The management of Girona hits rock bottom in Cordoba

GironaTwo years ago, Girona was awaiting the Champions League draw. It looked in the mirror and saw itself as attractive. Everyone was showering it with compliments. Now, none of that exists. The team is in the Second Division and is doing what it can, mistreated as it is by a sporting management that conditions everything. Departures remain stuck and, just as happened last year, August, in terms of points, is heading for the trash. In Cordoba, they suffered their first defeat of the season (2-1), and they still haven't won. If before they were whistled at as a sign of admiration, now they are whistled at as a sign of disagreement.

There is no need to spend much time explaining the new thrashing, because Córdova beat Girona in everything. Victor and Bri left the match quite settled before halftime, and a thrashing could have happened in the second half, but the locals let up and an action by Asprilla in the final stretch kept the chances of scoring alive. If with inaction in the offices the team has brushed against invincibility, what would have happened if it had been planned better?

Because among the Girona players who played and who will leave, those who for games have been giving a much lower level than they are supposed to, those who understand nothing of what is happening, those who do not want to understand it and those who refuse to compete, it is quite logical that Quique Álvarez's team is finding the start of the championship difficult. What is not so logical is that the main people responsible are doing nothing to prevent it.

The panorama that the new coach has found, especially at the back, is devastating: almost every time the opponent steps into the area, it's a goal, and Gazzaniga's figure gets smaller; Arnau and Àlex Moreno, the full-backs, will be out soon and are playing because there is no one else; of the first team centre-backs there is only one fit, and luckily a talent has appeared from the youth team. Up front, Pyshchur, signed as a first team striker, in the words of Míchel Sánchez last season, has not delivered at all this summer and has not been included in any squad; Dawda, only 17 professional football starts, and Abel Ruiz, who scored a total of zero goals last season, have had to participate. And one of those who have stood out the most, Minsu, also seems to be leaving.

Furthermore, the fire with the Ukrainians. The club has an open war with Tsygankov that still has more chapters to live. In fact, his agent has called a press conference for Monday to give the player's version, who the club opened disciplinary proceedings against for refusing to play against Leganés. In Córdova, of course, he did not travel. As for Vanat, about whom rumors also emerged of him not wanting to play, the entity was quick to announce that it was a misunderstanding. But at Nuevo Arcángel, the striker also did not play. If it was just a misunderstanding, it is lasting too long. Who saw him and who sees him now, Girona.
