Víctor Díaz, one of the seven heroes of the promotion, 150 games and going up

Aarón, Germán, Antonio Puertas, Quini, Montoro, Carlos Neva and Víctor Díaz are the seven heroes of the promotion to First Division in 2018-19 that still remain in the Granada squad. A fundamental backbone to explain the growth of this team.

Let’s stop at Victor Diaz. The great captain played his 150th game in El Sadar with the colors of Granada. A figure as worthy as it is round that is not available to everyone. Forged in the inexhaustible quarry of Sevilla, Víctor Díaz signed for Granada in the 2017-18 season. He came after the team’s embarrassing relegation to Second in the first season under the ownership of the Chinese company DDMC with John Jiang as president.

With José Luis Oltra as coach, he made his debut against Albacete on 8-20-2017. For the memory that line-up: Rui Silva; Víctor Diaz, Germán, Menosse and Ález Martínez; Espinosa, Montoro, Baena; Joselu, Pedro and Machís. The result, 0-0. It was a complicated campaign with three trainers and where the equine did not come close to the expectations that it did meet the following year with Diego Martínez on the bench.

Víctor Díaz is a serious and disciplined footballer. Good marker. His most common position is right back, although circumstances have made him the wild card of the defense because he has also played on the left side. Currently, Robert Moreno is using him as a center back because of Domingos Duarte’s injury. In Pamplona he formed a couple with the Peruvian Luis Abram.

This player’s numbers are not bad at all. Of the aforementioned 150 games he has played, 129 have been as a starter and accumulates a total of 11,784 minutes. He has a contract with the entity of Los Cármenes until June 30, 2022. It should not be ruled out that he will stay for another year.

Solidarity with the deceased Osasuna fan

On the other hand, Granada has shown its total solidarity with the Osasuna fan who died in the stands during the match between these two teams. Diario de Navarra said that this follower was from the province of Granada but had been in Pamplona for more than 40 years and worked as a coach and delegate in a Navarrese team, CD Arsenal.

Gonalons Earrings

On the other hand, the club is still waiting to see how Maxime Gonalons evolves after retiring injured in the duel against the rojillos. This ailment seems less serious than was feared.
