Catalan Girona started the Spanish Segunda season with a draw against Leganes (1:1).
However, this match also involved a scandal in the middle of the team of Quique Alvarez.
The coach after the game announced that the Ukrainian striker Viktor Tsigankov was willing to come on as a substitute during the match.
And after this, local journalist Neil Sola reported that Tsigankov was not the only one who boycotted the coach’s chances of getting to the game - striker Vladislav Vanat was also inspired to go warm up if Alvarez got angry again.
The ZMI representative confirms that this behavior of the Ukrainians “was very badly received in the discordant city of Girona”.
Quique Alvarez's team will play the upcoming match against Cordoba.
