Míchel Slams Livakovic Over Match Refusal: Girona's Dilemma

Míchel Slams Livakovic Over Match Refusal: Girona's Dilemma

On Thursday, Girona's coach Míchel announced that Croatia's goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic has been dropped from the squad after he opted not to participate in a recent match. Míchel criticized Livakovic for prioritizing his international ambitions over the club's needs.

The coach revealed that Livakovic articulated a desire to leave Girona, fixating solely on the World Cup. He cited that he declined to play in order to maintain his eligibility for a transfer, as he has already played for Fenerbahce this season, and thus can only represent two clubs.

Míchel noted that Livakovic was asked to play in a Copa del Rey match earlier this month, which he refused, leading to Paulo Gazzaniga having to take the field despite experiencing flu-like symptoms and a high fever. This player situation has left Girona with just one viable goalkeeper until the winter transfer window opens.

He emphasized the importance of transparency with fans, stating they deserve to know the reality of the team's situation. Gazzaniga, who has been with Girona for three years, has had a tumultuous season, contributing to two goals against Elche recently due to errors.

Currently sitting at 18th on the league table, Girona's goalkeeper situation poses an additional hurdle as they strive to remain in the top division.
