Portuguese Carlos Carvalhal, Celta’s coach, assured this Friday that they will face the match against Espanyol “without revenge” despite the elimination of the cup against the Catalan team, which, he pointed out, the ” same need” as his team to add three points.
“There is no spirit of revenge, I don’t have that in my character and I have not talked about it with the players,” said the Celta coach in his address to reporters, who, however, said that they “learned” from that game he missed in overtime.
“The Spanish have an interesting team, well organized, many good players, mainly from the midfield upwards. We have to be at the best level to get the three points”, he warned.
Despite his team’s recent good results, which have taken a five-point lead over relegation, Carvalhal understands that the match is “very important” because a win would mean leaving direct rivals like Espanyol behind by seven points, as in addition to ensuring “objective -average” specifically.
“We are at a point that satisfies us but we want more and for that we have to remain consistent. There is no big difference in points between the teams, LaLiga is very difficult”, he said.
He confirmed that Iago Aspas is “one hundred percent” recovered from the feverish process that prevented him from training for two days with the group and downplayed the presence of Denis Suárez, a sky-blue player until last January, in Spanish.
“Now, with the means of analysis, it is not an advantage to know him from here. He is technical, he gives Espanyol quality, but we focus on the rival team, which is strong,” he said.
