Moreover, a very active schedule especially for Giants, forced to change the main players and give them a break, so the results are not always good. During the summer break, Martinez called several very interesting players to the squad like experienced Roberto Soldado, who knows how to play in Spain well. Moreover, Granada brought several young and very perspective talents.
Unfortunately, Angel Montoro will miss due to injury and Yangel Herrera due to yellow card suspension.
