Girona in seven points

1- Recreation system and potential eleven

Fourteenth day of the League and Actual Madrid visits Montilivi. Girona is starting to indicate its head slightly after a really dangerous begin through which Míchel was very controversial. They’re nonetheless in relegation positions, however they’ve deserted the pink lantern through which they have been put in for a number of days. The reinforcements have been settling in and a few are in a superb second. A crew that appears to be going up and can need to present it in opposition to the whites.

The checklist of casualties is in depth, with David López, Van de Beek, Portu, Artero, Juan Carlos and Krapyvtsov. Moreover, Blind and Lemar are doubts till the final minute. Míchel has put apart his well-known system with three centre-backs and now makes use of extra of a 1-4-3-3. A possible eleven in opposition to Actual Madrid could be the one shaped by Gazzaniga; Rincón, Reis, Arnau, Alex Moreno; Witsel, Martin, Ounahi; Bryan Gil, Tsygankov and Vanat.

2- Stress

Relying on the rival and the state of affairs, the Madrid coach makes use of two stress methods. At dwelling they push on the high with nice enthusiasm and vitality. To do that, he throws the midfielders very excessive up, who together with the striker and the vast gamers are half a dozen footballers who train the press zone in a really intense and sometimes efficient manner. At dwelling they’re considerably extra cautious and like to attend for his or her rival to retreat, collectively and with very compact strains. Subsequently, it’s to be anticipated that coach Míchel decides to place excessive stress on Montilivi, which has introduced him so many advantages in previous seasons.

Then, at sure occasions, he’ll plant a medium-low block if Actual Madrid presses and pushes them into their subject. Within the center they accumulate studying, stealing with Witsel and good footing and talent with Iván Martín and Ounahi. The protection performs ahead and isn’t afraid to depart meters behind it with the danger that this entails in opposition to quick gamers.

3- Ball exit

It’s a part that Míchel emphasizes as a result of he likes a neat and clear begin from behind, however he’s additionally conscious that within the First Division and in opposition to such highly effective groups a loss can value you a objective. Take the danger whatever the outcomes. One of many premises is to not lose balls within the neighborhood of their space, as a result of that entails the choice of receiving possibilities very simply and with the crew stretched and out of place when enjoying with 4 defenders, the 2 full-backs fairly open and near the lime. From under, they search to attach with the midfielders, who’ve a notable quick contact, good lengthy ball motion and handle to effectively leap the rival strains of stress.

With out Blind and David López, they go down utterly in the beginning and this process now falls to the Brazilian Reis. In any case, if they’re in a rush, there aren’t any issues in looking out straight and agilely for Vanat from above, so that he’s the individual accountable for preventing with the middle backs and bringing down the balls.

4- Defensive side

The defensive side has been diminished and is the good Achilles heel of the Catalan crew. They’re the crew with essentially the most objectives within the championship with 25 objectives conceded. Tim’s blanket, which they at all times generate on the high with ease, prices them areas behind. The losses in protection, the readaptation there for Arnau and the irregularity proven by Reis have taken their toll. Additionally the edges, fairly offensive. They haven’t proven themselves to be a defensively strong, robust, agency and sturdy crew to this point and, if they don’t obtain this, they are going to be clear candidates for relegation.

Within the center, Míchel has tried to fortify the world with Solís and Witsel, and it’s the Belgian who appears to have taken the place. They’ve issues closing and are usually not as supportive as in previous seasons. If Actual Madrid has the day, they’ll do harm each on the edges and within the central lane. Above, the crew has additionally misplaced centimeters in comparison with different campaigns.

5- Offensive energy

They’ve been weakening on the offensive aspect with departures in current summers, though in current weeks they’re enhancing in effectiveness with an more and more consolidated trident. The Catalans have expert and gifted gamers up entrance, who are typically extra showy than efficient. Girona practices a method of nice rhythm and pace. On the wing, they’ve pace with Gil, deployment with Tsygankov and dribbling with each gamers. As well as, they’ve offensive and deep sides. Within the center, they take pleasure in imaginative and prescient, associative potential and passing in Iván Martín, and a whole lot of technical high quality, talent and dribbling with the Moroccan Ounahi. A really enticing footballer to observe and who lifts up the viewer with totally different filigrees. A participant to observe for the meringues midfielders. Whereas on the high the Ukrainian Vanat ensures battle, attraction to rival defenders and an excellent shot.

Girona is a courageous crew with out worry of reaching excessive ranges, with dynamism and braveness. Gangs are the primary supply of hazard. From there, they search for superiority with the rise and depth of the full-backs, and thus provide and provide the striker with low deliveries or crosses.

6- Enjoying type

Offensive crew, with a style for the ball and that tries to handle the video games. It is without doubt one of the factors that seems in pink in Míchel’s script, though this marketing campaign is costing him greater than ever. However it’s a dedication and identification and it requires you to at all times seek for it and check out. In protection, they aren’t decisive and have failed in lots of video games. With the ball in assault it’s a stunning crew to observe and enticing to the spectator. Girona at all times desires to mix, and attain the rival space so much and effectively.

There are nonetheless automatisms lacking that Míchel achieved in different campaigns and that they’re within the means of attaining. Amongst Primera’s present statistics, they’re within the high 3 for objectives conceded, photographs obtained, profitable dribbles, most passes in their very own half or share of photographs that go on objective.

7- Key man

The Ukrainian Vanat has been one in all Girona’s nice additions this season. His signing was tough as a result of Dinamo kyiv was powerful within the negotiations, however the Catalans have been clear that he was their objective for quantity 9. They’re in search of one other Ukrainian to succeed like Dovbyk did a few years in the past. Vanat is an ambidextrous striker, though he declares himself left-footed, with an associative profile, technically high-quality, good at offloading and who makes very clever unmarkings. He lacks some energy and aggressiveness, however within the neighborhood of the world he has proven to have an impressive shot. He’s the highest scorer from Girona (tied with the incombustible Stuani) with three objectives within the League and one within the Cup.
