Eduardo Coudet has summoned 23 players for this Wednesday's match against the Huesca in Balaídos. David Costas and Jorge Sáenz they are once again off the list by technical decision and Santi Mina, after receiving discharge yesterday, returns to a call. In the previous duel with the Huesca team, the Celta coach appeared in Press conference.
Are you expecting a match with both teams vying for possession?
We both feel more comfortable with the ball and it's going to be a nice challenge. Huesca has been showing very good footballing things, which have not been reflected so much in the table. We have to respect all the rivals and we have to try to make our best game. For us it would be very important to close the year winning.
How does one appropriate the ball against another team that also wants it?
Huesca is also one of the teams that runs the most in LaLiga. It has very good physical numbers. I hope a very attractive game comes out and that we can enjoy it. We like to play at home and we feel comfortable, beyond the lack of public. We always trust what we can generate. We are going to try to propose to have the leading role.
Do you consider Huesca a direct rival?
Yes, one hundred percent. I keep thinking about the main objective, which is to maintain the category. Huesca is a rival that is in a difficult area and we have to maintain a distance from them. He is a direct rival, we do not have to deviate from the main objective. It does not bother me that they talk about Europe, they are the rules of the game, but we have to know that everything is very tight. Two won games propel you up and two losses put you back in a difficult area. At the moment my thinking has not changed.
Is Mina recovered to start?
Due to the type of injury he has had, he has not stopped training and is ready to start. It's a posibility. He is the only striker with clear center-forward characteristics.
Have you been told from the board when the public will return to Balaídos?
Unfortunately I cannot give you a real parameter of when we will be able to have an audience in Balaídos. Obviously, it is something we long for, but the reality is that you have to follow the rules of care. That is the main thing right now. I'm not going to lie to you, that personally, I would love to start playing with the public, but it will surely be done when things are better.
Has the club told you if in January it is going to sign Miguel Baeza and José Fontán for the first team?
I do not know. Hopefully, it would be very good for us to have two more players with a record from the professional group. It would give us two more places to rotate. We could use it very well.
Do you think that any of the three injured can recover in the short term?
Apparently, the one who comes closest to being recovered is Kevin. He's already training pretty hard and he's feeling good.
Have you already spoken to the club about the winter market?
It is not something that we are touching at the moment, we will have to see it from the opening of the market. There are two games left before the market opens and that is where we have to aim. For the moment, they have to excuse me, but I have them misinformed.
