Changing of the guard at the Celtic. The leader of the rear and the one in the center of the field have lost the status of untouchables. Jeison murillo and Renato Tapia did not enter the starting eleven against him Alaves and for the first time they were substitutes by technical decision of Eduardo Coudet.
Of these two absences in the lineup, the most surprising was that of the Peruvian midfielder. Last season, both with Óscar García and with El Chacho, Tapia played at the start in the 32 games he was available. This campaign had happened the same except against the Real society, I find something came to just physically after coming out of injury.
After missing the previous day due to sanction, it was taken for granted that the Lima-born was going to regain his position in Vitoria. However, Coudet chose to keep Fran Beltran already Denis Suarez. The Madrilenian and Salceda de Caselas formed a tandem for 56 minutes. When it started to snow, and Alavés was dominating at the start of the second half, Tapia appeared replacing the celestial youth squad and Celta did not take long to regain command in the center of the field.
More ballots had Murillo to lose his immunity. In the two previous days, in front of Barcelona and Villarreal, El Chacho had replaced him with Nestor Araújo and on both occasions the change from Mexican to Colombian worked. The Aztec had earned the opportunity to be the couple of Joseph Aidoo from the initial beep and on Mendizorroza he took advantage of it.
The Ghanaian and Araújo performed at a very high level against Alavés. Nor was Murillo out of tune. The coffee grower entered in the 84th minute to play with a line of three centrals andhe avoided the local goal by providentially deflecting a shot from John Guidetti. The defender on loan from the Sampdoria he had never initially sat on the bench with Coudet and his only substitution dated back to Oscar’s stage.
The Colombian international and the Peruvian now have to win a place again in the eleven and their new alternates tag places them as clear candidates to enter the starting lineup this Tuesday in the Copa del Rey. Celta will face in La Romareda al Ebro and before the Aragonese group of Second RFEF Everything indicates that players like Jose Fontán, Okay Yokuslu, Augusto Solari, Franco Cervi, Thiago Galhardo, the goalkeeper Ruben White and Hugo Mallo, which will reappear after being out due to injury.
