Quotes
“Villarreal is a great team, with players of a very high technical level," Girona manager Míchel Sánchez said ahead of their clash with Villarreal.
"It is true that we are very good but we will have to play a great game so that the rival is one of the best teams in the category. We cannot think that the three points are an obligation for us.
"But we can think that we will play a great game. We must focus on the next game and a lot. I really enjoy my job. I am in the place where my daily work has been most valued from the first moment," he added.
"This is what gives us confidence and security to continue growing. Seeing the players believe in what we do is spectacular.”
