it was David López who equalized the goal of Kike Barja.

The afternoon at the Bernabéu

Nothing comparable to the puntás al Santiago Bernabeu, of couse. Again, the Uruguayan Stuani converted a penalty in the final stretch that gave Girona immense joy. There are still three to go, ties. Two were against the same opponent, precisely, the last against which Míchel’s men have faced in the League: Rayo Vallecano. In Montilivi, in the restart of the championship after the stoppage for the World Cup in Qatar, the Madrid side took the lead not once, but twice thanks to Camel i Isi. Two successful penalties by Taty Castellanos and Samu Saiz left things as they were before the opening whistle. A Vallecasa week ago, the same Isi i Trejo they feared the worst; but now Girona has the resource of the Ukrainian Tsygankov, who saved a point with a double. The match that completes the collection of matches is the derby at RCDE Stadium. Girona started winning, yes, but theEspanyol turned the result around and made it 2-1 in the final minutes. Yangel Herrera appeared to silence the stadium.

Complete comebacks

So many draws, however, had to be complemented by something more satisfying: comebacks. The people of Girona have experienced two, a Elx and Montilivi against Sevilla. Against the former team of machinthe goals of Castellanos and Iván Martín extinguished the effect caused by the goal of Lirola; in front of the Andalusians Stuani and Yangel Herrera fought the of Nianzou. May this attitude never fail.
