28 games and going up. We will repeat it as many times as necessary. What great merit this Granada has! The team with the most official matches in all of Europe, 28, faces another busy week. On Tuesday he will receive Osasuna and then he will travel to Malaga to face the Copa del Rey commitment. Don't let the rhythm stop!
Gonalons and Quini. Diego Martínez explained that these two players were going to start against Barcelona. So many games in a short time and the muscular problems advised the coach the decision to save them. Let's see if they can be against Osasuna.
Montoro and Luis Milla. Circumstances are forcing players just out of injury or coronavirus to be ahead of what coaches often call ‘high competitive’. Diego acknowledged that Montoro played “more minutes” than advisable. Milla did too much jumping into the ring after overcoming the damn Covid a short time ago. This Granada has a lot of value.
Is Rui Silva's goodbye beginning to be assumed? The Portuguese goalkeeper ends his contract on June 30 and, according to Ideal de Granada, he will not renew. What will your destination be? Betis and Sevilla have him on their respective agendas as do Milan, Inter and Lazio. However it seems that his destiny may be in the Premier League (Everton is the best positioned). The Portuguese goalkeeper wants to finish the season in the best possible way because he is a professional and feels a lot of gratitude towards Granada. The club does not want this issue to divert the team from its daily work. In soccer, nothing can be ruled out. Just in case the sports management should probe the goalkeeper market.
Arbitration decisions. Granada is not very satisfied with some decisions of the Basque referee De Burgos Bengoetxea. The complaints come about a hand from Busquets at 0-2 and the lack of Eteki at 0-3. There are not too many complaints either and Diego Martínez sums it up perfectly. “Everything that could go wrong, went wrong.”
Machís and Germán, centenarians. In the run-up to the duel against Barça, the club paid tribute to Germán and Machís for having surpassed the magical figure of 100 official matches with the club. Both received a beautiful shirt with the emblematic centennial number.
In memory of José Antonio Noya. Before starting the duel against the Catalans, a minute of silence was observed in memory of this footballer, who was at Granada between 1968 and 1971 and who has passed away. A few months ago, Fernández, another of the legends of this team, also left us.
