Michel puts Girona’s rediscovered form down to the energy of the returning players from injury after they thrashed Espanyol in LaLiga on Saturday.
Girona had endured a shaky start to the season but moved up to fifth in the standings on 21 points after a superb home victory featuring a Bojan Miovski brace and goals by Bryan Gil and Ladislav Krejci.
Michel’s side have now won their last three LaLiga matches, going on their best such run since between April and May 2024, the last time they recorded three victories on the bounce.
“Today’s victory, which is our third [in a row], it’s due to the fact we got people back, because we’ve rested, because we’ve had a very good week of training and because that energy today was noticeable,” Michel told a press conference.
“The only thing I hope is that we continue to recover people, that we continue to have the necessary minutes for everyone and that, as we have very tough games coming up every three days, we need everyone to be at 100%; we’ll see if we can achieve this without any problems.”
