Head coach Geroni Michel commented on the withdrawal of striker Vladislav Vanat, saying that the Ukrainian could not continue the game after the first half of the match against Seville (1:1) in La Liga.

At the post-match press conference, the Catalan coach said that the problem disappeared after the confrontation with Nemanja Gudelj:.

" Yogo chotirigolovy m’yaz buv more tension. Let's hope that it won't break. I felt the heat of the moment when I was running. We are not fully aware of the injury, but we cannot dismiss the results of the restraint."

Michel also noted that the replacements of Vanat and Fran Beltran were culpable and seriously impacted on the reversal of the other half.. According to the words of the coach, after the break, Girona lost the same intensity with the ball that Seville had experienced, which added in aggression and the fight for other balls.

Disappointed by the dramatic ending of the match and the unrealized chance of Christian Stuani, Michel lost his satisfaction with the team’s performance:.

" In the other half they changed the scheme, and it became more important for us.

The ending has taken away the unpleasant feeling, but I’m writing to the team.”.

After the draw in Seville, Girona moved up to 12th place in the La Liga standings, with 26 points.. The Catalan team will play their next match at home against Barcelona on the 16th.

Apparently, Vladislav Vanat has played 22 matches for Girona this season in all tournaments, scoring all goals and providing one assist. The remaining terms of the forward's renewal will become visible after medical release.
