Overview
- On Sunday, Celta drew 0-0 with Levante at Balaídos after controlling possession and creating a huge volume of chances without scoring.
- The team registered 23 shots, eight on target and at least five clear chances, but two goals were ruled out for offside following VAR checks.
- Giráldez defended keeping an aggressive, vertical attacking plan as his first option while saying a low defensive block is a Plan B when energy or results dip.
- Fixture congestion and European travel have left the squad stretched in a run of eight matches in 29 days, prompting rotation and contributing to fatigue that hampered finishing.
- Young attackers Pablo Durán and Couhaib Driouech drew praise for movement and chances created, yet Borja Iglesias’s continued absence keeps Celta searching for a reliable scorer and heightens risk to their league position.
