The Girona it seems that he has recovered his pulse, but he cannot be distracted. The draw against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu (1-1) served the rojiblancos to leave the relegation placesan important step for their peace of mind, although they still feel the heat. They add the same ten points as Cádiz and Seville and hence the two league duels that remain before the break for the World Cup are vital. This Friday the fire opens against Athletic and it’s time to make the point of the Bernabéu good.
Seeing themselves out of relegation after two days in the pit has revitalized the squad and reduced pressure. But it’s time to keep paddling. Oriol Romeu was clear after the match against Madrid and it is that “it is no longer a point. It has good taste, but throughout the season it is a point. We must do well by beating Athletic at home because if we don’t add up it won’t do much. We were good against Madrid, it gives us confidence and we must continue like this”. For a newly promoted player, adding to the Bernabéu is an important moral blow and the prize of being in permanent positions gives a plus. At a minimum, he shows that the path taken is good and only details need to be adjusted. Oriol Romeu considered the importance of being out of the relegation because “getting out of there is more of a mental situation than anything. When you go out to play downhill you have the pressure to score points and being out helps as you have the feeling that the dynamic is better. We were clear that we were doing things well, but we were not getting results. Little by little we add and we will try to go higher”.
The sensations that Girona gives off are good, although they are not translating into the desired points. So much so that the team from Girona has only been able to add three points from the last 21. A poor baggage that explains the suffering that the locker room accumulates. Of course, this Friday against Athletic there is a new battle and Montilivi will present a gala atmosphere. After that, there will be time to think about the duel against Elche. Two vital matches are coming up for a Girona that is looking for an immediate reaction so as not to pass the World Cup in relegation.
