The Spanish midfielder was rarely given a chance to prove himself last season; however, he has stated that he wants to continue and grow at the Spanish club.
Last season Jose Mourinho helped Real Madrid break http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604’s dominance on Spanish football. Los Blancos were able to win the Spanish La Liga title and even reached the semi-final stage of the UEFA Champions League.
Real Madrid were able to impress throughout the last season. The Whites, while playing under Jose Mourinho, showed the world what they are capable of, and with phenomenal players in the team, Madrid were not only able to win the Spanish La Liga; in fact, they also impressed during the UEFA Champions League.
Real Madrid qualified for the semi-final of the prestigious tournament, but they suffered a loss at the hands of Bayern Munich, who eventually lost to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 in the final.
While Real Madrid were impressive throughout their campaign, there was one player in the team who was rarely given a chance to shine in the first-team - http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Esteban-Granero-c12919. He gave a few off-the-bench performances for the Spanish champions, but never really took a first-team position throughout the campaign.
Real Madrid have a lot of competition in the middle of the park and there is no doubt that with players such as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ricardo-c30950 Kaka, Angel Di Maria and Mesut Ozil in the team, a player like Granero would rarely get a chance to play.
However, before the start of the next season, Granero has spoken about his fortune to grow as a player in the team.
While speaking to the press, Granero said:
"I want to continue growing and to establish myself in the team.”
"I have not thought about leaving and I have not thought about just continuing with the same role within squad. I want to play a more key role, as do all footballers.”
"That is why I train and that is what I am going to try to achieve. I have high hopes of creating a spot for myself and being an important part of the team. I face the season with many enthusiasm, eager to learn."
Real Madrid will be kick starting their season against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863 in August.
