Girona went to the Sánchez Pizjuán on Sunday with the intention of securing their second consecutive victory. After beating Osasuna in the middle of the week, Míchel's men were looking to continue their run of form against Sevilla. Míchel decided to keep the core of his starting eleven, trusting in the block that has given him good results in recent games.
Míchel 's team won 2-0 at Sevilla with a goal from Iván Martín and another from Abel Ruiz. Girona, despite their victory, were unable to play their usual game and were seen to be somewhat slower in their movement of the ball. This situation did not go unnoticed by Míchel, who pointed out the need to adjust some physical and tactical aspects for the next few games.
Michel finds Savinho's replacement at Girona
In his post-match statements, Míchel stressed that several of his players were not at their best physical level. This lack of freshness was noticeable at certain times during the match. For the coach, this detail was an aspect that could be improved despite their resounding victory against García Pimienta's team.
Savinho 's definitive absence is also being felt in the team's dynamic this season. Girona struggled to create constant danger and maintain the high tempo that characterises their style of play. The lack of depth and speed in the final third of the pitch meant that, despite the victory, the team did not perform as Míchel would have liked.
However, despite the difficulties, Míchel is clear that he has made the right choice with one of the signings of the summer. Bryan Gil had an extraordinary game, making Savinho's figure fall into oblivion.
Bryan Gil, the new Savinho
Bryan Gil returned to his home, the Sánchez Pizjuán, as part of Girona's starting eleven. The Sevilla youth player helped the team win the match with a formidable performance. With his dribbling and quality, the youngster trained in Seville received standing ovations from the Sánchez-Pizjuán after the match.
Bryan Gil's return to his old stadium was remarkable and after the match the young man from Cádiz thanked the Sevilla fans for their applause on social media. Míchel is confident that with some tactical adjustments, Girona will maintain their spark in the next matches. The coach is clear that these details are essential to stay in the fight for the top positions in the table.
