The best antidote to laziness at the start of the League is Girona. A huge source of joy with which to fight post-vacation depression. Their offensive football oozes mood restorers that are highly recommended for the health of fans. Míchel Sánchez is the shaman who spices up the magic potion, but he is just as important as Quique Cárcel, the team's architect for nine years, in which he has used the brush more than the chisel.
And the results couldn't be better. After six games, Girona has the same points as Barça and has made the best start in its history, accumulating five consecutive victories, its best streak in the First Division.
Having passed the first year of adaptation to the category after promotion, the Girona project has taken a step forward in terms of ambition. This club takes advantage of everything, from David López abandoned to his fate by Espanyol, to a young prodigy from the City Group environment like the Brazilian Sàvio, known as Savinho, who, unlike last year at PSV, this year has found the perfect ecosystem for its explosion.
Quique Cárcel's work in sports management has once again been decisive. In the eight years that he has been at the club he has experienced five promotions and has achieved two promotions to the top category. The agreement with the City Group has been important for the incorporation of young talent, but many other signings have their stamp. Among them are Tsygankov and Dovbyk, from Ukrainian football, Iván Martín (Villarreal), Portu (Getafe) and Daley Blind (Bayern Munich). In addition, he has once again added several loans that increase the level of the team, such as those of Eric García or Pablo Torre, from Barcelona. In total, a very ambitious investment of 22.5 million this year and 15 million last year.
None of this would be possible if the coach's idea did not accompany that of sports management. And there Míchel has adapted perfectly to the club and the city since his arrival; His effort to speak Catalan at press conferences is an example of this. In these seasons, the man from Madrid has almost always managed to bring out the best version of his players and instill in them the same offensive culture that made him shine at Rayo Vallecano. Thanks to their brave proposal, Girona is the highest scoring team along with Barça (16 goals) and up to ten different players have scored: Yangel Herrera (3 goals), Cristhian Stuani, David López, Artem Dovbyk and Sàvio Moreira (2) , Aleix García, Portu, Viktor Tsygankov, Yan Couto and Iván Martín.
The young Brazilian winger Sàvio Moreira is being the star of the team in this historic start to the season for the club. At 19 years old, he was already one of the sensations of the preseason and has opened the season with a full start in the first six games, in which he already has two goals and three assists. Trained at Atlético Mineiro, he debuted with the first team in the Brazilian League at just 16 years old (2020), led by Jorge Sampaoli. In Girona he has found the ideal place to grow as a footballer. A bargain for Girona, a future deal for City.
