The coach of Almeria, Gaizka Garitanothis friday described the visit to Celtica rival taking twelve points off them and marking the relegation threshold, and saying that if they “have any life left it’s through this match”, so they go to Bleeding “to win” because they are “three games away from safety with eleven to go.”
“Things would look totally different. When I arrived the situation was what it was and we haven’t talked much about accounts or mathematics, but about going game by game,” said the Biscayan coach this Thursday at a press conference, who considered, under the Andalusian team with 9 points and not yet won this season, “looking at the classification” will not help them “too much.”
Garitano assured that the Almeriadespite the situation, “the lost spirit” is “never” present and, although “it’s true that it weighs when you don’t win” and they haven’t done it for many years, “the team spirit is good and the being it’s competitive, and he needs that victory, which this week will be very important for everyone.”

“For me, this is a major match, where the players know that this is our way of continuing to breathe and we have to go and win. We are already advanced in the competition and we have to be realistic. At the level of scoring we are very low, but also the other teams, so it seems that not too many points will be needed for safety,” he commented.
