Diego Martinez a great season in front of the Pomegranate, which is experiencing for the first time in its history, in addition, the challenge of participating in a European competition, the Europa League. The effort that for a team like the Nasrid one involves facing three competitions (League, Cup and European competition) means that the Andalusian coach has been forced to resort to how much player he has available.
And so, he reaches the 17th round of the championship having already lined up to 31 players at some point in the 16 matches they have played (the team has yet to play the match corresponding to the fourth day, against Osasuna in Granada, which will be played on Tuesday of next week).
No other Primera team has used so many players so far
These 31 players used by Diego Martínez to date make the Andalusian team the LaLiga Santander team that more pieces he has put on the board so far, ahead of Cádiz, with 28.
If we count all the competitions, the coach of Granada has already drawn, either to play or to complete calls, a whopping 41 players between League, Cup and Europa League. Recall that, affected by COVID, Granada traveled to San Sebastián on matchday 9 to face Real Sociedad with numerous casualties that forced them to call up a good number of players from the subsidiary.
A circumstance that led him, at one point in the game, to not having the minimum number of players from the first team to score on the pitch. Regulation, an offense that did not cost him any sanction in the absence of a complaint by the San Sebastian team, which accepted the 2-0 with which the clash ended at the end of 90 minutes.
