Last cartridge for Carlos Bacca?

The loss of Luis Suárez, absence against Levante due to accumulation of cautions does not seem that he can provide a new cartridge to his compatriot, the Colombian Carlos Bacca. A striker with art, intelligence and flair who, unfortunately, is not finding his way to the goal in Los Cármenes.

On July 13, 2021, Granada made the signing of Carlos Bacca official for one season with the option of another. It was a quick move by the sports management that Pep Boada had just captained after the unexpected departure of Roberto Soldado to Levante, who paid the 500,000 euros of his clause.

Apparently it could be defined as a kind of exchange of a striker for another of a similar age and equally earned character.r. In addition, the numbers of this Colombian striker with Sevilla and Villarreal were the most interesting: at Sevilla he scored in 49 of his 108 commitments, while at Villarreal he scored 43 goals in 145 games. 92 goals. It’s not bad at all.

But his journey in this his third Spanish club is not being as profitable as he would have liked. Carlos Bacca has barely participated in 489 minutes spread over 15 games. Zero league goals and only one in the Copa del Rey. A disappointing balance that has made it stay in the caboose among the Granada attackers.

The sanction of Luis Suárez with a game due to the accumulation of warnings could open an opportunity for him to enjoy minutes. But the normal thing is that Rubén Torrecilla, the Granada coach, opts for Jorge Molina, or the Uruguayan Arezo. In other moments of the matches we have come to see the Albanian Uzuni helping as a center forward and even Germán. Good header. But not Carlos Bacca, that intelligent striker who almost signed for Malaga when he played for Bruges and ended up at Sevilla.

A welcome to the team is prepared

On the other hand, and aware of how much the team is playing this Sunday (2:00 p.m.) against Levante, the fans are preparing a special reception to encourage the players at a crucial moment. Granada hasn’t won at Los Cármenes since 12-22-21 (against Atlético de Madrid) and needs all the support in the world at this delicate moment.
