The sporting director of Girona, Kike Carcel, stated that the club has not managed to find a worthy replacement for the Ukrainian forward Artem Dovbyk, who moved to Roma.
“We are learning, everyone knew that this season we would be captives of our own success, which we achieved in the previous season of the Spanish championship. At that time we had 34 points, we scored 31 goals, and in this campaign, we have 18 points and 16 goals scored. Our club tried to ensure that we had competitive players.
Let me give an example. When Dovbyk moved to Roma, we tried to replace him with two players who could take on his scoring responsibilities, but this turned out to be a very difficult task for many reasons. I’m talking about Bojan Miovski and Abel Ruiz. They are still adapting to the playing style and the coach's requirements,” Carcel was quoted by Marca.
