Athletic go into their appointment tomorrow against Celta in Balaídos with qualification for the Cup semifinals just recently and four consecutive league games without a win. Valverde is clear about the importance of this match for the Bilbao team. The rojiblanco coach, by the way, hopes that he can count on the contest of Iñaki Williams despite the fact that he has been suffering from physical discomfort since last Thursday.
“We are forced in this game. Celta also because they are in a compromised situation. We have not won four games in the competition and we want to win again. We have high morale and we need points. For us, for them now all the teams playing today”, assured Valverde.
The Athletic coach does not consider that the urgency of achieving victories is greater for the team from Vigo this time: “Celta is a team with football, which creates opportunities. Recently they make up less than they did in the beginning. They have suffered There have been some setbacks recently. A team that deals well in matches, is always on the verge of winning the match and in the end does not succeed”.
Focusing on the characteristics of the rival, Valverde also said that “Celta is a team that from midfield forward always makes you very dangerous. Aspas is always there, he remains incredible, now with Gabri Veiga, who is a good player. They have arguments to hurt you. We have to try to stay in the game, above all to impose our game and insist that its flaws are more visible than its qualities.
Regarding the possibility of betting on a massive round tomorrow, the Athletic coach insisted that “we have an identity, they have theirs. Sometimes it is convenient to change the third depending on who you face and how you face. Now we are from three years ago game days and we’ll see. Everyone has to put what they have on the field. I don’t think they’re leaving anything out because of the situation they’re in and obviously we don’t also because we want the three points.”
