The Girona head coach, Michel, has given his team an assignment to "turn the page" after their Champions League debut, a 1-0 loss to Paris Saint-Germain. Girona caused frustration for their Parisian opponents by limiting Luis Enrique's team to just five of their 26 attempted efforts on goal. But in the ninetieth minute, Nuno Mendes' innocuous delivery escaped Paulo Gazzaniga's grasp, shattering the hearts of the Blancquivermells. The Catalan team began the season with seven points from their first five games, but their attention is now back on league play.
Traveling to the Estadio de Mestalla, Michel's team will take on Valencia, who are currently in last place but have had some success against them recently. Girona has defeated Valencia in four of their eight La Liga encounters (L4); their only other victory in the top division came against Sevilla (six), with four more victories coming against Rayo Vallecano, Las Palmas, and Celta Vigo. And Michel emphasized that his guys are prepared to get back to winning ways despite their dramatic midweek loss. Michel said reporters, "The team is back to thinking only about LaLiga." There might still be players who are recuperating in circumstances when they are at their most physically and emotionally worn out. However, our team is well-prepared.
We must perform at our highest level and have a fully engaged team.Those with greater experience can turn the page faster than others after the momentous match against PSG. My task now is to determine which players are mentally stronger. We have demonstrated that we are a proud small team.For this reason, I need everyone on board in order for them to support their teammates as much as possible." Valencia's campaign has started poorly, as they have only managed one point from their first five games. The hosts this weekend have now lost their past 12 La Liga matches. The most recent winless run they had together was from November 2015 to February 2016.
