Myrto Uzuni Opens Up About Granada Departure: “They Closed the Door on Me Without Respect”

After the League championship in the united States,the MLS,Myrto Uzuni spends a few days in Albania. For him, his family is fundamental and not … He has been able to enjoy the presence of his partner and his son as much as he wanted, a little one who is not yet a year old. Still hurt by his departure from Granada, especially with its leaders, he continues to consider the club as his home. From his country he attends to IDEAL, the media that revealed the Austin offer and advanced the closing and amount of the operation. It is the first interview after his departure last January.

-Do you miss Granada?

-Lot. I was very happy there. I was happy, I had a feeling of belonging and I noticed on the street that people loved me. There was a lot of love for me in the city.

-He seemed to have it all, success as a footballer and recognition as a person…

-Exactly, it was the most significant thing. My only problem was with the property, with the leaders.

-Have you returned to the city after leaving?

-Not yet. I have only gone from the United States to Albania to see my family or play with my team.

-I imagine that Granada fans will write to you on social networks.

-Clear. Lot. I was very sad to leave. The leaders didn’t even let me take a photo in the stadium as a farewell. They sent me to a security guy when I tried and he told me, at the request of Alfredo (García Amado), that only my representative could go up to the offices. They closed the door on me without respect. They wanted 12 million for me, and they got it.

-He still seems hurt.

-we are all human. They gave me a price. They bought me for 3.5 and sold me for 12. I think I was Granada’s best player during the presidency of Sophia (Yang) and the management of Alfredo (García Amado). It bothered me not to be able to say goodbye to the fans.

“I left with my head held high because I won a lot with granada and on top of that I left millions”

-How was the operation from your point of view?

-My clause was 12 million,but I had had other offers from clubs: AEK Atenas,Getafe or Villarreal… Granada never wanted to negotiate and demanded the full clause. When I was already talking to Austin to get this amount, I offered to stay on the team at least until January 31. This was before the Copa del Rey match against Getafe, I wanted to help in the remainder of that month. Alfredo explained to me that he had already planned my replacement, which was Stoichkov, so I didn’t have the prospect to say goodbye on the field like a normal person, who won so much. They didn’t wont me here anymore.

Yangel Herrera Reflects on Granada Departure, Fan Reaction, and Potential return

Venezuelan midfielder Yangel Herrera recently opened up about his controversial departure from Granada CF, detailing the difficult relationship with the club and the negative reaction from some fans. In a candid interview,Herrera explained his perspective on the situation,emphasizing his value to the team and his desire for fair treatment. He also expressed a strong desire to return to Granada as a player in the future.

-The fans turned against you.

“For me it was very hard. They called me a rat and I don’t think I deserved it. It was the moment when I no longer wanted to continue, but at least I wanted to say goodbye well and I couldn’t. I was like a car that, after four years, instead of being worth less, you get three times as much out of it. I left a lot of money to Granada when I was 30 years old. I highly doubt that the club will be able to get that much again for someone my age. Bryan Zaragoza came out,for whom they also got a lot,but younger than me,never with someone so old. I left with my head held high as I won a lot with Granada and on top of that I left millions. I am convinced that the club did not really want to renew me. They wanted to use me as a slave. I don’t accept being used, I wanted to be valued, for things to be correct. People adored me in Granada. Sometimes I was with the family having dinner and I always took time to take a photo with each fan who approached. In a shopping center he could spend 50 on me. He had respect for everyone. This is why I miss Granada so much, 100%. I felt like a king and I will return one day as a player.”

-Are you going to return to the team?

“120%, and as a footballer. When I was at Ferencvaros, in Budapest, my family was happy and I felt like I was in Granada, it was similar, in a bigger city, to…”
