In the first five rounds, Michel's men have scored 13 out of 15 points, which is the same as Barcelona and only two points less than Real Madrid.
AS emphasises that, in addition to good results, Girona plays a beautiful game and scores a lot of goals - as of now, the Catalans have already scored 11 times, which is the second highest result in the Primera Division. Only Barcelona has scored more (13). In addition, Girona is one of four teams that has scored in every game this season, along with Real Madrid, Villarreal and Sevilla.
AS also noted how Michel's style unleashes the talents of the players, including Tsygankov.
"Michel'sstyle favours attacking play and brings out the best in players who are on the showcase of European football, such as Viktor Tsygankov and Savinho. Both scored the first two goals in last week's 4-2 win over Granada."
The publication also draws attention to the fact that the 11 goals scored by Girona this season were scored by nine different players, including two Ukrainians:
Christian Stuani - 2
Yangel Herrera - 2
Artem Dovbyk - 1
Viktor Tsygankov - 1
Savinho - 1
Aleix Garcia - 1
David Lopez - 1
Porto - 1
