Osasuna revives Celta’s weaknesses

Jagoba Arrasate’s blackboard and match reading ruined Celtapowerless to face the rojilla supremacy. Benítez’s team was the shadow of a solid team in the pre-season. Once again, he aroused suspicion in the airplay and was unimaginative with the ball at his feet.

His best chance came after a mistake by Montaola in midfield allowed Larsen to make a quick counterattack. The young Norwegian striker did everything well, but his left-footed shot went too far. Aspas’ friend still has no target.

This came when the far superior Osasuna took control of the scoreboard for the first 45 minutes. Arrasate won the tactical battle against Benítez, who also denounced his team by placing Argentine winger Franco Cervi as left-back and leaving Peruvian international Renato Tapia, the most physically and powerful midfielder, on the bench.

The Basque coach had the upper hand in the creation zone, behind the young Hugo Sotelo. Beltrán couldn’t resist the rojillo thrust. To this was added that each lateral center in the Galician region became a threat to the azure defense, which was very fragile in the air. Budimir was the first to hit the goal. The Croatian international dropped a cross from Moncaola with his chest, straightened his body and was out of the game. a powerful shot hitting the crossbar In front of Iván Villar’s gaze.

Celta did not respond and they faced another ball hanging in their area at 20 minutes: Budimir took advantage of the mismatch between Mingueza and Aidoo, but He blocked the header between Iván Villar and the crossbar. The refusal fell on Rubén García and he did not fail.

0-1 damaged Celta. His attackers were missing and Catena had 0-2 with another headshot that shows the fragility of his opponent’s territory. Benítez recognized this and therefore hastened the arrival of Swedish defender Carl Starfelt.

before the break, Larsen had the equalizer but a strong gallop passed from the left to the left. Celta improved in the second half. Budimir scored a goal for Bamba from under the sticks as soon as the match restarted.

Osasuna lost its importance in the creation realm and Aspas can match, but the Spanish international player lacks the spark of the old one. A bad gap from Mojica landed on his feet, but just before arming his leg, he slowly gave Moncayola time to unbalance. His shot failed. He tried again later, but with the same luck.

Benitez moved the bench. Introduced Miguel Rodríguez and Gabri gave Veiga twenty minutes., the protagonist who suffered from permanence last season. A recent example where the international sub-21 is a step up from Napoli. However, as soon as the young player takes the field, Osasuna Penalized by Moi Gómez’s goal. Benítez has a lot of work to do and his team is screaming for reinforcements. The first day of the course was another blow to the Celtic illusion.
