Girona wants to say goodbye with a victory against a great Atlético
Girona’s coach, Míchel Sánchez, has emphasized the importance of finishing the season with a home victory against Atlético de Madrid. After securing their stay in LaLiga, the Catalan team seeks to bring joy to their fans and get closer to tenth place in the table.
Míchel acknowledged the toughness of the season and the need to disconnect, but emphasized that the match against Atlético is crucial as a starting point for next year. ‘We want to win for our fans and to be as close as possible to tenth position.
It will be a difficult match, but we play at home and we want to end with a victory,’ said the coach. Míchel described Atlético as a ‘very top’ opponent and underlined the importance of giving their best in every match.
The Girona coach admitted that this year he has not found a way for the players to be more connected and that he must also improve his way of relating to the players in the ‘most critical and doubtful’ moments.
The Madrid coach also reiterated his ‘confidence’ in sporting director Quique Cárcel, and stressed that he feels he is in the place where he wants to be. The coach also made self-criticism about his management, mentioning a possible lack of confidence towards the players in critical moments. Looking ahead, Míchel anticipated an important preseason to consolidate the team’s game plan.
