The Real Madrid Sporting Director is happy with the recent performances of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Esteban-Granero-c12919 who was linked with a move away from the club just a fortnight ago.
Granero had been marginalized in Real Madrid setup in the opening half of the 2011/12 La Liga season; however, his outings for Real Madrid have increased since the onset of New Year.
With http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sami-Khedira-c32325 sidelined for up to three weeks, the academy graduate was given a chance to cement his place in the starting eleven.
The 24-year-old made a paltry 7 appearances before the start of 2012, but he has featured prominently in Real’s last four matches. He was on the pitch for the duration of the match against Real Zaragoza at the Santiago Bernabeu, receiving
a standing ovation from the home crowd.
Commenting on Granero’s increased first team minutes, Miguel Pardeza was happy for the Madrid-born player. He voiced his support for the former Getafe player and reflected that with more game-time, he hopes the best out of the Spaniard
will be unearthed.
"He has emerged in recent games and is gaining confidence," he stated.
Real Madrid comprehensively beat Real Zaragoza despite stumbling in the first quarter hour. Los Manos scored against the run of player which left Madrid trailing in the first half hour of the match. However, their supremacy was on show
as they came from behind to win the match 3-1.
Kaka opened the scoring just after the half-hour mark, while http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629 put the Capital club in the driving seat three minutes after the restart. It was then Mesut Ozil who finished an all round performance with an excellent goal
in the 55th minute.
Analyzing the match, Pardeza was happy with the performance of the squad and hailed Los Blancos’ excellent record in La Liga. Los Blancos have won 15 of their last 17 league games as they continue their assault in La Liga.
The Real Madrid executive also had kind words for Zaragoza and appreciated their work in front of goal.
“We played the game today after facing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604, which was exhausting emotionally and physically, and is taxing in the long run.”
“Zaragoza also played well in the match and found themselves with an early goal," he said.
With Jose Mourinho’s men tasting victory at the expense of Los Manos, they have a lead of 7 points at the top of La Liga table.
