Girona has sold its best player last season, Artem Dovbyk. The top scorer of La Liga last season officially moved to AS Roma. I don't know what Girona management is thinking. Whether it is Artem Dovbyk's choice or a business done by Girona management. But certainly Girona will have difficulties this season. I doubt they can perform as well as last season. Last season they managed to become one of the title contenders. It seems that Real Madrid, Atletico and Barcelona will return to being the top three in La Liga.
In addition, in the pre-season match against Newcastle yesterday, Girona lost badly with a fairly large score without reply so that at least it can also be a reflection that Girona this season may not be as competitive as last season. However, I also will not take this as a decision that Girona will really be a weak team this season in La Liga because Girona could have another strategy after selling the player to AS Roma. Although for now there has been no significant change in the Girona camp itself.
There should be better progress but since now it is clear that Girona is not stronger than last season and in my opinion their performance has now declined.
And the big mistake is that Girona's management sold important players in their team, that is very unfortunate.
I saw Girona's performance when they were defeated badly by Newcastle and I think the Girona team has to make a lot of improvements if they want to be better next season, but it seems like that has happened and I even think it is impossible.
Even though Girona will play in the Champions League next season, but if you look at the strength of their team at this time I am very pessimistic that they can do much there.
