Twelve days after relegation to the Second Division, Girona has broken the cold and distant silence in which it had settled. It has done so without subterfuge, with most of the top officials facing the music. Such an act is not remembered at Montilivi. The president, Delfí Geli; the chairman of the board of directors and owner of 16% of the club's shareholding, Pere Guardiola; the general director, Ignasi Mas-Bagà; and the sporting director, Quique Cárcel, have conveyed an image of unity and defense of a project that will remain strong and stable despite the setback.

The City Football Group, Pere Guardiola, and Marcelo Claure, who rule Girona, have changed the club's history. And they've changed it for the better. They've made football a topic of conversation and have demonstrated their seriousness because, in bad times, they not only didn't abandon ship like rats do, but they actually doubled their bets, making capital increases that kept the ball rolling. When you take the full picture, this is an important chapter that can't be ignored, because if Girona returned to the First Division after relegation and won the lottery with the Champions League year, it's thanks to events like those.
