Celta grows at the expense of an Athletic that returns to its old ways

• Direct, that's how we live it

Which resurrection was more solid?

That of the

or of the

?

That was the question that I was looking for an answer in the meeting that opened this Friday a new

.

And the response enjoyed an unexpected forcefulness, both for the great merits of Celta and for the great demerits of Athletic.

The celestial triumph confirms that the '

is being an excellent stimulus for the Vigo team, which for a long time had desperately needed.

They are already

And both have seen a recognizable team and much more consistent than before, which augurs, at last, a season without hardships for a Celta exhausted from living on the razor's edge in recent times.

Athletic, on the other hand, returns to its old ways

.

And that's not good, of course.

The

seemed like an exciting new start and last week's 1-1 against

somewhat kept hope alive.

But against Celta it was again the crude and inconsequential team that it had been until before the last break.

was gigantic (not a shot on goal was added) in a defeat that once again casts doubt on the advisability of the Biscayan coach continuing for a long time at the head of the project.

That he decided to end the game without born forwards does not help much to lessen Garitano's responsibility in a new setback for his team.

Beyond the result, the truly remarkable thing about Celta is that it strengthens its necessary change of record.

It will be Celta de Aspas, as always, but also

The Galician team played with intelligence, temporizing during the first minutes, in which they allowed Athletic to have possession of the ball.

But Garitano's men, except for an early play in which

Celta was well planted behind and the imbalance has never been a virtue of the rojiblanco side, more comfortable on the counter attack than in the positional attack.

Like last week, some dizziness took him out of the game.

Bad sign, perhaps related to the covid that the side suffered.

The second half was going to be very different, with a very aggressive and vertical Celta from the first moment that wiped Athletic off the map.

The consequence was Hugo Mallo's goal at game time, after an elaborate counterattack that was born with a loss to Vencedor in midfield.
