On the field they always perform well where the actual possession and opportunities are always favorable, it's just that the difference this season they have many gaps such as the attack line that has not been integrated, poor finishing and even weak defense which makes sometimes being in the Girona bet it makes me a little anxious about their condition.
Although in this match they are still a favorite for the bookmakers, I still think the risk of being in Girona is still quite large even though the opponent is Valladolid, which is actually below them.
This time, I saw that Girona dominated the whole match and I felt like they restored back the previous season performance. They controlled possession and created solid chances, with their effectiveness in attack every time they launch a counter attack or building a chance. It was refreshing to see them play with such confidence and precision again as if the struggles from this season didn’t exist or like switching to the old mode. Their finishing in every chance was good enough and their defense held strong, making the win feel deserved against Valladolid, which are now in last places of standings.
While they had gaps and inconsistencies recently, today’s game showed they still have that spark, probably due to the opponent’s position and performance too. The team isn’t like last season anymore, but they can regain that confidence starting from now, I personally enjoyed their matches last season, why not again?
