Quotes
"I think the team has had the personality to play with our idea knowing that the connections are not yet... I'm not saying that they are not competitive," Girona manager Michel said after his side's draw with Betis.
"But we have had important ball losses in the center of the field, complicated situations that Betis could take advantage of in transition but we have continued looking for a way to do the things we have worked on all preseason. "I am happy for that, for that personality of not stopping playing what we want. "The second half is what we want.
"I'm very happy with the performance knowing the difficulty we had. The losses are a concern but it's something we're going to improve as soon as the players have more time with each other."
