Bartra stops Giráldez – AS.com

Betis and Celta added a point in an event with more courage than football. Everyone wanted more than they deserved. The green and white team once again exhibited an exercise in impotence in the finishing while the light blue team saw how victory eluded them in the last breath. The half smile Victor Roque. The devastating effect of the couple Williot-Douvikas. Even the Salvador Bartra to write the bases of a tie that does not satisfy either and generates more doubts than motivation in both. All on the day Borja Iglesias returned to Villamarín and received the applause that perhaps he always deserved.

El Betis made it clear that it wanted the ball more than its rival from the start. Pellegrini placed Iker Losada between the lines to help in the construction and get closer to Vitor Roque in each set. Celta waited. He lengthened his bands and exposed some comfort in launching periodic counters. The Verdiblancos found more desire than football in that construction of the game. Sabaly y Perraud They tried to be brave without being brave and only Johnny surprised by breaking lines thanks to his impetus in the pressure. Abde was already Abde. He challenged himself in his careers without the first ones finding fruit. Yes, Celta obtained them in one of their first arrivals. A set piece made the Betic defense tremble and Javi Rodríguez took advantage of a rejection to finish into the net without Rui Silva seeing it. slate hit of Giraldez.

Betis drew its reaction under the same script. Maybe predictable. Maybe too slow. But Celta also influenced it to be that way. Giráldez’s men lost several balls at the start while their counters They did not find the brilliance of Iago Aspas or the presence of Borja Iglesias. There was too much space between their lines. Under that context, Betis expanded its desires. He insisted with Abde and raised the bravery of his wingers. And it was the Moroccan who broke the celestial stability with a measured pass to Johnny Cardoso. The American conquered the area, looked up and handed the ball back so that Vitor Roque punished Guaita with a precise shot.

The restart exposed the same story. More ball than prominence for Betis. More fictitious threats than real ones for Celta. Giráldez moved pieces and positions to have more control of the game, but the idea was left half-finished. Pellegrini was forced to switch to Johnny Cardosoforgiven by Ortiz Arias with a yellow in tow. And there the green and white power in anticipation and balance was minimized. Abde linked up with Lo Celso in a good action that the Argentine did not know how to take advantage of. The spaces were already multiplying and Celta pulled strings more slowly than before. There was desire in Betis. But the hit was once again from the Vigo team. Williot entered the scene and broke Altimira to enter the area and give the goal to Douvikas. Giráldez’s bench did work.

Betis only had the heroic left. Like three days before in Europe. Celta played with the times while Pellegrini handed over his destiny to Bakambu and Chimy Avila. Perhaps the soul could still repair history for the green and white. It was the Argentine who had the courage to steal a ball near the area and launch a cross that Lo Celso combed and Bartra sprayed. The central defender, who had replaced Llorente, saves Betis and punishes Celta with a distribution of merits that was perhaps more than demerits.
