Alcoyano faces a tough Saturday visit without the Rose Garden. Pablo Ganet, born in Malaga, is a midfielder for the Equatorial Guinea national team who was called to join the squad for the Liberia trip on Monday, November 20. The Blue and White midfielder holds dual nationality due to his father’s origins in an African country. He trained in the Malaga club’s youth academy and experienced two different stages there. After progressing to the junior team, he joined Fuengirola and was recruited to play for Betis’ youth squad. He later returned to Malaga to represent the subsidiary under Salva Ballesta during the 2013–14 campaign.
Ganet did not fit into Bernd Schuster’s plans with the Andalusian outfit, so he chose to broaden his career abroad in Morocco with Ittihad Tangier, where he captured a league title. His professional journey extended across Europe, Africa, and Asia, including a stint with Kuwait’s Kazma. He arrived at Deportivo in the last week of August this summer, transitioning from Murcia, and contributed to the team with a key promotion goal for the federation competition.
Vicente Parras rejects the idea of Alcoyano playing with two strikers
Ganet’s situation raised questions about the team’s attacking approach as the summer market highlighted him as a potential star in the dressing room. Another Malaga native on the squad, Cristian Aguero, however, was never part of Alcoyano’s core plans. Coach Vicente Parras clarified the team’s formation strategy, emphasizing balance and solidity in the frontline. He also confirmed the dismissal of center Álvaro Vega after a three-match suspension following an altercation with Algeciras at El Collao last week. These decisions reflect a focus on discipline and tactical cohesion as the season progresses.
Parras’s approach aims to preserve defensive stability while seeking efficient contributions from the forward line. The coaching staff continues to evaluate options and encourage players to adapt to the manager’s philosophy. The outcome of this strategy will unfold over the coming fixtures as Alcoyano strives to maintain form and competitiveness in the league.
