Tafter the premature announcement of his assignment to Granada, Collado revived old ghosts again, but finally the operation could be closed: “I have been calm with my family and eager to be able to debut, as it was the other day, so great.”
An rojiblanco interest that already existed last summer and that has been decisive for the player to opt for the Granada: “There was already interest in preseason, I spoke with the coach, but he didn’t give himself the opportunity to come. It’s the most important thing for a player, that gives you confidence and, in part, that’s why I’m here”, he confessed.
Already before his presentation, Collado was able to feel like a footballer again after several months without being able to compete : “It is a situation that I would not wish on any footballer, it has been a difficult year, it influences you a lot because what a player wants is for the weekend to come and to be able to show there its performance. It has been complicated, but I have seen the positive things, I have worked more than before. Now I’m happy and wanting to show my full potential at Granada.”
“The group really wants to improve”
Collado has already had the opportunity to train and meet his new teammates: “I am very happy with how everyone has received me, They have made life easier for me. I’ve had the opportunity to train with them, it’s a good group with a lot of desire to improve together and get together.”
With a common past in Barça, the figure of Robert Moreno has been decisive for Collado to decide to land in Los Cármenes: “I have a good relationship with Robert He is a very good person as well as a great coach. I have come here largely for him. He called me at the beginning of the preseason when I was going to Bruges, but I want to focus on the present, we had a conversation and he told me what he was looking for and the interest he had in me. Now I’m here and that’s the important thing”, the Sabadell player stressed.
“I had never left Barça, I didn’t know what was waiting for me”
Raised in La Masía, Collado will now have to demonstrate his potential away from the Barça team: “He had never left the Barça, I didn’t know what was waiting for me, what has surprised me the most is the closeness that everyone has, workers, players and coaching staff, I feel super loved and that is appreciated”.
Collado was able to live his first game as a rojiblanco and he did it against the team of his entire life: “The feeling is strange, you play against the team where you have been all your life and after so many months without competing. The feeling is to go back to childhood and be thankful for everything I’ve been through to be able to live that moment of happiness.”
Now, Collado will have to try to find a place in the eleven from Granada, where he will find tough competition, although the winger is clear about his virtues : “I can bring personality, work and, from then on, I play well on the pitch Between the lines, I can make the last pass and I have a good shot.”
