Girona’s Michel Sanchez Raises Concerns

Girona Manager Michel Sanchez Calls Out Players and Club

Girona manager Michel Sanchez has expressed his disappointment with the lack of focus and commitment shown by his players and the club. After narrowly avoiding relegation last season, the Catalan side has started the new season at the bottom of the league, conceding eight goals in just two games.

During their recent match against Villarreal, Girona’s defense was torn apart, with Villarreal scoring four goals in the first 28 minutes. Michel, visibly upset, barely communicated with his players during the cooling break. He later addressed the media, stating that Girona is currently not functioning as a team.

Michel Unhappy with Club’s Transfer Policy

Michel also criticized the club for allowing players to negotiate with other teams, leading to a lack of focus within the team. Several players, including Ladislav Krejci, Yangel Herrera, Arnau Martinez, and Jhon Solis, have been linked with moves away from the club. This has added to the instability within the squad, with only Arnau not featuring in the recent game.

‘It’s my worst moment as a coach’ – Michel

Less than 15 months ago, Michel guided Girona to a third-place finish, but the current situation has left him at his lowest point as a coach. He emphasized the importance of building a cohesive team and expressed his disappointment with the lack of unity on the pitch.

Michel highlighted the need for stability and teamwork, suggesting that the upcoming transfer window could provide an opportunity to regroup and redefine the team’s identity.

David Lopez Supports Michel’s Message

Veteran defender David Lopez echoed Michel’s sentiments, emphasizing the need for pride and commitment within the team. He called for a change in attitude and urged players to step up and show determination on the field.

The lack of response from Girona this summer, coupled with their poor performance, has raised concerns about the team’s future. The upcoming matches against Sevilla, Celta Vigo, and Levante will be crucial in determining the team’s trajectory under Michel’s leadership.
