박주영은 셀타를 패배로부터 구출하려고 노력했습니다 - 풀 레포트와 사진들

Celta once again, Celta paid a high Price for his mistakes, but not only that, Celta was not faithful to his principles, and to do so in Bernabeu is too risky.

Herrera cleared all the doubts about an hour before the game when he confirmed that Bustos was going to play as a starter. This changed the formation from the 4-4-2 that played against Sevilla, to this formation. You cannot compare this formation to the one used against Valencia, because although the display on the field was the same, Bustos cannot be compared to Insa’s. The plan was to be able to make the field big, and have players in all parts of the field, but Celta’s midfielders were never able to play clearly the ball, being overpowered by Real Madrid’s midfield spider web. Modric, Kaka and specially Ozil, did as they wish during the first half. Even Essien had a lot of presence in Celta’s court, despite the fact he was playing as a left defender.

During the first frame, Celta’s players were not able to connect more than 3 passes forward together, and letting Real Madrid play most of the time close to your area is very risky. And Celta took the risk and paid for it. A normal cross from Higuain touched Hugo Mallo’s foot and the ball took a deviation, deceiving Sergio, who so how the ball got to the back of the net out of nowhere. Celta managed to get to the first half with just one goal disadvantage, but with the sensation that something needed to Change.

Even before the first half ended, Park and Bermejo started warming up, giving the hint that one of them could be coming into the field very soon. And just minutes after the second half started, Bustos left his place in the field to Bermejo. This allowed Celta to have two referents up front, who did not let Real Madrid’ defenders to play out the ball clearly. Shortly after Bermejo came into the field Park replaced Iago Aspas, and Celta started to create more danger, with a lot of presence on Real Madrid’s area, but all changed when the referee decided to award Real Madrid with a doubtful penalty. Ronaldo did not miss the penalty, but the Portuguese star did not have his best game. In a day where Messi rescued Barcelona and scored a hat trick against Deportivo, Ronaldo’s stakes for the Golden Ball seems to have dropped drastically.

Celta had his chances with two opportunities from De Lucas and Park, but both denied by Casilla’s. But that shows us what could have been another situation, if Real Madrid were not awarded the penalty, and if Celta could have scored any of the goals. But don’t get me wrong, Real Madrid deserved the victory, but Celta had his chances to be able to bring something else.

Park played very good minutes, and I was really surprised with the fact that was him who took the team in his back and carried him the rest of the game.

Celta did not play his best game of the season, but he was never completely overcome by Real Madrid, but maybe with a more ambitious tactic we wouldn’t have the doubt of what could have happen instead.

Celta will resume training today, with a recovery session. Celta will have a day off tomorrow before starting to focus on Deportivo’s game on Saturday.
