It is Quarry celtic, up to seven regulars in eleven, has been determined break hierarchical status current league, an economic hierarchy up to now coinciding with the sporting one, since all the teams that precede them surpass the celestial ones in budget. And he has achieved it after four consecutive victories, victories that to put in value in their proper measure it is necessary to emphasize that they were achieved at a time when the starting circumstances did not seem the most favorable. Without Tapia, with a physically conditioned blade, with a debutant pulling chevrons in the center of the rear and with the leading role of the less common such as Beltrn, Aidoo or Solari, the people from Vigo managed to make both Villarreal and Betis confront the outcome of this League final with distrust. Very meritorious, of course.

How it was achieved rests, obviously, on the good work of the players on the field of play, a condition of success that is undoubtedly necessary but not sufficient as has been endeavored to demonstrate Coudet, working the miracle of the resurrection team sport. What the hand of the Argentine coach has achieved deserves to be worthy of a slow and individual analysis point by point that will undoubtedly have to be done. For now there are certain similarities or parallels with his compatriot Berizzo, although they clearly differ on who to attribute the success of the team’s performance. While Toto’s formula bet on individual responsibility, Chacho has managed to integrate individual commitment within the group, getting the involvement of each player within each phase regardless of whether it is defensive or offensive. Something very difficult in such a short time interval and, above all, when the team came from where it came from.

And that collective commitment It has generated individual growth in most of the players that today are nothing like the ones we saw before the change. A growth in both offensive and defensive aspects that has affected everyone and, more importantly, without leaving anyone behind. The recovery of the Mina’s scoring nose, the commitment in pressure and the ability to appear to associate Brais, the Denis recoveries and his line-breaking pass, the Nolito’s first touch and his meters covered to defend, the offensive contribution of Mallo, the reconversion of Aspas as a goal assistant… and thus the work of the rest could continue to be highlighted.

This state of mind and game had its transfer before the Getafe de Jos Bordals. The Madrid team lived up to their fame and, despite their difficult qualifying situation, they showed themselves in Balados as a rocky team and well worked in pressure, against which it is difficult to shine and generate chances. Celta had his, took advantage of it and already knew how to manage it to his advantage. Getafe’s opportunities in another situation would probably have meant another ending, but this Celta has caught inertia. A winning inertia with which even matches are won without more merit than the opponents. The routine of victory … that exists, exists.
