In a press conference after the friendly match against Boavista, the Portuguese coach gave his opinion for the next duel this Saturday, and regretted the conditions in which his team is going to play it
The majority of teams in LaLiga Santander including the RC Celticthey are preparing friendly matches, and this time it was against the Boavista of the Portuguese First Division. The commitment was tied at one goal, in a series of several exciting plays at times, but in a more general analysis the match was somewhat boring.
As a curious fact, the Portuguese team was the first rival in the history of the RC Celtic, confronting them on September 23, 1923. Today, after almost a century, they saw each other again but did not harm each other. The Lusitanian coach thanked the support of the fans at balladsbut he also regretted that they cannot see the next friendly match of the Galician club.
The coach thanked the fans present at Celta – Boavista but complained about some things
According to the logistics report in Balaídos, some 3,500 fans witnessed the clash between Celticos and Panteras that ended in a draw. However, for the next friendly match that will be against Vizela, also from the highest category of Portuguese football, there will be no public as it will be played behind closed doors at the Ciudad Deportiva Afouteza.
The decision was made after confirming that Celta B will play that same day (Saturday, December 10) against Cultural Leonesa for matchday 16 of the First Federation. Although the Celtic club had the possibility of changing the scene, priority was given to the official game of the subsidiary squad. Even so, Carlos Carvalhal did not hide his dissatisfaction with that determination.
Carlos Carvalhal and his exact words after Celta – Boavista
The Portuguese coach was quite satisfied with the result against the Portuguese club, but he expects his team to get a win against Vizela. However, this he said before the clash against the Bracarense team. “We wanted to play the game in Balaídos. If we played the game in our stadium, it would be behind open doors, but on Saturday the reserve team will also play”.
Then he added. “I prefer it open, with fans. I loved the predisposition of the people in the stands. I like the presence of the public”. It should be noted that RC Celta announced through its social networks that it will broadcast the match on its YouTube channel for those interested in appreciating the new strategies that Carlos Carvalhal is implementing.
