The news of Granero's retirement has hardly made any waves. After all, the Spanish player has never been a top star, and his fame is far from loud. Although he has played for the veteran giants Real Madrid, because of the untimely reasons, Granero is at best a real Madrid frustrated person, and his career is far from brilliant.
However, fame can never be equated with character. The lack of fame does not mean that Granero is not worth remembering. On the contrary, the Real Madrid frustrated man definitely deserves respect.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > real Madrid frustrated people who were not born at the right time </h1>
Granero was born in Madrid on 2 July 1987. Because of the influence of the environment, he fell in love with football at a young age, fell in love with Real Madrid, and became a member of the Real Madrid youth training camp.
Among players of his own age, Granero is definitely an outstanding presence. As evidence, before Messi joined La Masia, the Barca ladder led by Pique was repeatedly frustrated in front of Granero, until Messi appeared, which turned the situation around.
Talented but Messi is not ashamed, with his outstanding performances in the Real Madrid academy, Granero was called up in the first team of Real Madrid in 2006, when he was 19 years old.
At this time, the Real Madrid first team, although not a heyday, also has a large number of first-tier stars. In the middle of the midfield alone, there are famous players such as Guti, David Beckham and Emerson. If Granero wants to stand out, he must win the battle with these people. But for a 19-year-old rookie, is this a difficult word to describe?
As a result, Granero temporarily bid farewell to Real Madrid, went to Getafe on loan, and played a dazzling performance. In the 2008–09 season, Granero, in his early 20s, had already paid a list of five goals and eight assists.
This made Real Madrid re-aware of Granero's abilities, recalling him to the Santiago Bernabeu stadium in the summer of 2009. But this summer, Real Madrid introduced the famous Xavi Alonso in granero's best position, which doomed Granero to play as a substitute, and only played 13 La Liga games in a season, which was quite embarrassing.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="10" > defended Uncle Bird in frustration under Mourinho </h1>
A year later, Mourinho joined the Bernabeu. Uncle Bird is very fond of the local player who will do his best as long as he plays, giving Granero a lot of playing time, although he did not enter the main squad, but it can also be regarded as a major rotation.
Considering Xavi Alonso's age, if Granero continues to follow this trend, there is actually no small opportunity to succeed Javi Alonso. But at this juncture, the injury found Granero again, so that he could only be regarded as a rotating player, completely fell out of Mourinho's rotation lineup, and only 3 appearances were recorded in the entire 2011-12 season.
In the summer of 2012, Real Madrid brought in Modric, which made Granero's situation at Real Madrid more and more embarrassing. As a result, the Spanish player simply chose to leave the Bernabeu and became a loser for Real Madrid.
To be sure, Granero's frustration under Mourinho is not Uncle Bird's problem. On the one hand, at that time, Real Madrid already had Xavi Alonso, and the inferior Granero really could not play the main force; on the other hand, no coach could control such a thing as injury, and Mourinho naturally could not insist on sending him out under the premise of Granero's injury.
However, not everyone can understand Mourinho. For example, Real Madrid star Guti openly shelled Uncle Bird: "Granero is much stronger than Essien, he is still A spaniard." ”
Guti's Essin is the product of Granero's departure. Strictly speaking, Essien's style of play is far from Granero's, and he did not come to replace Granero, but to replace Las Diarra.
Guti's shelling made Mourinho bear a lot of pressure, and many media followed and clamored, believing that Mourinho was nepotistic, which forced Granero away.
At this juncture, Granero, who was frustrated under Mourinho, took the initiative to stand up for Uncle Bird. He publicly stated that Uncle Bird did not want him to go, and he was extremely grateful to Mourinho.
Feelings are mutual, and Mourinho loves Granero as well. The outspoken Portuguese coach once publicly stated that Granero was his lifelong best friend.
Being able to take the initiative to defend the coach in the absence of playing time, it is not difficult to see Granero's character, which is definitely worthy of respect.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="21" > also helped Wu Lei </h1>
After leaving the beloved Bernabeu, the Real Madrid frustrated man began his own wandering journey, leaving his footprints in the Queen's Park Rangers, Real Sociedad, Espanyol and other teams.
In his days with Espanyol, he became a teammate with Our player Wu Lei. The veteran real Madrid player with excellent character not only did not show any discrimination, but took the initiative to help Wu Lei to help the newcomer integrate into the team.
In the game, Granero is also willing to help Wu Lei, and it is often seen that Granero sends a second pass for Wu Lei. Wu Lei's first assist in La Liga was completed under Granero's pass, which is very meaningful.
In addition, Granero will not skimp on his praise for Wu Lei in front of the media, which is quite a big brother style.
Granero's care will naturally be looked at by Wu Lei. After Granero left Espanyol. Wu Lei expressed his gratitude to Granero on social media.
I don't know if it is a coincidence or an inevitability, after Granero left espanyol, Wu Lei's situation in the team was a lot more embarrassing...
As for Granero, after leaving Espanyol, he moved to the unknown Marbella as a free agent, and just one season later, the news of his retirement was announced.
Looking at Granero's career, the most significant label on him is probably the Real Madrid frustrated man. However, even if the court is frustrated, it has not changed Granero's good character, whether it is defending Uncle Bird or helping Wu Lei, it is an act worthy of respect.
I wish Granero, after hanging up his boots, he can enjoy his life to the fullest. I hope that the ill-fated Real Madrid sufferers from the player's era will have a happy and happy life journey.
