• Report.Travel to the town of Iago Aspas: a Porsche, lunch with the mother-in-law and departure with the gang

Each of the signings that Celta has announced during this market has been accompanied by a phrase that has already become the motto of the new season in Balaidos: "This goes from the heart." It is a summary of the philosophy that the Carlos Mouriño board has tried to instill and work during these months. An idea born from the mistakes of the disastrous past course. Appeal to the heart and feelings to recover, club and hobby, of an approach to hell only avoided by the goals and the famous tears of Iago Aspas. That heartbroken cry of the moañés on the bench of Balaidos after going back to Villarreal toured half-world televisions, reconciled the stands with the team and reminded the celestial dome of the way forward for the new project.

That cry of Aspas "went from the heart" and his fruitful return to Vigo from Liverpool, via Seville, has been the example to convince other celestial quarries who left the ship, by their own decision or the club, that it was time to return. The first was Denis Suarez , who after a bad experience in Arsenal and not finding his place in Barcelona, ​​rejected more important offers economically to try to relaunch his career at home. The Galician midfielder left the quarry of A Madroa in 2011, with only 17 years, being the biggest promise of the lower categories and leaving only one million euros in the Vigo ark. Mouriño has always recognized that it is the sale that has hurt most of his time as president, forced by a Bankruptcy Law that drowned the club for years and kept him in Second for several seasons. Denis was the great sacrifice of that stage.

The club grew over the years and arrived in Europe with the peace of mind of having a defined style with Eduardo Berizzo on the bench. With the Argentine coach Santi Mina , a child prodigy of A Madroa, exploded that, after being one of the revelations of the 14-15 League, four goals to Rayo in the same game included, he signed with Jorge Mendes and decided to pay his clause of termination (10 million) to go to Valencia. In Mestalla he alternated scoring streaks with injuries and found it difficult to make a hole in the eleven on a regular basis. The interest of the Levantine team in Maxi Gómez accelerated his return to Vigo four years later, another of Mouriño's wishes, which did not want to leave.

He becomes more mature and more experienced, and Celta hopes that he will become the ideal partner for the last years of Iago Aspas in the elite. In Balaidos they know that they cannot continue wasting in struggles for permanence the best player in their history, and they want to give it a team to fight for the first celestial title. To do this, the Emre Mor (ceded to the Galatasaray) and reckless and non-performing assignments such as those of Boufal or Boudebouz , suspect for their attitude and adaptation during the past season, were over.

The last to return was Pape Cheikh , who left Vigo for Lyon in the summer of 2017 as one of the most expensive sales in the history of the club (15 million), has returned as a loan with option to buy after not curdling in France. In total there are 11 quarry players in the squad, almost all with a level to be regular holders: Rubén Blanco, Hugo Mallo, David Costas, Brais Méndez ... And he still dreams of a heart that is not Galician, but whose The return to Vigo would be that of another son: Nolito, with whom the return operation would be closed. Now it's time to play.
