This Sunday’s Betis – Celta will capture the attention of thousands and thousands of Betis fans at the Benito Villamarín. It will also catch the two teams in contention that this afternoon will duel with the desire to get the three points in dispute. He knows it perfectly Claudio Giráldezlike his namesake on the bench, Pellegrini, who have already made their pertinent statements before the ball rolls, and those of the light blue coach do not leave anyone indifferent because he freely expresses what he thinks about the state of form of the green and white team , with whom he hopes to have a positive result for his team.
“I think we can compete perfectly against Betis in their field and beat them,” said Giráldez in his public appearance one day before the matchday 13 clash of LaLiga EA Sports. «We are going to try to plan matches in a common way between home and away, where we have to be brave, purposeful. If we are able to qualify these area situations or not be affected by goals against in away games, we will become a more complete team,” he warned.
The Pontevedra coach is by no means unaware of the offensive flow of a Betis team that has created many chances in games like those against Atlético or Osasuna, the last victory on the domestic level. The Galician coach did not want to shy away from this: «Hopefully it will be a close match in which we dominatewe are in the last third of the field and they cannot run. That is what we always want to happen and more so against a team with as much talent and as much ability to run as Betis, with players like Abde, Roque, Chimy, Diao,” he listed.
«Betis? It has a more vertical component than other years.”
Giráldez also had words for Borja Iglesias who continues on loan in the celestial discipline, and of whom this newspaper has reported on the extension of his contract: «He has nothing to prove, he simply has to give us the level that he is giving us in the matches that he has been on the field of play with us and provide that maturity and stability that he also brings to us, not only in what can be seen directly,” stressed the Celta coach. Consider precisely the Pontevedra that Pellegrini’s team is “a team with a lot of capacity to do damage from the outside, with Abde at a very good level this year, who is generating the difference in that left profile of one against one and with players at defensive level to defend at any height in midfield. It is a talented team that this year, for me, It has a more vertical component than other years. Also united by the injury of Isco and Lo Celso, which takes away that engaging player that makes them even more vertical,” he stated.
