The president of Girona FC was interviewed in the “The VAR” section of the Catalunya Ràdio program ‘Tot Gira’, hosted by journalist David Clupés. The LaLiga co-leader will play their first game of the year next Wednesday, January 3 against a direct rival: Atlético de Madrid.
Simeone’s team will visit Montilivi with the aim of closing the gap; Míchel’s men, on the other hand, will try to distance themselves even further in the table.
The president acknowledged that the demand for tickets to Montilivi has grown significantly as the days have passed: “It will be difficult to get seats for the match against Atlético. Everyone wants to come to the stadium to enjoy the team.” A full house is expected on January 3.
Clupés asked the president about the situation of players like Savinho and his possible departure in the winter market. Geli responded clearly and assured that the Brazilian winger’s loan ends at the end of the season and he will not leave in January..
The program contacted Santi Denia, Delfí Geli’s former teammate at Atlético de Madrid and Albacete, and they reviewed their time as teammates. The former footballer from La Mancha is the current Spanish U-21 coach.
Asked about Girona’s exceptional situation in the League, Denia declared that “the team has to enjoy every moment they are living, because what they are achieving is not normal.”.
The current under-21 coach had good words for the Girona youth team and players who have worked with him such as Pablo Torre and Arnau Martínez. “Pablo Torre is a player that we like a lot and we hope that Míchel gives him minutes because he is very good,” Denia declared.
