Edna Imade and Granada CF are enjoying a great moment. The Nigerian striker has found her place in the Liga F and her name is sounding louder and louder. After a complicated last season, where the team fought until the end for the permanence, this season seems to be different. Granada CF have established themselves in the First Division and Edna has been one of the keys to this leap in quality.
With eight goals so far this season, Edna Imade is the third top scorer in Liga F, equal with Alexia Putellas and only behind Ewa Pajor, both from FC Barcelona. Her performance is not only measured by goals, but also by how she teams up with her team-mates. The golden duo is formed with Laura Pérez, who is currently the top assists player in the championship, with nine assists. Many of them have gone to Edna, and together they form one of the most dangerous strikers in Spanish women’s football.
Edna’s ability to adapt has been key. She arrived at Granada after scoring 20 goals in two seasons with Cáceres, but the Women’s First Division is a different level. Despite the difficulty, Edna has already found her place in the Nazarí team. Her speed and ability to get out wide have made her a headache for opposing defences. In addition, her constant pressure on the pitch makes her a player who contributes not only in attack, but also in defence.
Arturo Ruiz, coach of Granada since this season, has been crucial in this explosion of Edna Imade. Since her arrival, he has placed his trust in her and has given her a key role in the team’s tactical scheme. Working with the coach has allowed Edna to improve tactically and continue to grow as a player. That confidence has been evident in every game, where Edna has become more mature and self-assured.
It is clear that Granada have taken a step forward this season. The team, which last year was virtually saved on the last matchday, now finds itself in eighth place, a comfortable position in the table. The 5-0 win over Deportivo La Coruña is just one example of what this team is capable of. Edna, with a goal in that thrashing, was again an important part of that result.
What stands out most about Edna Imade is her perseverance and hard work. No one has given her anything for free. Her rise to professional football has been the result of hard work and perseverance. Despite her success, she is still a player who is always looking for something to improve, something that says a lot about her as a footballer. It should be noted that she is only 24 years old and has a great future ahead of her. She is not lacking in qualities.
Granada, a year after their promotion, are enjoying football with very clear ideas and a very attacking style of play. Edna is undoubtedly one of the pillars on which this growth is built. The Nigerian striker remains an unpredictable player. Her speed, her ability to score and assist, and her tireless work rate make her a key player for her team.
As the season progresses, it is hard not to imagine Edna striving for more. With her current form, she could end up being one of the top scorers in Liga F. Moreover, if Granada continue to grow as they have done so far, it would not be unusual to see this team fighting for an even higher place in the table.
Edna Imade is here to stay and, with her, Granada seem to have one of the most promising strikers in women’s football.
