Celta faces the match with the significant loss of Iago Aspas, one of its most decisive players. “It is an important loss for them. Celta, since Giráldez has arrived, I really like the style and the proposal of young people from the quarry. It is a reference that one looks to learn from. The loss of Aspas does not change the analysis “Everyone is performing at a very high level,” he said.
“I expect an offensive Celta to the maximum with very well-worked mechanisms. Tomorrow we will have to defend very well to be able to score but we have to put ourselves out there. “We will both want to take the game to the offensive side,” he noted.
The Navarrese coach also spoke about LaLiga’s decision to change the schedule of the next matchday against Osasuna due to the Copa del Rey matchup against the Royal Society.
“Unfortunately we live in a whirlwind of games, a lot of competitions and there has been a change that affects the fan. We, who are less affected, are less damaged and I feel that that is not going to change. We have to adapt to survive in this football world that we face,” he confessed.
About that cup match against Real Sociedad in Anoeta He admitted that he would have “loved to experience a game at home” because of the good times they are going through. “It would have been very nice but adaptation is vital. La Real is a complex team that is excited about the Cup. We will go to win and go through. We beat them on the first day and we still have that aftertaste,” he said.
Iñigo Pérez also spoke about the role he has taken, unexpectedly, as the club’s official spokesperson, being the only one who offers public press conferences and is asked about delicate matters such as the case of James Rodriguez.
