Celta Statements

Carlos Carvalhal spoke after the win against Rayo Vallecano: "We had a very strong tackle and two very clear chances to score a goal. Afterwards, Rayo Vallecano has quality and the match was balanced. We had some difficulties in attacking and we were on the back foot in the first 45 minutes. In the second half, we rectified the positions of Aspas and Seferovic a bit and with that operation we started to gain more space on the last line of defense, which was very comfortable in the first half. And I think that was the key to the match. The key was the team and then, obviously, having a player like Iago Aspas helps a lot." "It's a part of the game. I've already said that I don't like my teams to be classified with a possession or transition pattern, because the truth is that since we started working, we prepare the team to do everything well. If we have to defend, we are going to try to make the team defend well, if the team wants to attack and wants to have the ball, we are going to try to make them do it. The offensive transitions, the defensive transitions, the corners, which we are improving a lot, the defenders, who are at a very high level... It's about trying to arm the team in every way and having a very strong defensive structure allows us to win or tie. That's what led us to the victory".
