Fabri's dismissal, as surprising as it is understandable

When I heard Sunday's dismissal as coach of Granada Fabri, I found it most surprising. For my head is passed the typical questions for these cases: What purpose did the club to return more than 30 years after a first? Not enough to be beyond the current downturn? What more could you require a coach that has taken them two years since the Second B to the elite of Spanish football?

The dismissals at this stage of the season are always very risky, and are not synonymous with success. Not only because come may be worse than they already are, but because sometimes it is not said its last word. Tell that to a Manolo Preciado last year, around this time, was practically in the street until a goal from Diego Castro in the discount granted an extension on the bench that still lasts. Tell that to a Pepe Mel who was on the brink after adding 1 point of a possible 30, and has now returned to take a run with Betis.

So after the amazing thing about the news and wanting to find a reason to dismiss a man who, nevertheless, remains a hero in Granada, I began to fathom today the Andalusian club to reach the conclusion that, probably, the decision was as hard as adequate.

All indications are that the conduct of the costume he had gotten out of hand a Fabri already two weeks ago at a press conference noted the attitude of his players . It was after the 1-2 defeat to Rayo Vallecano:

"We must be aware that we have a hobby that is exemplary and extraordinary and we must learn to compete for it [...] Every minute of every workout is for something, not to fulfill the record and be able to collect at the end of the month [...] No I like the lawless players that go to your ball. There is a script to be carried out and, within a certain freedom, talented players come from the order. "

Statements may be true, but very hard. So hard that they have ended up back against a locker room that surely would have liked a fight of this magnitude is not made ​​in a press conference, but also in the locker room. Quique Pina, chairman of Granada, was confirmed Last night on "The party of 12 ' :

"His statements against the players last week were not successful and created a bad atmosphere [...] The costume was against Fabri statements made last week [...] It's never good to talk about the players at a press conference [... ] Out of respect I do not have internal things that have happened. "

So we're not talking about the technical capabilities as Fabri, loss problems in the workforce, or the apparent lack of scoring the team. We're talking about a bad atmosphere palpable, a Fabri had lost the support of several of his players. Can you cut the root problem has been the most intelligent. We know what can happen in these cases. Not the first time players are not delivered to the maximum until the coach is fired.

Can not overlook the great good that Fabri has done to this club. Two years have sufficed to win the affection of the fans. Two years with two promotions, from Segunda B to First. Hard Abel Resino ballot will now have to overcome the bar of his predecessor. A Abel Resino certainly was not the first choice of Granada. Anquela was the favorite, but failed to disentangle the Alcorcón. You see, from a first time depositor confidence in Abel ...
