Espanyol Prepares for Match Against Girona: Insights from Ramón Terrats

This Friday, Espanyol will face Girona at the RCDE Stadium. Ramón Terrats, a player who has donned both jerseys, previously achieved promotion to the top tier during his time at Montilivi. After today’s training session led by Manolo González, Terrats addressed the club’s media, expressing his gratitude: “I have been playing against Girona for many years, and it has been five years since I left there. I am very thankful to the club for the opportunity they provided me. Naturally, I will reunite with special people, friends from that time, and it is always meaningful to compete against them.”

Regarding Girona’s playing style under Míchel, Terrats remarked: “They have players of great quality. I believe that Míchel’s philosophy has been instilled over many years, and many of the players embody it themselves. They maintain a high level of possession, play very well, find spaces effectively, and come into this match with a positive momentum. I think they will arrive here with confidence and a strong desire to win. Players come and go, but Míchel remains true to his style, which I believe is what makes him a great coach and fosters complete trust from his players.”

Espanyol is currently enjoying a strong run, but after a derby defeat against Barcelona and a draw away at Levante, the team is focused on securing a victory in this crucial match, relying heavily on the support of their fans at the RCDE Stadium. Terrats stated, “Our sole focus is on the next match, and Girona is our immediate concern. We are concentrating on them, doing our best, and striving to win all three points. Playing at home, we recognize the importance of our fans, and I believe that together we can achieve another three-point victory.”

Following the draw against Levante, Terrats expressed dissatisfaction: “We are not satisfied. The mentality of the team and the club has evolved. We want to win all three points in every match, and dropping two points recently has affected us; we are aware that this mindset will allow us to perform at our best. Nonetheless, I pointed out that no one would have imagined accumulating 34 points at this stage. It has been an excellent first half of the season, but we must remain grounded, taking it step by step, game by game, and everything that comes our way will be positive.”
