Celta Vigo coach Claudio Giraldez declared in a press conference that Juventus is one of the favorites to win the Europa League, before the match against the Italian team. Giraldez expressed optimism despite his club's injury situation, with several key players sidelined, including Paulo Duran and Borja Iglesias. Despite this, the coach underlined the solidity of the squad and the ability to field a high-level eleven, ready to give their all against one of the best European teams.
Giraldez highlighted the difficulty of facing a team like Juventus, which, according to him, is very complete and has an offensive game led by Spalletti. The coach explains that Juventus has talented players and a physicality that allows them to create spaces, often changing the game system during matches. “We have to defend well and attack well to put them in difficulty,” he added, underlining the importance of a solid defense and a precise attack.
Regarding the previous match against Elche, Giraldez recalled that the Spanish team must be intense and attack with precision. He said that the defense must be well organised, with a low block, and that the aim is to recover the ball and not just stay on defence. “We have to attack well to take the ball away from him,” he said, recalling that the team must be ready to compete against highly talented teams.
Celta Vigo, who have had a difficult season with injuries, are preparing for a decisive match against Juventus. Giraldez reiterated that the team is motivated and ready to give its all, with the hope of achieving a victory against one of the best European teams. The match promises to be a balanced match, in which Celta's defense and attack will have to be at their best to be successful against Juventus.
