Borja Iglesias Returns to Celta Vigo After Seven Years
After four years at the Celtic reserve team, Borja Iglesias has made a comeback to the club, with a loan deal that will link him to the Vigo-based team this year. The Spanish footballer made his first appearance at the A Madroa facilities, where he spent numerous hours during his time with the club’s reserve team.
Excitement and Gratitude
In front of a large crowd, Iglesias expressed his happiness and gratitude to be back at the club. "I am very happy and proud to be here," he said. "I would like to thank the support and affection of all the people at the club, who helped me to convince myself, even though I was almost convinced, and also my family and friends."
Returning the Love
The 29-year-old striker emphasized the importance of returning the love and affection he received from the club and its supporters. "I hope to return all this love with hard work and enthusiasm and I hope we have an exciting season, which I think we all deserve," he stated.
Sentimental Return
Iglesias’s return was filled with emotional moments, including when his grandmother, Teresa, entered the field, prompting tears of joy. The footballer’s grandfather, a big fan of Celta Vigo, passed away several years ago, and his return is seen as a tribute to his memory.
Loan Deal and Training Sessions
As part of his return, Iglesias will join the first team for training sessions, and he will also be presented to the media on Wednesday afternoon. However, he will not feature in the club’s match against Sporting de Gijón on Tuesday, and fans will have to wait for the friendly match against Gil Vicente next Friday to see him play his first minutes with the team.
Hopeful About the Future
In an interview, Iglesias expressed his optimism about the future. "I am really hopeful. When I arrived this morning, I had the feeling that I had never left. It is a very special place because at Celta I fulfilled my dream of making my debut in LaLiga, even though it was very ephemeral, I always had the thought of being able to really be here."
