The captain is realistic but at the same time optimistic about the Celtic agenda for this season
The flagship player of Celtic RC and one of the captains spoke very clearly about what awaits his team, we mean Iago Aspas and his objective number 1 with him Galician set. The attacker is aware that winning LaLiga Santander is very difficult, especially considering the level of teams such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atlético, Sevilla, among others.
For that reason, the striker wants his team to focus on obtaining a privileged position in the table to get a place in the international competition. But that’s not the target number 1Iago Aspas wants the celtic set lift its first title in the first division even if it is the Copa del Rey.
“RC Celta has everything to fight for the Copa del Rey” Iago Aspas
Specifically, the player referred to Celta’s chances of winning the second most important tournament in Spain, after LaLiga Santander. According to the Celtista captain, they have a team based on commitment, strength and leadership to defeat any rival, and they have been demonstrating this in recent years.
“As it is today we have it closer than a few years ago. We have had the last 2 years 2 big hits. I believe, hope and wish that this year we put more effort into the Cup”. If they achieved the great feat, Celta would get their first national title in the first division, since they had already lifted an international trophy, the Intertoto Cup in 2000.
Celta’s second objective according to the vision of Iago Aspas
Thinking about staying in the first division will always be important, but Iago Aspas looks further and wants a more ambitious goal. They know that their chances to fight for the LaLiga Santander title are slim, but they are aware that getting a place in either the Conference League, Europa League and why not the Champions League, is very real.
The Galician team wants to return to feel the glory of participating and representing Spain in an international tournament, just as they did in 2000. At the moment, Celta has signed 9 contracts, of which 6 have been owned and 3 are loans. As for departures, they have signed 14 players, with Brais Méndez being the most significant.
