Asked about his ideal outcome, he said he would like to beat Arne Slot&#8217;s side by the minimum with 90th-minute winner from Cristhian Stuani. In any case, he acknowledged that it is logical that the Reds would win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Monday, on the eve of a \u201cspecial\u201d and \u201chistoric\u201d day when Liverpool visit Montilivi, Girona coach Michel Sanchez affirmed that his dream is to beat the English team 1-0 with a goal by Uruguayan Cristhian Stuani in the 90th minute. In the press conference prior to the Champions League clash, the Madrid-born coach appealed to the \u201cGirona pride\u201d and \u201cthe magic of Montilivi\u201d to try to beat the English side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Spanish coach admitted that \u201cit is possible\u201d that not even his best version will be enough to beat the leader of the Premier League and the Champions League, but he asked for \u201csoul, heart and our idea\u201d so that the fans feel \u201cproud and represented\u201d by Girona. In this sense, he claimed that his team has \u201cnever\u201d made a \u201cfool of itself\u201d and that it makes him \u201cvery angry\u201d that this is said because of the elimination in the Copa del Rey at the hands of Logrones, a team that plays in the Spanish fourth tier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>M\u00edchel stressed that he has \u201ca thousand facts\u201d that support the fact that Liverpool is \u201cone of the best teams in the world\u201d and pointed out that it is a team that \u201cdominates all the concepts of the game\u201d. \u201cIn the last few games, they have shot more than 20 times on goal. They are a very difficult team to stop,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also maintained that Arne Slot&#8217;s team is \u201cthe best team in the world in transition\u201d and that Egyptian striker Mohamed Salah is \u201cin an incredible moment of form\u201d, so he asked his players for \u201cfocus and attention for 90 minutes to defend a player who you can&#8217;t leave any moment\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, Girona, according to M\u00edchel, will need to be \u201ca very aggressive team defensively\u201d and have the ball and \u201clook forward\u201d to try to \u201cminimise\u201d Liverpool&#8217;s offensive power. On a personal level, the Spaniard acknowledged that playing against the English team was his \u201cdream\u201d since his time as a player at Rayo Vallecano.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.besoccer.com\/match\/girona-fc\/liverpool\/2025162117\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Girona coach Michel Sanchez appeared at a press confere [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":176,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-175","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/175","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=175"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/175\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":177,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/175\/revisions\/177"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/176"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=175"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=175"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=175"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
