Osasuna condemns Celta to suffer

Osasuna wanted to stay as high as possible, a self-imposition so as not to get carried away in any man's land, with no possibility of descent or sneak into Europe in a more than meritorious campaign for the rojillos. He amply demonstrated it. For its part, Celta yearned to seal the category, with Mallorca threatening, once renewed Óscar García Junyent to prolong the new celestial project. The party was moved, vertical, with alternatives and many arrivals in both areas. Mina advanced the celestial team and Enric Gallego tied in an active start, but the gunpowder ran out in El Sadar until in the discount, Arnáiz sentenced the shock in an inertia that condemned the celestial team. The rojillos had already enjoyed several very clear occasions in the second act before the Galician bewilderment, who lost control of the stake as the minutes passed to end up losing their meager booty.

Therefore, a Celta risking and more sharp against the rojillos was expected, despite hiding behind with granite drawing a line of three central plus two long lanes. At nine minutes, there was a rush, Aspas connected with his partner Santi Mina, who scored 0-1. In principle, annulled for offside, but rectified by the VAR that validated it to the joy of the visiting team. Fifth as much of the exvalencianista, pure talent, who put in favor of work the stake of El Sadar, under the sun and Osasuna drag of serve. It was not until the 19th minute that he showed up against Aitor Villar, who was getting under the sticks due to the injuries of his two predecessors, when Enric Gallego finished with the crown. Osasuna's own Catalan striker did not fail in the next, connecting like a bison to the race a spectacular center from the left of Estupiñán, a show, to beat Aitor Villar at point-blank range, initialing the tie to one.

However, it was Celta who dominated possession. Mina had it in a subtle touch of quality that was too crossed. He shouted cursing the miscalculation. Although before the break, the Arrasate team stretched enjoying up to three diaphanous occasions. David García almost surprised again headlong after the exit of a corner kicked by the left foot of Iñigo Pérez with a mismatch of the celestial centrals and Adrián López was able to connect a center to the balcony of the area that Gallego did not reach by centimeters. And the Asturian striker himself launched a somewhat deviated lash that removed the foundations of Celta, which did enough to keep the X.

In the second act, García Junyent sacrificed a central defender, Jorge Saenz, to introduce more dynamite upstairs with Nolito to throw a cable to Aspas and Mina. All ships uncovered. Celta was not worth the tie, but it was diluted. Aspas used the turbo, changed the rhythm, but his threading in the hit came the ball away from Herrera's post. The international forward himself put Herrera's reflexes to the test in another corner kick. It was almost a mirage since Osasuna went on to hit with virulence in the other area. The stake was still alive with arrivals from those of Arrasate, who liked each other.

The rojillos fought each ball and tried to scare a Celtic who did not finish carburing, as in another shot by Arnaiz as soon as he went out on the green, he enjoyed another and a third action in which, rebounding, Roberto Torres ran into Villar, aborting his shot with a merit stop on an afternoon inspired by the goalkeeper. But in the discount, when you were chewing the x, Temperate center of Oier Sanjurjo who was combing the shortest of the 22 with the crown, José Arnaiz, for this time he did beat Villar and debut in the top category.

Óscar: “It seemed that we were very tired from the beginning”

Party rating: “We started well, we had 20-25 good minutes. We went ahead on the scoreboard, but the tying goal did us a lot of damage. They marked us in a play that we had very much talked about and worked on. From there, we were scared with the ball and We were not at all fine. There was anxiety and nervousness. Jorge Sáenz already had a card and we wanted to have someone with personality to be able to hold the ball up. It did not go as we had planned. The rest of the changes were due to physical fatigue. Olaza told us in the Hydration pause that he couldn't take anymore, Rafinha and Mina were also very tired, and Beltrán also told us at half-time. They were changes to try to go for the game because the draw served us little, very little. We wanted to go for the three of us points, but it couldn't be. “

Fatigue: “We had a great game against Atlético, with a lot of physical demand, and I don't know if it was the sun or the heat. For example, Néstor Araújo did not play that game and he also looked tired. We had many games in a row, with the pressure of struggling not to go down. All that affects psychologically and then the legs do not respond to you as they should. It seemed that we were very tired from the beginning. We have to get up and think that we have to win these two games if we want to save the category. “

Permanence: “We are not going to think only that we have to win a game. We are going to try to make the maximum possible points to be calm and that happens to beat Levante.”

Smolov: “He came on warm-up and told me that he had noticed a problem in the adductor and that he couldn't be on the bench.”

Arrasate: “What the team has done has much merit”

Party rating: “The comeback has much merit against a great team. We have gone further, something that speaks to the pride that this team has and that until the last day will keep the flame of competitiveness burning. We came from playing a bad game and we wanted to show another face that has finally been like this. “

Comeback: “It has a lot of merit, because when you do not have such a clear objective and you start 0-1 losing, it is relatively easy to let yourself go, but it was the opposite. We tied for a great action and in the second half we have made merits even to score earlier. The team has not dropped and had the prize in the discount. It surely was our best home game after confinement. “

Claw: “48 points are not reached only with claw, I think the team has football and it has been demonstrated with our first goal. We have many more arguments After confinement, few comebacks have surely been made by the public, and what is today is remark”.
