Santiago Arias sees the light and relieves Robert Moreno’s Granada

Granada obtained a golden triumph against Alavés, a direct rival. The team improves its situation and will have 10 days of tranquility to prepare for the game next Monday the 13th at the Nuevo Mirandilla against Cádiz. A victory that relieves the team and gives a tremendous respite to the coach, Robert Moreno, who would have gotten into a difficult problem in the event of defeat.

Once again it has become clear that this Granada is better when Luis Milla is on the pitch. It is the spring in the center of the field. Recovered from his injury, he already reappeared last Wednesday in the team’s victory against CD La Laguna by 0-7 in the Copa del Rey. Mulla spoke like this for the official club media after the match against Mendizorroza’s team. “Alavés squeezed us in the second half. It has to do with the difficulty of winning in the First Division. You have to suffer a lot. And more in the situation we are in because we need the points. I’m very happy because this time we were able to win in the last minutes and for helping the team, which is what one wants. Now we have to think about the match against Cádiz, which is another final for us ”. Words corroborated by Quini. “These three points were vital for us.”

The ‘rebellion’ of Arias

The account ‘Ighalopedia’ (@GCFstats) is the most interesting that we can find on Twitter because it provides valuable statistics. We echo these data. Granada has achieved its 250th victory in the First Division. There is more data. The first victory was against Deportivo in 1941-42 (4-1), 100 against Espanyol (1-0 in 1970-71), 200 against Elche (1-0 in 2014-15) and now the 250 against the vitorianos.

But there is more. Santiago Arias scored the 600th goal for Granada at home in the First Division. A goal that has added value for the Colombian defender on loan from Atlético de Madrid, who was quite good in the cup game and now wants to rebel to improve his situation and have more minutes. Arias had not scored a goal for three years. It was with Atlético against Huesca on January 19, 2019. The full-back sees the light again after recovering from his serious injury in October 2020 suffered in a Colombia, Venezuela.

Two days off

As a reward for his tremendous effort and given the distance with the next game, Robert Moreno has given two days off to the entire squad.

Are you looking for a striker?

The goal is resisting Granada’s forwards in La Liga. Luos Suárez has four and Jorge Molina two. What worries is that Carlos Bacca has not yet made his debut in the regularity tournament (he scored in the Cup). The possibility of GRanada looking for a forward in the upcoming winter market cannot be ruled out.

Time to empty the infirmary

Granada will take advantage of these ten days without competition to try to empty the nurseIt is currently occupied by Domingos Duarte, Machís, Germán, Víctor Díaz, Rochina and Isma Ruiz. Montoro will reappear in Cádiz because he has completed his penalty match
