Celta feast of confidence against Alavés

• Direct, that's how we live it

Taking into account that the next rivals were Real Sociedad and Barcelona , the home match against Alavés was vital for Celta de Vigo's interests. Neither Mallorca, nor Espanyol, nor Leganés , the three teams that are in decline, had achieved the three points this day, so Óscar García's team had the opportunity to escape four points from hell.

In half an hour, the Galician goal was achieved.

The Catalan coach decided to start with all the talent he has on the roster. He returned to the defense of four and Fran Beltrán, Okay and Rafinha repeated in the midfield. Denis Suárez and Iago Aspas divided the bands and Smolov was in charge of distributing the game. The bet went well for Oscar. The vigueses arrived with some ease into the three-quarter zone of an Alavés who suffered in the midfield, waiting for some start from Edgar Méndez so that Joselu and Lucas Pérez , his two stilettos, managed to catch something.

At 14 minutes and with a shy local siege, Jeison Murillo headed the net an excellent shipment from Denis, giving some peace to a Celta who had not scored since last February 22, pandemic through.

A couple of plays later, a cross from Olaza was finished off by Okay with his knee and the ball was rejected by Fejsa. Iago Aspas took the thorn out of the missed penalty kick in Valladolid and scored from eleven meters to make it quick 2-0.

In case the day was not being complicated enough for Alavés, Martín Aguirregabiria resolved the duel with a just expulsion with a flat iron on Rafinha's hip. The young winger went to a divided ball without looking at the Brazilian midfielder, and when trying to clear the ball his cleats hit the thigh of Mazinho's son. Direct red.

If Celta was doing better with the same number of footballers, Alavés could not wake up with one more. The game was played in the field of Vitoria, to the visitor's weariness. Óscar's team linked plays very easily and quickly stood up to a Roberto who, despite the result, was the best of his team. Rafinha , with a brilliant shot with a thread to the square and a cross shot signed an express double before the break to sentence the crash even more.

In the intermission, Óscar reserved Rafinha and Garitano for Lucas Pérez , both thinking about the next league match, which will come in the middle of this week.

Alavés tried not to make the 'goal average' too scandalous, but Celta needed confidence and the Basques were already thinking about future occasions. Laguardia, Joselu and Edgar Méndez went to the changing rooms and the light-blue secondary, Brais Méndez, Santi Mina and Nolito linked up to regain confidence in the final stretch. The Andalusian, dressed again in light blue after several years, electric from the start, ended up being the best of the second half when transforming a penalty and giving a millimeter pass to Mina for the final 6-0.

The result, hard for some people from Vitoria who remain nine points above the descent, is an explosion of air for Celta , who stays four above Mallorca, second to last, and beats Eibar before traveling to the Reale Arena in San Sebastián . The vigueses have not scored six goals since April 2015 , against Rayo, in the game that put Santi Mina on the spotlight, who scored four goals.

" This has always been my home, " Nolito acknowledged after his debut, in which he scored a goal and an assist. "Whoever falls asleep goes to the well, you have to squeeze your ass," he said of a fight for salvation in which he will be vital.
