At the end of a meeting with multiple twists and turns, Girona lost at the end against Feyenoord, their score stuck at zero points after two days of the Champions League.
There were great cries of hope and fear intertwined in a seething Montilivi when the round of leather seemed to collide with the hand of a Dutchman in the box. We were playing at the end of added time and the Swiss referee, who was adamant for a while, called for the VAR to be examined, under pressure from the Girona players. A few additional crumbs of suspense finally at the end of an encounter where twists and turns were hidden in every corner. Between csc (the 3rd in 4 goals conceded with that of Gazzaniiga in Paris) and missed penalties. In the end, the foul play was not proven, and suddenly all Catalan eyes turned to sadness. Filled with sadness and immense emptiness. Girona, was beaten, on the ground at the end of an incredible encounter where the dice hesitated for a long time, rolling in the wind of uncertainty. What the Champions League! And it was a sky of darkness that accompanied the Catalan people to the gates of Montilivi.
In the center of the lawn, a group of Dutch men dressed in black, perhaps mourning their adversary, opened their arms towards the crazy happiness that had just fallen upon them. In front of them, the “Legion” soaked to the skin sang “Vamos à la playa”. Feyenoord, torn apart by Leverkusen (0-4) on the first day, stole the treasure and its first points in this new championship formula. Quite the opposite for the Catalans, who still deplore zero points, and have unfortunately not written the history of a 94-year-old club, as the Catalan coach Michel Sanchez hoped the day before. The 94-year-old lady had her back hunched yesterday as she left the lawn. But she could still be reassured.
“We don’t deserve to lose”
“Of course the defeat hurts me. But I’m not that worried. Because I liked the performance of my team for 70 minutes. For me, we didn’t deserve to lose. There might as well have been 3-3, right? », Analyzed Michel Sanchez, at a press conference.
Because despite the hazards, after her performance at the Park, she once again demonstrated that she was streamlined for the high seas (65% ownership). The frail skiff which sailed in the same waters as Ibiza, Amorebieta, Ponferradina or Fuenlabrada has gained a nice thickness and it will eventually pay off. That’s for sure. Against Slovan Bratislava, October 22, in Montilivi. “Yes, it’s true, it’s been six matches that we haven’t won, but things will turn around,” continued el Mister.
But what would have happened if Macedonian striker Miovki had converted this penalty in the 67th minute. Because barely had time to write it down when Van de Beek took advantage of Danjuma’s overflow to snatch the much-hoped-for equalizer (2-2, 72). An advantage which vanished ten minutes later on a second Catalan csc (Krejci), after that of Herrera in the 22nd, barely two minutes after the opening of the scoring with an angry header from David Lopez (20th). “Two cscs, that’s for sure, it’s not trivial. But for me there is no such thing as bad luck in football. For me, it will come. Except against Barça, we have always competed,” reassures the coach, already planning towards Bilbao, in La Liga.
