A-Antonio Fernández MonterrubiO
Managing Director. After doing a great job with Xerez and Rayo Vallecano, he applied three success formulas in Granada: work, family and his philosophy of “step by step.” With his management, the club is growing in all areas. And the best is yet to come.
B-Battles
We refer to the Source of Battles. Emblematic and historical. Located in the Plaza del Campillo and the place where the Granada fans celebrate the successes of their team. We predict that it will be crowded again when the pandemic passes.
C-Covid-19
The damn disease struck within the team. Several players, coaches and managers fell under its clutches. The last one was Luis Milla. The bug is being defeated by the ‘Eternal Struggle’ of all of them. This is Granada.
D-DDMC
Investment group from China that manages Granada from a distance, whose majority shareholding was acquired in 2016 by Daxian 2009 SL from Gino Pozzo. They are the ones who rule.
E-Eteki
He coincided in the Sevilla quarry with Diego Martínez. Eternal revulsive (or player number 12, depending on how you look at it) stands out for its physical power. More is expected of him.
F-Foulquier
He is the only player left from the 2013-14 squad, although there is a hiatus in between where he played for Strasbourg, Getafe and Watford. Very valued footballer.
G-German
He is the captain of the team. He has an interesting record. In each of his last nine seasons he has scored at least one goal. Very good defender and header.
H-Herrera
Yangel Herrera, the Venezuelan midfielder has scored four goals in the Eurola League and has become essential both in Los Cármenes and with the vinotinto. It is loaned by Manchester City, with whom it has a contract until 2024. The purchase option is so high (around 20 million euros) that it is unaffordable. We will have to negotiate. Valencia wanted to sign him last summer.
I-Isma Ruiz
One of the eight subsidiaries that were in Anoeta in a Granada plagued with subsidiaries because of the pandemic. The others were Ángel, Pepe Sanchez, Sergio Barcia, Fobi, Brunet, Bravo and Dani Plomer. What started out as a problem will be a blessing in the future.
J-John Jiang
Former president. He was relieved and relegated to the irrelevant position of honorary president because the owners of the club did not like him to be an owner. He was not going to Granada, nor was he expected. The only good thing is that it was not as dire as Al Thani.
K-kenedy
Brazilian player on loan from Chelsea without a purchase option. Last year he was at Getafe. Class and speed player. It has the competition of Machís, Luis Suárez, Puerta and even Soro. He played a great game against Valencia, scored and had a goal annulled.
L-Luis Suarez
The Colombian is the most expensive signing in the history of Granada. Watford asked for 15 million. The club is facing this operation with a installment payment over the next five years. Last season he played for Zaragoza and if it hadn't been because he was recruited by the English, the Aragonese would have been promoted.
M. Machís, Montoro, Milla and Molina
The ‘quadruple M’ of Granada ’. The Venezuelan has exploded and is already one of the most destabilizing of the championship. A figure. Montoro is one of the engines. Hero in the promotion and author of the fourth goal for Athletic in the last day of the last League that rounded off the qualification to the Europa League. Mile cost five million, his clause paid to Tenerife. The expensive is cheap. His game is very similar to that of his father, dominating the midfield, recovering, receiving and releasing the ball almost always at the first touch. The thing about Jorge Molina is brutal. His 38 years continues to score goals as decisive as the one on the 30th against Valencia.
Ñ-Ñito
Historic Granada goalkeeper. He spent eight seasons and competed with Izcoa in that glorious stage of the team in the 70s. We can say that he is one of the best goalkeepers that have passed through Los Cármenes. And there have been good ones.
O-Organization
The key to a business running like clockwork. That, and some owners who do not get too involved in the work of those who manage the day to day is ideal.
P-President
At the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting on September 15, the property appointed Rentao Yi, who also chairs the DDMC. He is a great unknown for fans and even within the club because little information is known about him, except what appears in some economic publications. Telematically directed the General Shareholders' Meeting on 29-D.
Q-Quini
He has recovered from a serious tear in the anterior ligament of his left knee that has taken him away from the pitch for a year. Diego Martínez is giving him minutes and he is seen with more and more confidence and less fear. A great 'signing' before the winter market starts.
R. Rui Silva
He arrived at Granada in 2016-17 from Nacional de Madeira. In the first two seasons he was in the shadow of Ochoa, Oier and Javi Varas. He did not despair. He worked and earned the job. Now he is one of the best goalkeepers in LaLiga. His contract ends on June 30 and the club wants to renew him. Betis and several other teams want him. Its continuity does not seem easy, but it should not be ruled out.
S-Soldier
Forged in the quarry of Real Madrid and 12 times international, he has put all of Granada in his pocket. At 35 he has not lost his enthusiasm and is identified with the club. He will renew if he plays 25 official matches and Granada ensures permanence. It looks like it. And in the club too.
T-Teuta
Albania's rival against whom Granada debuted in the Europa League on September 17. Won by 0-4. For history, the first scorer in continental competition: Roberto Soldado.
U-Unit
We rescued these recent words from Roberto Roberto Soldado in As. “One of our weapons is the union that exists, not only in the dressing room. Also in the club. Here we all treat each other the same. With the women in the laundry, with the maintenance guys … there is a special chemistry, they are people who love the club and we have a very professional treatment from them and apart from the staff it is something very nice ”.
V-Victor Diaz
He completes his fourth season in Los Cármenes where he is one of the captains. Forged in Sevilla Atlético where he coincided with Diego Capel or Fazio, among others. Now he is coming off an injury.
W-Wanda Metropolitano
The field where Granada has had the only severe roll of the year. 6-1 against Atlético de Madrid whose Luis Suárez (the Uruguayan of course) scored two goals.
Y-Yang.
Sophia. Yang This puts on your professional profile. “I joined Media Base Sports as CEO following the acquisition of the majority stake by the Chinese sports group company Wuhan DDMC Culture Co., Ltd (DDMC).” She is a counselor for Granada. The eyes and voice of property.
Z-Noble Zone
Granada has finished in a privileged position in all competitions. Good in the League, sensational in Europe and with solvency in the Cup. A sensational 2020 in sports.
Appendix. Diego Martinez
They call him 'The Shaman'. The sorcerer or sorcerer whose supernatural power has revolutionized Granada to take it from Second to Europe and up. He will certainly be the first coach to complete three consecutive and uninterrupted seasons. Contract ends on June 30. We do not rule out that you renew it.
