While they park their cars, enter the changing room and put on their training clothes, the

Celta

footballers

observe

Eduardo Coudet, the 'Chacho

' (Buenos Aires, 1974), running around the main field of the facilities of the new celestial sports city, located in

Mos

, a municipality attached to

Vigo

.

It is the previous routine of the Argentine coach.

He appears early

, at eight thirty in the morning, two and a half hours before the start of the session, gallops next to

Octavio Manera

, one of the coaching staff's physical trainers and his trusted man, and arrives 'hot' at the minute zero of training, ready to propel your energy to

players whose lives have changed

.

Two months ago, Celta was a lost team, without style, without scheme and with a questioned coach.

Óscar García could

not find a game system, he could not promote his best player,

Iago Aspas

, and he was in a fight with

Hugo Mallo

, the captain, so the celestial direction decided to give a 180 degree turn to the football idea that sat in Balaidos's bench.

He forgot the supposed style of possession that he was trying unsuccessfully with his previous coach and gave the opportunity in Europe to Coudet, who had trained successfully in Argentina and had

Internacional

leading the Brasileirao.

It was a risky bet, but Chacho Coudet's brain remembered ideas that had already triumphed in Vigo with Toto Berizzo:

pressure, courage and confidence

.

El Chacho arrived and

Celta changed

.

He does not give interviews and only speaks at a press conference,

his training

sessions

are all behind closed doors, without cameras,

and in them he works with the classic soccer exercises: rounds and small games of great intensity.

In just 60 days he has managed to have a gala eleven of which only one of the centrals and the companion of Aspas at the tip of the attack has varied.

Nothing else.

Mallo recovered the bracelet, gave

Denis

stripes in the creation

, irregular with Oscar, and has returned the confidence to

Brais Méndez

, who became international months ago.

And most importantly, Coudet has found the best accommodation for the best footballer of the current championship:

Iago Aspas, top scorer and top assistant in the competition.

Confidence in a single starting eleven does not only occur in matches.

During the week,

Coudet separates his eleven of gala of the substitutes

and even orders them to work in separate fields.

The Celta squad has little depth and the coach knows it: he wants the 11 to understand each other perfectly quickly so that the team will notice it on the field.

And what if he does: since the Argentine sat on the bench, the Galicians have added six wins (one in the Cup) in seven games.

He tied in

Getafe

and lost in

Seville

, with Coudet already announced as coach but not yet sitting on the bench.

What works does not touch him, neither the players nor the hobbies that have led him here, such as running before the session.

Today he plays against Madrid in Valdebebas (9pm), if he loses, we will see what changes.

"He

is very close and very direct,

" they comment from the club.

"And they are to death with him. He has changed everything," they say.

More than the football idea,

in Vigo they have fallen in love with his speech

, with his way of motivating a squad that had lost all confidence.

"He knows how to get to the players.

He's very cool,

" they admit.

In the dressing room he has ordered to put a

screen in which the kilometers traveled by each team

or by each player appear compared to the rest of the League.

The sprints, the recoveries ... It is one of his methods to enhance the competitive streak of his people and almost the only technological instrument that he uses first-hand.

In the rest, pure analog:

speech, gestures and the treatment

of someone who was already in Vigo as a footballer in 2002, in the golden age of the club.

Now Chacho wants to create his.
