Restlessness in Granada: more injuries and uncertainty for Robert Moreno

The draw obtained by Granada in Bilbao has not brought the tranquility that the team so badly needs. A point that knows little, fifth yellow for Germán and Montoro, who will not be able to play the next league game against Alavés; three new injured, the aforementioned Germán Machis and Rochina and uncertainty with Robert Moreno. On the positive side, first title for Raúl Torrente, the center-back of the future.

Let’s go by parts. Robert Moreno continues to work hard to move the team forward. But things are not working out. The Ideal Granada medium expresses it clearly with this striking headline. “Moreno continues against the ropes and with lower ones.” And he also points out the name of Francisco from Almeria as an option if the situation does not straighten out. The next two games against La Laguna (in the Cup) and against Alavés (in the League) seem more than decisive.

Granada have only won two games out of 14 (at home against Sevilla and away against Levante). The rest, six draws and another six defeats, and a postponed match against Atlético is pending. The qualifying situation is disturbing in the lower zone and the shadow of the previous three seasons is still too long.

Patricia Rodríguez, the club’s general director, valued Robert’s work very positively and reflected this in a recent interview with As. “He has shown that he likes to have the ball and a more technical game scheme, but also that he adapts and it is modifying according to what it perceives and the needs that exist. The ability to work and that ability to adapt are very important to achieve these goals. In the short term it may be more difficult to see the results, but in the medium and long term it is seen, with work and with perseverance, everything arrives ”.

Plague of injuries

In this delicate sporting situation, the injury report does not help, much less. Three other players fell in San Mamés due to physical problems. The aforementioned Germán, Machís and Rubén Rochina, the first one will also not be able to play the next League match against the Vitorians for having seen the fifth yellow. With the other two, we are waiting to see how it evolves. More tenants for an infirmary where they are, in addition to the usual Neyder Lozano Luis Milla, Víctor Día, Domingos Duarte and Isma Ruiz. Some of these could arrive in time for next week.

Raúl Torrente is one of the positive notes of this Granada. A standard bearer of the entity’s commitment to the most national and educational product in the quarry. His first tenure left the feeling that there is a good future here. Granada has been doing things well with the quarry for some time.
