The 2026/27 season, in another division of Spain, broke out for Girona due to a terrible internal scandal. The team's Ukrainian winger Viktor Tsigankov was categorically encouraged to come on as a substitute in the opening match of the championship against Leganes.

The Catalan club, which flew out of the Premier League last season, experienced a change in the coaching position: Michel's replacement took over the team from the 50-year-old Quique Alvarez. Having informed the press about the unprecedented situation with one of the team leaders.

“Tsygankov was in order, he was with the applicant, but he didn’t want to overexert himself in order to gratify. Having lost the box, the players are watching the match. “I don’t remember such a position on the side of a professional football player,” Alvarez said confidently after the game.

In the new season, the representation of Ukraine in Girona has expanded. Before Viktor Tsigankov, forward Vladislav Vanat and goalkeeper Vladislav Krapivtsov, another forward was added to the list - Oleksandr Pishchur.

The attacker and the goalkeeper spent all 90 hvilins on the lava for the reserves (at the Tsigankov fall - through the direct wicket). Oleksandr Pishchur burst into flames without stopping before applying for the starting match.

The match itself was extremely important for the Catalans. Leganes first hit the crooked side due to the blow of attacker Naim Garcia. Girona was in a short time to start Segundi's season with defeats, but the team lost Abel Ruiz's goal in the 90th match. After a complete draw (1:1) based on the results of the first round, Girona takes the top spot in the tournament table.

Quique Alvarez's team will play the upcoming match against Cordoba. It will be this Friday, 21st September, at 22:00 Kyiv time. If Tsigankov stops at the applicant for the upcoming round after his demarche, he will be deprived of food.
