Girona fans can't stop marvelling at how well the Ukrainian Tsygankov-Dovbik pairing is working, who once again organised a goal, this time against Rayo Vallecano (2-1).
Again, much more attention is paid to Dovbik's game, but they do not forget to praise Tsygankov. Girona fans recognise that the game with Rayo was very difficult, and without the Ukrainians it would not have been possible to win. Once again Dovbik and Tsygankov help the team to get three points and continue to lead in the Spanish league table.
Viktor TsygankovAssiga: Things could have ended much worse for Girona. "Rayo play good football even against top clubs. Fortunately, Tsygankov and Dovbik helped Girona to equalise at the right moment, after which it was easier to play, and then they managed to win.
Canjila: Dovbik is a killer forward. He scores in every game, tries to play as efficiently as possible, but he doesn't forget about the spectacular. I like the fact that he is not just a post where the ball hits, but a forward who knows how to find scoring chances.
Laurel: If Dovbic had scored a goal with his heel, it would have been fantastic. It's a pity, the defender had time to save Rayo. The Ukrainian really knows how to act unexpected and unpredictable for the defence.
Pepe: Dovbik and Tsygankov are a perfect pair on the pitch. They understand each other perfectly and help Girona to move forward. Thanks to those people who noticed them and managed to persuade them to join our team.
Gil: Dovbik could have scored 2-3 goals today, if he realised all the chances. But even the best forwards in the world don't have 100% realisation. Holand, Mbappe, Kane - all score a lot, but nobody can realise all their chances. So thanks to Dovbic, he scores consistently in virtually every match.
Verne: "Girona" is not "Real" or "Barcelona". It is worth admitting that Rayo seriously "drove" us in this match. The Madrid club created a lot of chances. Somewhere the goalkeeper helped us out, somewhere we were lucky. But we could have scored more goals if Dovbik had been lucky in those moments when he made the passes.
Luna: Dovbik did a great job with the defender in the goal. It seemed that the defenders closed the Ukrainian, but he broke away from them at the right moment and calmly realised the moment. Although I would also mention Tsygankov, who did everything right and waited for Dovbik to make a breakthrough.
Assolius: Everyone praises Dovbik and it is right. But let's not forget about Tsygankov, without whom Girona wouldn't be where they are now either. There's also Savio, Michel, Koutou.... I could go on. "Girona is strong with team play. Today it proved that again.
Polacorros: It will be difficult for Girona to win the championship because we have a short bench. If Dovbik, Savio or Tsygankov get injured, the attacking potential of the team will be reduced by 50%. But Girona have Michel, who is an outstanding coach. Much more talented than Xavi, who has been praised for so long.
Fritura: Dovbic is a goal machine. He has already scored 7 goals, and there are still a lot of matches ahead. The Ukrainian should break the mark of 10 goals this year. This is his minimum task.
Gumble: Many years ago "Manresa" (in 1998 - note) won the Spanish basketball championship. One of the poorest and humblest teams in the league beat Real Madrid and Barcelona, as well as the other favourites of the season. Why do I bring this up? Because it was also a team from Catalonia that nobody believed in, that was in Barcelona's shadow. A team from a small town had one outstanding season and then went back to where they were before. Back then, the team also had some little-known players, like Dovbik or Tsygankov, who pulled it forward. And this Girona reminds me of that Manresa. La Liga gold medals? Well, you can dream and it's free.
RafaLel: Girona's budget is about 50 million euros. Real Madrid's budget is 700 million more. We have an amazing team, an outstanding coach Michel, an incredible forward Dovbic, and so on. But we just don't have the same opportunities to stay first. Everyone knows that Real Madrid and Barcelona collaborate with referees who are sympathetic to them, to say the least. To stay in first place, we need to be many times better than these clubs.
Floquet: Dovbik and Tsygankov almost organised a second goal of the same kind, if not for an amazing save by the goalkeeper. Fortunately, Savio was in the right place at the right time and scored Girona's second goal.
Vergaro: The mutual understanding between Tsygankov and Dovbik works as well as a Swiss watch. Respect to the scouts who paid attention to the Ukrainians, as well as to the people who were able to persuade them to play for Girona.
Genio: When people say that Dovbik does not realise all the chances, I want to support the Ukrainian. Look how many chances Rayo's attacking players had today and how many they realised? The Ukrainian scores often and a lot, although he doesn't have the same support as many other La Liga forwards.
Narciso: Ukrainian players give the team a winning tempo. And that's no coincidence. Dovbik fought for the championship title at his former club, and Tsygankov played for the most famous Ukrainian club for a long time.
Fausto: Savio and Garcia attract a lot of attention, but I really think that Dovbik is a great striker and the best player of the team. He is really good in many ways. Dovbic is very reminiscent of Mitrovic, who also scored consistently a lot even without playing for strong teams.
Dolce: This Dovbic came out of nowhere. Few people heard about such a player six months ago. Now he gives Spanish clubs a headache every week and defenders don't know how to stop him.
Adelard: Dovbic is a weapon of mass destruction. When he gets in shape, he is unstoppable. And Tsygankov is like a night vision scope. He looks at the pitch and sees Dovbik, then sends the ball exactly on target. Amazing players.
Biel: Dovbik and Tsygankov are leading Girona to gold medals. I don't know how this amazing adventure will end, but I am enjoying every second of leading the standings. It seemed fantastic that we could get to the top spot at all..... But the fact that Girona remain firmly in the lead in La Liga is simply impossible to explain.
