Vigo, Dec 19 (EFE).- Rafa Benítez, Celta coach, stated this Tuesday that with the victory against Granada they have “accelerated a little” but still not enough to move away from the dangerous zone of the qualifying table, in the which is also home to Villarreal, against whom they say goodbye to the year at the Estadio de la Cerámica.
“We are talking about a good team, good footballers and a good coach. They have a lot of quality in veteran and skilled players. They are injured and can react at any time,” he warned.
He gave as an example footballers like Morales, Parejo or Albiol because “they have a lot of experience and have demonstrated it for many years in the League”, but at the same time he recalled that the Castellón team is having a hard time “managing” its “difficult” situation in the League. board.
“They have a difficult situation that they did not expect,” said Benítez, for whom both teams have “similar things” in terms of the way they play and the organization on the field but with players with different characteristics.
“The footballers change your drawing and they are the ones who give it life,” said the veteran Celta coach, for whom in football what makes “the difference” is the result.
“When the team played well but didn’t win, we were always hopeful. Now that the team is not fit and maybe we have played a not so good game but the result favors us, people are saying finally,” he stressed.
However, Benítez is clear that his team needs to “continue accelerating” because it is still immersed in the relegation zone: “The pace is still not what we want to finally reach the goal where we want to be.” EFE
