Rui Silva, the ‘parapenaltis’. The Portuguese goalkeeper has not relaxed his commitment to Granada due to the fact that he has committed to Betis for five seasons. In San Mamés he stopped a penalty against a specialist, Raúl García. It is the fourth that stops in what we have of campaign. The previous ones went to Saúl in the Wanda Metropolitano, Edu Expósito in Eibar and another to Paco Alcácer in Villarreal. If to this we add the one who stopped the youthful Angel William José in Anoeta, we find that Granada is the team that has intercepted the most maximum penalties. It all adds up.
The expulsion of Diego Martínez. The Valencian referee explained in this way why he expelled the coach from Granada. “In the 90th minute, coach Martinez Penas, Diego was expelled for the following reason: Once the game was over and being in the changing room tunnel, he addressed me repeatedly protesting.” The wording of the refereeing document suggests that the Competition Committee will sanction the coach with a match.
The throw-in of discord. Roberto Soldado was on fire because Martínez Munuera's assistant referee gave Athletic a throw-in that should correspond to Granada. The play in question ended at 2-1 for the Bilbao team in extra time. Benito Floro was right when he spoke about “the importance of the throw-in” despite being taken for an enlightened one.
Green shoots with Gonalons. The Frenchman signs up to play next Thursday's great game against Molde de Norway. His fibrillar injury to the right hamstring evolves based on a gym and physical therapy treatment. A relief for Diego.
From the medical part to the lawn. Granada was in such a hurry to form an eleven that four footballers jumped, as they say, from the infirmary to play. Germán, Montoro and Yangel Herrera will not play the Europa League due to suspension. Neither does Quini because he is not registered. Other absences for this last reason will be Fede Vico, Quina and Adrián Marín. To this we add the part of the war with eight more injuries pending evolution, which are: Neyder Lozano (this long-term), Luis Suárez, Machís, Luis Milla Carlos Neva, Vallejo, Soro and Pepe Sánchez. Lots of fabric!
Eternal Jorge Molina. The one from Alcoy scored again. His fourth goal in the league (he has 10). “We deserved the draw. We competed at all times and we had the ball and in general we played a good game. Now, let's focus on the match against Molde, which makes us all very excited ”.
