I think we have had a remarkable season
Quique Cárcel reviews the season and says the team will remain competitive next year
"We have faced very strong clubs and the team has ended up playing very good football. After the World Cup the team took a step forward".
"Having a chance of going to Europe at the start seemed impossible, but the team responded and we had a chance until the end. Let's not forget that we have one of the lowest budgets in the category. If we had made it we would have gone all out but we can never forget the main objective, which is always to keep the club in the First Division.
"We have set the bar very high. We want to improve the team but the conditions will not vary too much from this year. The homework we set ourselves is the same and the objective will be the same."
"The squad has been balanced and everyone has been at a good level. This is a credit to the coach and his team. Now we have to work to be ready for what is to come. We are a club that has had to use loan players and we will try to get some players back. If there are departures, we will have to bring in players who can make up for them at the same level or better. Our intention is to maintain as much of the current squad as possible.
"Taty and Roro will be difficult to bring back. If they stand out they have less chance of coming back. Atletico must decide what to do with him. If he doesn't continue we will position ourselves to have him back. We can help him grow and we have shown that.
"It is clear to me that Taty is happy here in Girona. But the market will mark his destiny.
"I do not close the door on what can happen in the future. We value things a lot and the involvement of the people. Borja and Juan Carlos have been here for a long time".
"Arnau is young and talented. Clubs ask and are interested. If there is a good offer we will be open. He needs to keep growing and for me this is the best place to be. Arnau is ready to make a leap. If not now, it will be soon. It won't come cheap".
"The case of Ramon Terrats and Ivan Martin is different. Regarding Ramon we are waiting for Villarreal to make a decision. With Ivan we don't have any clause, but we will negotiate to see if he can return. He has given us a lot of things. We are evaluating and talking to the club".
"Regarding the possible arrivals, I will tell you that I don't look at ID cards or whether they have a name or not. They have to be players that we think will really take a step forward and help the coach to take a step forward. This could be young players who are starting out or others who can bring us experience".
"I'm clear that I want a very competitive team, with two players per position.
"The players we have on loan to other teams have had a very good year. There are several situations, some of them will do pre-season with us. They have all taken a step forward and we are happy".
"We know what we want and the needs that exist. At the moment, we have a very good squad to start the pre-season. "This year we have more time. You always look for the top players and they don't come quickly. This year I'm calm because the coach is still with us. We are clear about what we want and the needs that exist".
