In:Manol Alguacil did not put anything in the victory of “Celta”.who believes he is superior throughout the game, even in the second half, after his triple substitution and the new system.The coach of Tsuriurdini regretted the absences of Zubimendi and Agerdi in the last minutes, but did not use them as an excuse.
Imanol congratulated “Celta” on the victory. “It’s time to congratulate a great opponent, Celta, who are very strong at home and who have beaten us at all levels. I have nothing to say, the players have tried what I told them, both in the first half and in the second, but they couldn’t create chances or stop them from having them, so that’s what I have to do. Congratulations to “Celtic”.
I respect Celta’s great game. I tried to change things up a bit during the break, but it was still better
Oriotsi insisted on giving the home team more credit than his own. “Yesterday I was told about the wins we had here and I said that there were some that came in very close games and that the small details decided the points. And today Celta were vastly superior and there is nothing wrong with saying that in. I insist on giving a higher level to Celta’s great game, which was very good in many ways, with great ball, and that’s why they won the game.”
Imanol made three changes at half-time and also tweaked the system, but it had no effect. “I tried to do a little bit of everything, show more speed in attack, adjust more in defense because we weren’t good with or without the ball and even though the game was a bit more even, there were; some crosses from us and in transitions, we couldn’t, they continued to be better both in duels and in technical actions. I don’t regret anything because we tried but it can’t be, I insist on congratulating Celta.
Zubimendi was suffering from back pain and had a bad night and Aguard was out at the last minute, they are important but there are no excuses.
The realistic coach explained the losses of Zubimendi and Aguard in the last minutes. “Martin was suffering from back pain. He told me yesterday that although he was upset, he thought he could make it, but he had a bad night and this morning said it was impossible. And Nayef was surprised, because he trained well all week, but today, when he came out to warm up, he told me that he was unable. I left him on the bench to see if he could do it in the second half, he tried but he couldn’t. They are two important players, but there are no excuses, Celta were superior.”
Imanol hopes his team will regain some of the strength it may have lacked today this Christmas. “These dates are always good to disconnect and relax, to be with the family. It’s done, I think it’s great, but let’s see if we can continue to grow, because if we do, we’ll have good things.”
