Player ratings

Nothing got past Iván Martín

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 29 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Squad

Vitor Reis: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Girona have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market

Juan Molina puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Girona, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Óscar Mingueza in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Girona this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Viktor Tsygankov

Successful dribbles: 21. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

No hiding place for Vladyslav Vanat

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Vladyslav Vanat, and the manager let it.

Player ratings

Fran Beltrán shuts the door

Defensive actions: 16, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Squad

Arnau Martínez asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Market

Bryan Gil linked with a move away

The name of Bryan Gil keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Girona say nothing, which says plenty.

Market

Bryan Gil puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Girona, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Paulo Gazzaniga

There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Market

Ceuta come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Girona did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad

Tempers go at Girona

Bryan Gil was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Bryan Gil

Successful dribbles: 22. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

Levante take the points off Girona

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Player ratings

Nothing got past Arnau Martínez

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 43 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Match

The cup run ends for Girona

1‑1 against Las Palmas, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

Player ratings

A defender's afternoon for Iván Martín

Defensive actions: 34. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

Player ratings

Fran Beltrán shuts the door

Defensive actions: 30, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Viktor Tsygankov

Successful dribbles: 28. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Óscar Mingueza was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match

7 unbeaten for Girona

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 7 matches without defeat is a foundation Girona did not have in the autumn.

Match

Bryan Gil the difference as Girona beat Sevilla

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Bryan Gil. 1‑0 against Sevilla, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Ricard Artero

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
