Michel acknowledged that his team is facing a tough emotional situation. "We haven't hit rock bottom yet, but we have hit rock bottom emotionally," he said. With six games left in the season, Michel emphasized the importance of staying focused and fighting hard to avoid relegation.
Girona started the season with high hopes, aiming to qualify for the Champions League and contend for the title. However, the team has faced numerous challenges, including a complicated season with many setbacks. Michel acknowledged that the team needs to work together to overcome their problems. "We have to have empathy with the players and myself. We've worked hard, but the team's morale is low," he admitted.
The coach also emphasized the need to focus on the present and not make excuses. "There's no need to look for excuses outside the box, and no one should give up. Let's row together. We'll be able to turn this around, and I'm convinced we will," he said.
Michel also called on the fans to be realistic about the team's chances of staying in the Primera Division. He acknowledged that building a new squad with 12 new players, including those from international teams, is a challenging task. "We have to find a solution to what we're experiencing now. It's not a football issue, it's a mental and emotional issue. I'm convinced of the quality of my team," he said.
The coach expressed his confidence in his players and encouraged them to lift their spirits. "I feel strong, and I believe a lot in my players. I have to convince them," he said.
