The explosiveness of the youth squad Hugo Álvarez, who scored the spectacular winning goal, led the comeback this Wednesday in Balaídos Celta before him Athletic (2-1), a victory with which the celestial team borders on permanence LaLiga EA Sportsthen v for the conclusion of the championship.
The two teams appeared with many new features. Claudio Giráldez made six rotations, with the striking substitution of Iago Aspas and the ownership of Iván Villar, motivated by Guaita’s feverish state. Ernesto Valverde revolutionized his eleven much more, since he only kept Unai Simón, Lekue and Berenguer from the previous day.
Cádiz’s victory caused an atmosphere of anxiety and uncertainty in Balaídos, an atmosphere that stunned Celta, which only had one shot from Carles Pérez from outside the area in the first half hour. The players in the light blue creation zone were missing, blocked.
Athletic, better planted, less imprecise, controlled the stage. They surprised midway through the first half with an Olympic goal from Berenguer. The stands fell silent: a good corner kick, a mistake by goalkeeper Iván Villar. The goal further disoriented the Galician team. Athletic pressed with a forced header from Unai Gómez, another from Prados, a high shot from Adu Ares and a poisoned cross from Berenguer. They were not clear opportunities, but they increased Balaídos’ nervousness.
Only in the last minutes of the first half Celta woke up, excited and uncontrolled, with some speed on the wingsto create in just eight minutes a shipment from Williot that Larsen did not catch, a shot from Bamba that Paredes deflected and a good header from Carlos Domínguez.
Claudio Giráldez made three changes at half-time. He brought in Iago Aspas, Mingueza and Hugo Álvarez. Everything was different for his team, the attitude, the speed, the drive. Celta was another. He dominated and locked up Athletic. It had fifteen explosive minutes, with Larsen taking center stage, who sent a header to the crossbar, scrambled dangerously several times around the small area, and tried some threatening crosses.
Valverde wanted to stop the Galician attack with three changes, one of which was goalkeeper Unai Simón. But it was impossible to stop the hurricane. There was an important tactical change: Hugo Álvarez went from the left wing to the right. And the youth player commanded the revolution.
They were three magical minutes: Williot Swedberg equalized by finishing off a cross from Hugo Álvarez, Larsen tested Agirrezabala with a cannon shot shortly after, and immediately afterwards Hugo Álvarez completed the comeback with a great goal from outside the area. It was ecstasy in Balaídos, oxygen to almost celebrate permanence.
