Top start of episode seven (and perhaps last) of the rich career of Axel Witsel (36 years old). After Standard, Benfica, Zenit, the Chinese Tianjian club, Borussia Dortmund and Atletico Madrid, he is a player from Gérone FC for two seasons. With the undisguised objective of participating in the 2026 World Cup as a farewell to the Red Devils.
It remains to be seen in what role. Because by signing in the second best club in Catalonia (after FC Barcelona), Axel Witsel should return to its defensive midfielders within 4-2-3-1 usually used by its new coach, Michel. “For the past three years, I have played more as a central defender, but ultimately I have been a midfielder almost all my lifeexplained the Liégeois in his first interview with the club’s media. I have a style that balances a team when I play in the midfield. I am a very quiet player with the ball to ensure the game. “
Approached by Betis Seville and then Udinese, the Red Devil quickly turned to Girona when the contacts were made. “I came here because I like the team’s team for how the coach played the team. I also had a call from the coach. We had a good connection directly and I think it’s important to choose his next step”he justified, even if his first criterion was to be able to stay in Spain, where his family likes a lot.

He also probably assured himself to receive playing time. Essential element (and which missed him last season) to reintegrate the selection of Rudi Garcia. “”I want to help the team, whether I play 90, 45 or 15 minutes. No matter, but I’m going to train hard and try to give the maximum for this club, for the team, for the coach, for the fans and for everyone. “
Axel Witsel could appear on the match sheet this Friday for the launch of the Liga against Rayo Vallecano. “”But I need a little time to adapt. The first games are very closetempers the one who trained for the first time this Wednesday. I will try to adopt the pace of training and games as quickly as possible.
