Girona FC head coach Michel Sanchez attended this afternoon a press conference ahead of tomorrow’s match between Girona FC and RC Celta Vigo at the Montilivi Stadium. The red-and-white coach emphasized the demands of the duel and the need to have a committed fan base.
Michel underlined the level of the opponents: “Celta is one of the best teams in the league. They are fighting for a European position and we need to be able to offset their pace of play and dominate the game. We want to take a step forward.” In this regard, he stressed that public support will be key: “We need our people to support us 200% because this is a competition where sometimes we will suffer.” The head coach was positive at the beginning of the year Extremely commented on the development of the team: “In 2026, we will do better. The team has more security in the game and when the opponent is in the offensive phase.” Even so, he insisted that the goal is still very clear: “We must reach 42 points as soon as possible. This is the most important thing for the team and the club, but we are still far from this number. We have to fight for those 42 points game by game. This is our reality.”

Regarding the team’s defensive performance and the young central defenders, Michel emphasized their progress: “For Vito, Francis or Arnault, when they play as central defenders, it is very important to have David and Daley as references. Vito Reis has grown a lot; we know he has special talents and now he is in good condition. He always gives 100% effort. He is a very humble person, eager to learn. He makes us better. For me, he will become a top player for a big team.”
The coach emphasized the importance of making it difficult for the Montilivi Stadium: “We must make it difficult for our opponents to score here.” He emphasized at the press conference that the entire game must be consistent: “We must maintain the same mentality in the 1st minute and the 90th minute. We need confidence to face the last minutes. The season is long, we must have clear goals, and if we have time to strive for more, we will not give up.”
