The Celtic activates the countdown of permanence with the debut in the First Division of Claudio Giráldez, the coach of the house to whom the club has entrusted the salvation after the premature dismissal of Rafa Benítez, whose adventure in Vigo has lasted 28 disappointing days. The coach from Porriñés opens fire with a complicated duel against a Sevilla side that is also in trouble (Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán, 2:00 p.m., Gol TV), which aims to get his continuity back on track in the First Division by beating the light blues. The defeat the day before by Cádiz in the field of Real Sociedad has given a respite to both teams, but especially to the light blue ones, who face the duel with the peace of mind that, whatever happens, they will be out of the relegation places and They can, if they win, take a big step towards achieving their goal.
The election of Giráldez, who replaces Benítez in the first team backed by two brilliant seasons with the celestial reserve team, has generated a current of optimism in Celtismo, which sees in the Porriñés coach the hope of a new era marked by a model of game with a more offensive vocation and greater sensitivity towards the youth team. The mandate of the Louriñés, who lacks experience in professional football, is limited for now to the current season, so his future is subject to the performance he is capable of offering in the ten remaining games to be played.
Giráldez has, in any case, taken the bull by the horns and intends to get Celta out of the quagmire with a proposal antagonistic to Benítez’s. If the renowned Madrid coach tried to support his model on defensive solidity and counterattacking, the emerging coach from Porriñés wants Celta to be the protagonist with the ball in the rival field. “I want a brave and aggressive team that dominates the game from the ball,” the light blue coach said yesterday at the press conference prior to the clash.
Quite a declaration of intentions that Giráldez intends to transfer to his players gradually, trying to take advantage of the things that Celta did well with Benítez, but at the same time introducing his idea of the game from this first match against Quique’s team. Sanchez Flores. ANDThe Louriñés does not foresee, in this way, major changes in the lineup, which will not differ much from those that his predecessor had been using in recent games.
Giráldez is expected to maintain against Sevilla the three-center defense that Benítez used at the Bernabéu and in many other games this season, although with a different arrangement of the pieces on the board, with deeper lanes and the idea of searching for the rival to his field instead of waiting for him to respond to the counterattack.
The Celtic coach faces the clash with some significant casualties. Carlos Dotor has begun rehabilitation for his pubalgia after recently undergoing surgery and Mihailo Ristic, Renato Tapia and Williot Swedberg will also be absent due to injury. The Serbian full-back and the Peruvian midfielder were ruled out for days, but not the Swedish attacker, who at the beginning of the week was considered recoverable, but who is progressing more slowly than expected in his recovery from the sprained ankle he suffered at the Nuevo Mirandilla.
But surely the most significant absence is the one suffered at the last minute by Luca de la Torre, who was dropped from the squad due to discomfort in his left thigh that prevented him from completing the last training session. The extent of the injury is yet to be determined and could compromise, if it is significant enough, the American’s presence with his national team on this FIFA date.

To cover the loss of Luca, Giráldez has turned to youth player Damián Rodríguez, the midfielder who supports Celta Fortuna from behind, who could make his debut in the First Division against the Nervionenses. Javi Rodríguez, another of the youth players who has been training all week with the first team, has not finally entered the list, who is made available to Fredi Álvarez, the new reserve team coach, for this afternoon’s important duel against the Leonese Cultural.
Many changes are not expected in Giráldez’s first eleven compared to the one Rafa Benítez displayed on the last day at the Bernabéu. Guaita will maintain his hierarchy in the goal, while in the defensive line the novelty could be Carlos Domínguez, who would relieve Manquillo to accompany the Unai and Starfelt axis from the left profile of the line.
Luca de la Torre absent due to injury, the novelty in midfield could be Hugo Sotelo. The youth player would accompany Beltrán in the midfield, with Mingueza, whose good moment Giráldez wants to take advantage of, and Manu Sánchez (without ruling out the option of Hugo Álvarez that the Porriñés used so often in the reserve team) in the flanks. Aspas, Larsen and Bamba will make up the offensive front.
Sevilla, meanwhile, receives Celta reinforced by the strength they have shown at home in recent days in search of a victory that would expand their advantage with the celestials by 7 points plus the goal differential and would leave their permanence practically on track.
Quique Sánchez Flores is missing from Baldé and has left Januzaj, Veléiz and Rafa Mir off the list due to a technical decision, despite having places on the list. The Madrid coach recovers Joan Jordan and Juanlu, whose participation had been in doubt until the last minute.
