Girona is the best place where I can be

Míchel Sánchez will have Riquelme and Ivan Martín available for Sunday's match in Pamplona.

DelfínGeli: "Michel has taken us from the second division to the first division and now we have a challenge that would be magnificent. We want to thank him and all his team for their involvement".
Quique Cárcel: "For me today is a very special day. Our expectations have been exceeded. Míchel has spectacular human qualities and the talent has been demonstrated. The Club had three very big hurdles to overcome and Míchel has turned it all around". "Girona is very lucky to be able to count on him for the next three seasons.
"I have never doubted that he would renew. The day Michel is not at the point we are at now I would have noticed it and that's why I have never been afraid. Girona have their budgets. We are at a point of unity because of how we look to the future".
Míchel: "We are very happy here. We have everyone's trust. Quique has made me better. I'm just another part of the project that is growing. Without the confidence of the sporting management it would be difficult for this project to go ahead".
"The Club has the project to grow in the First Division. This year we managed to reach our objective before the last game but continuity is important for the project. The coaching staff, the staff and the fans are also growing. This is important. I think Girona is the best place for me to be, that's why I have renewed.
"Quique and I have talked a lot on a daily basis and my predisposition has always been to stay here. This project is very good for us and we are grateful".
"When things weren't going well they showed me confidence and this is very important". "Our idea has always been to continue at Girona". "Now my objective is to continue here, but we have to go slowly. The results mark everything as a coach. I hope it goes well for everyone. I have a lot of confidence in the coaching staff, in the club... I believe that great things can be achieved".
"The Club's challenge is to consolidate the team in the First Division and to always go as high as possible. Now it's time to look at the long term. The people must also feel represented by the idea of the game. The fans must feel proud of the team.
  "My goal now is to stay here, but we have to take it slowly. Results determine everything as a coach. I hope it goes well for everyone. I have a lot of confidence in the coaching staff, in the club... I believe that great things can be achieved".
"Reaching Europe is a dream for everyone. But it's nowhere near the pressure of last year in Tenerife. Being in Primera or Segunda is very different, there is a big difference in category".
"I really like playing this type of game with teams like this, who come for you. We've also gone for the opposition and we've played very good games. We have to take this step forward. When we have the ball and we're going to hurt, we can do it and get a good result."
