"I was really embarrassed, to be honest; but luckily, I wasn't the only one. It happened to all of us. We were there, standing in a room, dressed in Girona's training gear, and an instructor was forcing us to do really strange movements. We looked at each other, completely confused. I'd never been shocked before." The speaker is Jose Martínez. He remembers that unexpected session proposed by Javier Salamero, the coach and sporting director, depending on the season. To imagine what the players felt at that moment, it's necessary to understand the context. In 2012, the team was second to last in the Second Division, six points from safety after winning only four out of 27 matches; and the board had already sacked two coaches, Raül Agné and Josu Uribe. But instead of going to Montilivi every day, Salamero, called in as an emergency replacement, thought it would be better not to go. "It's shocking to have your routine disrupted like that. Because when everything's going wrong, the first thing they usually tell you is that you have to train more. Well, on Thursdays or Fridays we did other things. And it was a success, because we'd laugh our heads off and end up closer than when we started the day, and because we hadn't even started the day badly. This formula doesn't exist. In fact, the first thing we did was beat Deportivo, who were the runaway league leaders and would end up getting promoted." Such is football; that Girona team under Salamero was a success: in 12 matches, they racked up 7 wins, 4 draws, and 1 loss. Players like Jose, Migue, Dorca, Coro, Jandro, and David García, who didn't know how to pose for the Zumba instructor, became unstoppable on the pitch.
