The Catalan team is experiencing a spectacular moment and is leading the standings after seven days; ‘Montilíder’ prepares to receive Madrid.
Almost two years ago, on October 16, 2021, Girona lost 1-3 to Huesca on matchday ten of the Smartbank League and fell even further in the rankings. With eight points in ten games, they fell into relegation positions to Second B, the third division of Spanish football, and public opinion questioned the man sitting on the Catalan bench. That man was Míchel, who had arrived at the Montilivi club before the start of the 2021-2022 season on a one-year contract with the option of a further year.
Today, almost 24 months later, the same man’s team is the sensation of the First Division because it plays well, because it is easy on the eyes (the attacking proposal is appreciated) and above all: it scores more points than anyone else after the first class. seven days of the domestic championship.
Girona has had a dream start to the season, with half of Europe talking about the surprising leaders of the Spanish league. They have played seven matches and only the first, played at the home of Real Sociedad (‘Champions team’ in this season), they did not win.
‘Montilíder’, as some have now baptized the stadium from the first place in LaLiga EA Sports, is preparing to host an entire Real Madrid team next Saturday. And he does it with sky-high expectations, hoping that the dream won’t end.
How can you understand the present of a club that had never played a First Division match until mid-2017?
