Arosa could challenge their Cup match against Granada

José Luis Míguez “Luisito”, Arosa coach, left in the hands of the club's directors the possibility of denouncing the possible improper alignment of Granada due to the ownership of goalkeeper Adri López, although he recalled that it is not something new because it already happened to Real Madrid in 2015.

“With fifteen minutes left the substitutes told me what was happening but I didn't pay attention because I was focused on the game. Now I spoke with the president and this issue will be taken up by the club's lawyer and the directors. If so, I feel very bad for Paco López because I believe that he was unaware of these regulations, but the law is for everyone,” he stated at a press conference.

Luisito is clear that if he were Manuel Abalo, president of the Galician club, he would go ahead with the complaint: “If we have the option of passing, we will have to file a complaint because the law is made for everyone. I am a coach, I am not a manager or anything, but if he were the president of the club he would denounce because it already happened to Real Madrid.” The Galician club argues that the visiting goalkeeper, with a record with Recreativo Granada, could not play according to the regulations as he was over 23 years old.

Regarding the match, he said he was “proud” of his players because they played “a great game,” and considered the final result (0-3) “excessive” because “Granada, a First Division team, had moments in which they had a very difficult time.” bad with 0-1.”

For his part, Paco López, Granada coach, did not hide his surprise at the possible improper alignment of his team against Arosa due to the ownership of the Granada goalkeeper.

“I don't have any news, I know what you know. This is an administrative issue, we won the game, which is what we had to do. That was our obligation, from there I can't say anything else,” he commented at a press conference.

The Valencian coach recalled that the subsidiary's goalkeeper already played last season in the Cup tie against Yeclano and then "nothing happened", so he does not know what is going to happen now.
