The King’s Cup
match-up with Almeria is bringing some fresh air to Celta Squad, as those
players with less or none minutes played in the league will have their
opportunity to prove wrong Celta’s Coach. And Herrera is wishing that to
happen, in the press conference, he admitted that all those players with fewer
minutes will be having their chance, and that he wishes them to shine on Wednesday
to give him more trouble when deciding who should play in the league.
All the 21
players available will be travelling to Almeria plus two players from the
Academy, Levy Madinda (Central Midfielder) and Johny Otto (Right Defender, who
has already played against Osasuna in the league) with both players with high
chances to have some minutes. Natxo Insa’s injury has forced Herrera to call
the Gabon International, and one of Celta’s Academy pearls.
Herrera also
admitted this is a very special match-up, as Almeria is one of the top teams in
the second division, with a philosophy of play very similar to Celta’s. But not
only will that, the winner of this eliminatory, face the winner of Alcoyano vs
Real Madrid, so the motivation is a little bit higher.
