Birth of Javier Recio at Real Murcia
Javier Recio, Real Murcia’s sporting director, has been trying to sign a left-footed left winger for nine months and, although he failed in the summer and in the last winter window, the Madrid man is not rushing into attack. towel. Immediately after the humiliating defeat to Madrid Castilla (1-5), Pablo Alfaro, like a smokescreen, suddenly blurted out that “probably this week we will evaluate the options in the market to see the extreme ones.” Only 48 hours later, the Grana club announced that 31-year-old Dutchman Brandley Kuvasz would be tested at the next training session.
We will have to wait to see whether Javier Recio with Kuvasz will finally be able to “give birth” to the much-coveted left-footed striker, however, as has happened every time the Madrid native received the stripe for this position, the one from the Netherlands It is also not on 100% fits the profile wanted at Nueva Condomina and, according to the Transfermark website, the striker’s natural position is the right one. You just need to look at the player’s statistics. During his career, he played 413 games, of which only 12 were on the left wing, where Pablo Alfaro needed him.
After two transfer windows, Real Murcia may not be particularly interested now either, as they could only sign unemployed footballers, but just a few days before the start of March, the signing of a left winger and a left winger confirms the disastrous job done by Murcia’s sporting director in his first year at Nueva -Condominium.
Because the urgency Alfaro spoke of on Saturday is not new. It is enough to listen to some of the press conferences held by Javier Recio in July to see that already in the first weeks of his career as a player, the technical manager had already classified the arrival of a left-footed striker on the left flank as a priority.
But Recio, who some media said was missing the likes of Cayarga, Failez and Moyita, arrived on the final day of the market without having done his homework.
Sergio Navarro, seen and not seen
Moreover, the man from Madrid, who even thought about readapting Alex Rubio to this position, given the problems of attracting a player of the desired profile, closed this transfer window without doing his homework. Because although Real Murcia announced on September 1 the loan of Sergio Navarro from Leganes, neither his natural flank was left nor his good leg was his left leg. But the sports director, like those who have problems distinguishing between right and left, accepted the arrival of a football player who left the squad in January of this year after playing only 9 minutes in the red.
From September 1 to January 1, a period when clubs cannot sign players to contracts, neither did Recio, who arrived at the beginning of the winter market with the same priority and with different names on the table, but which January ended “fulfilled and without a boyfriend.”
With only Dani Vega, albeit a right-footer, at the left-winger position, Recio had to double the position to provide more speed and verticality, given that Carlos Rojas soon showed that he was a right-winger. Carlos Rojas, who increased his desire to sign Granas when he suffered a serious injury at the end of January.
Of the players mentioned, it was Álvaro Bustos who ended up at Recreativo, the one who met all the requirements required by Real Murcia, because the bet on Yeray Cabançon from Racing de Santander also did not correspond to what Granas needed. , During a game, a football player always walks along the flank or directly to the center.
Lauren Buron, another right-hander
Neither Alvaro Bustos, nor Yeray Cabanzon, nor Dani Aquino, Pablo Alfaro’s desired man, arrived. Only Lauren Buron was signed, and Lauren Buron is not left-handed either. In fact, upon his return to Nueva Condomina, he plays on the right wing.
And when it seemed that Real Murcia had already given up on signing a left-winger, Pablo Alfaro alerted everyone on Saturday, Pablo Alfaro, who after the 5-1 defeat to Castilla spoke of the need to sign a contract in order to have Alternatives in attack when, just two months ago, the club needed to cut its squad as much as possible to avoid having to deal with players unhappy about lack of minutes.
In the meantime, this week the coach will test Dutchman Brandley Kuvas, a 31-year-old player whose natural position is right winger and who ended his time at Turkish side Giresunspo in December. He also played for Israel’s Tel Aviv and played in Saudi Arabia for Al Nasr and Al Jazeera. He is not the first player under consideration by Murcia this season. Defender Roberto Corral was already tested in November last year, but Munua finally ruled out the possibility of his inclusion in the team.
