Tottenham Hotspur’s Bryan Gil failed to enjoy regular minutes under Ange Postecoglou’s orders last season. Back in July, he joined Girona on a season-long loan deal and has clocked in 341 minutes from four games so far.
The winger has started his spell at Girona on a bright note. Last month, the Spanish press stated the winger has adapted in a ‘phenomenal way’ at the La Liga side.
Last week, the Tottenham man scored his first goal for Girona against CA Osasuna. He played 89 minutes in their 2-0 win over Sevilla at the weekend.
According to Estadio Deportivo, Girona manager Míchel feels the Spain international, Iván Martín and Viktor Tsyhankov want to feature in every game, even ‘when they are not at 100%’.
“We were lacking a bit of speed, especially when it came to making the clearances inside,” he said, as relayed by Estadio Deportivo. “We have told the players this but it’s a way of working that they have internalised but it’s true that today, I don’t know if it is because of the heat, because they have played three days ago, but the players, sometimes, are very selfish. Today I have the feeling that not having made changes, people were very tired, and we lacked energy.
“That’s noticeable in the depth… because that’s when you have to get that 100% in pace and today, I didn’t see it in Víctor, I didn’t see it in Bryan Gil, I didn’t see it in Iván, but hey, we competed well.”
The Tottenham owned player failed to score a goal or register an assist against his former club on Sunday. Estadio Deportivo still claim the 23-year-old was the ‘MVP against Sevilla’.
Gil spent nine years at the Andalusian club before leaving them for Spurs in 2021. The Girona boss knew very well that the clash against Sevilla was “special” for the Spaniard.
“He’s a player that we were already talking about last year about the possibility of him helping us, this year he really wanted to come. You can see that he is very focused, and I have the feeling that he is very comfortable,” Míchel explained.
“So, we just ask that those physical data you have become numbers that have already made a goal, have made an assist and we want that to go further.”
This means Míchel wants the attacker to improve his statistics at Girona.
