"You have to fight every duel and every play."

The coach of Girona FC, Míchel Sánchez, appeared ahead of tomorrow's match against Valencia CF at Mestalla, a game he considers key in a very tight competition phase.

The coach highlighted the equality of the league and the importance of earning points: “The league is very balanced, and tomorrow we have a new opportunity to do things well and achieve a victory that would be very good for us.”

Regarding the opponent, Míchel warned about their potential: “Valencia has a very good squad, and just two games ago, they were looking upwards. It will be a very tough match, and the small details will be very important.”

As for Girona's approach, the coach insisted on the need to be brave and dominant: “We have to look upwards and be aggressive, keep the ball in the opponent's half, and also recover it in their half.” Additionally, he emphasized the desire to make up for the last result: “We need to recover the points we didn’t get against Betis.”

Míchel also explained that the preparation for the match involves demanding the maximum from the opponent: “I expect the best Valencia and also look at how to make them uncomfortable.” The coach reminded that the team has not yet achieved its goals: “We are still far from our objective, and we have to do things to reach it as quickly as possible.” In this regard, he emphasized the level of competition: “You have to fight for every duel and every play. There will be suffering in every match.”

Finally, Míchel appealed to the pride and identity of the team: “You always play for your people and with the pride of doing things well” and “our identity is very clear, and when you want to do things well, you have to be very focused,” before concluding with a reflection on the dynamics of the league: “In this league, if you win two games in a row, the whole picture changes a lot.”
