As we can see Girona took advantage of the momentum well. So Girona steps in La Liga are very well calculated. They know that no club can interfere in Real Madrid and Barcelona eternal rivalry in La Liga so what Girona can do is take advantage of the situation. Girona could lose to both clubs but the probability with the other club is actually higher. So this gives Girona a breath of fresh air sacrificing matches against Barcelona and Madrid but on the other hand they are fighting for big opportunities with the remaining clubs. For me, Girona strategy has been quite effective so far, with the result of 13 matches and one loss being a big achievement.
The only key for girona just being consistent till the end of season. Even though girona would be losing against the big clubs like barcelona and real madrid but the won against the weak teams will be helping the club so much in gaining the more points and defending its position.
Michel shall not high expectation for his club. He just need to make sure girona will always survive from the match against the weak team. that's more than enough to help girona stay at the top.
Even real madrid and barcelona can also missing points against the wake club. Football is still remain unpredictable at this moment.
Currently, Girona is at a stage that was never predicted before, their success in securing the top of the standings cannot be separated from solid teamwork. It is not easy to win 11 of the 13 matches played for a team like Girona which does not have the world's top star players in its squad, but they were able to do it perfectly. Yes, consistency is the key to success, they must be able to maintain it until the end of the season.
If you want to break down the dominance of Real Madrid and Barcelona, Girona cannot afford to lose points against other weak teams. Currently Real Madrid and Barcelona are experiencing problems in their squad, many of their key players are injured, they could lose points in the next match. Girona must make good use of the opportunity, when Real Madrid and Barcelona lose points, they must be able to add points to widen the gap with them.
