The Granada is off to work from day one

The Granada Football Club has been working hard from the first day. Not even the impressive Andalusian sun or the incredibly high temperatures have deviated the course of the Madrid coach, who wants to impose a high physical and concentration rhythm from the very beginning, undoubtedly testing the players' morale. The coach knows that the squad is still incomplete and that the stars of the new project are yet to come, but for now, he will work to the maximum with the squad that has been given to him.

The first thing that Sandoval made clear to the players is that there were no distinctions, that everyone starts from scratch, that it is not enough to have a name or past achievements, but he understands that all the pieces he now has in the locker room are capable of staying in the first team and he encouraged them to give their all to make it happen. And he made it clear that "one hundred percent effort is non-negotiable", it's his only condition.

In just a month, the time he managed Granada during last season, Sandoval won the players' respect, whom he was able to convince in record time of what they could achieve. "He has deserved to continue. Last year he showed that he can deliver results and if the club has bet on him, we have to help him to the maximum for the results to be good," said Rochina, one of the players whose improvement was more than palpable with the arrival of the Madrid coach.

Cordero: "We have many ongoing negotiations"

The sports director of Granada wants to reassure the fans and, in passing, asks them to have a little patience to wait for the good players who are on the horizon. "We have many ongoing negotiations," said Cordero, who clarified that "from my own experience, I know that it is in August when we have to run, for now we have to be patient." Regarding the signings announced so far, especially referring to Musavu-King and Aridane Hernández, who are little known to the general public and have not played in the First Division, he recalled that "when you do not have economic power, you have to be ahead in the market and we have tried it once again."

He also specifically referred to Aridane, the Canary Islander center back, whom he said "fits into the working model that has led us to bring players like Ortuño, Yuste, or Jona in previous years, cases in which the club generates a surplus value because these players go to other teams and perform well." Regarding the future of the Canary Islander, he added that "the coach will see it day by day and decide if he stays. For now, Aridane is a player of the first team."

Musavu-King: "The best competition in the world is played in Spain"

Musavu-King said at his presentation, "I want to grow, improve as a footballer, and face the best players in the world." The new center back of Granada was presented this Friday by the rojiblanco sports director and admitted to the press that he feels prepared to debut in the First Division. "Competition exists everywhere, but I have faith in being able to play and I will prepare myself to be able to do it, but it is the coach who decides," said the Gambian international footballer. Musavu-King emphasized that the league "is a motivation for anyone. The best competition in the world is played in Spain, with the two best teams and the two best players." Highlighting his qualities as a defender, he emphasized his aerial play, anticipation, and that he "knows how to play the ball". He also said that he is a young defender with many aspects to improve and with great enthusiasm to surpass himself day by day.
