Jorge Molina will turn 39 on April 22 and Roberto Soldado will be 36 on May 27. Those times when a footballer who was 30 years old was considered ‘old’ and ‘finished’ have been annihilated by seeing these two natural phenomena who are still sane. Jorge Molina has a contract in force until 2022 and Roberto Soldado will renew for another season if he plays three games (minimum of 45 minutes in each of them). The performance and charisma of these illustrious “goal floats” is being formidable. And in Granada they congratulate each other.
Soldado has participated in a total of 32 matches. They are 23 in the League, six in the Europa League and three in the Cup and has scored, respectively, six, three and two goals. Eleven in all. The Valencian is already Granada history because he scored his first goal in Europe against Teuta in Albania and another two decisive for Granada to eliminate Molde to reach the quarterfinals.
For his part, Jorge Molina has participated in 27 games, 23 in the League, 10 in the Europa League and four in the Cup. with four, three and four goals respectively. Ten in all. He also has an interesting record. He is the second oldest scorer in the history of the Europa League only behind Daniel Hestad, at 40 years and 98 days. The day Molina opened the Mold can, he was 38 years and 323 days old.
When this season ends, these two players will add up to 75 years, but it will still be seen with strength and enthusiasm to continue enhancing the legend of Granada. “Every time I mark I go out on some longevity record “ Molina commented in a recent interview with As where he also gave one of the keys to continue this well. “You have to live for football. It's what I like the most. I try to do my best to continue enjoying this magnificent sport. You have to take good care of yourself and work. You have to keep the illusion of going every day to train and play ”. Jorge Molina is the third oldest player in Primera only behind Nino (40 years) and Joaquín (39).
For his part, Soldado has scored goals in Europe with five different teams: Real Madrid, Valencia, Osasuna, Villarreal and Granada.. No Spanish footballer has achieved something similar. “What I have clear is that, at my age, to continue playing football I have to keep feeling good. As long as I feel good I want to continue playing. Hopefully we can have a good season and I can stay ”. This said in As.
Moral: we have ‘goal floats’ for a while.
