[Sport]Granada de Machís and Herrera will resume the European adventure against Napoli

[WilkerCSBD]

Granada receives this Thursday at the Nuevo Los Cármenes stadium Napoli in the first leg of the round of 32 of the Europa League, in an appointment that is the most important game in its history and a springboard to try to extend its already memorable first experience in continental competition.

 
The Andalusian team arrives at the crossroads in full emergency with only fourteen players from the first team available, after having passed three previous qualifiers and having been second in their group, with only one defeat suffered in the nine games played in the competition.

Granada is currently not going through a good moment in terms of results, having accumulated five consecutive league games without winning and having been eliminated in the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey by Barcelona.

However, the expectation and enthusiasm are highest due to the competitiveness shown in all the matches by the team, the good image offered despite losing last Saturday to Atlético Madrid and the fact of being before a historic European appointment.

Granada coach Diego Martínez has recovered French midfielder Maxime Gonalons and Venezuelan midfielder Yangel Herrera for the first leg against Napoli, two key players in his schemes who had not been able to play for several games, although he has outstanding and important low.

They will miss the game due to injury, except for miraculous and unforeseen recovery of some of them, the medium Luis Milla and the forwards Roberto Soldado and the Colombian Luis Suárez.

In addition, until the last minute it will be doubtful the half Ángel Montoro, who has been in cotton for discomfort in one knee all week and who would be replaced in the starting eleven by the Cameroonian Yan Eteki if he is not a starter in the end.

With Jorge Molina as the offensive reference as he is the only healthy forward and Jesús Vallejo accompanying the Portuguese Domingos Duarte in the center of the defense against the loss of Germán, the only doubt in the rojiblanco eleven is on the right-hand side with the possibility of him playing Víctor Díaz or the French Dimitri Foulquier.

Diego Martínez's men will receive a Napoli in full emergency, which arrives at Nuevo Los Cármenes with just fourteen players from the first team at their disposal and up to nine illustrious casualties.

The coach Gennaro Gattuso cannot count on the Colombian goalkeeper David Ospina, the Greek Kostas Manolas, the Senegalese Kalidou Koulibaly, the Albanian Elseid Hysaj, the Algerian Faouzi Ghoulam, in defense, the German Diego Demme, in the center of the field, nor with the Mexican Hirving Lozano, the Belgian Dries Mertens and Andrea Petagna, up front.

The long series of casualties complicates the work of a team that has lived up to this moment a season marked by ups and downs, with high-level matches, such as the defeat at Atalanta or the last victory achieved against Juventus, and others seriously insufficient.

Of course, Gattuso was able to recover the Spanish Fabián Ruiz after several weeks of absence due to the coronavirus and the Nigerian Victor Osimhen, a forward paid 70 million last summer who offers him power and speed.

It will go through his offensive success and through the technique and spark of Lorenzo Insigne and Matteo Politano, fast wingers that will complete the trident, the possibility of Napoli to go out with goals in favor of the European appointment this Thursday.

The Neapolitan team seeks this year to reach the end in the continental competition, a tournament that it already conquered in 1989 with the Argentine Diego Armando Maradona as the protagonist.
