One of the surprises of yesterday’s match was the absence of Tasos Douvikas, not so much in the starting eleven, which was more or less predictable, but especially in the second half, when Celta needed to come back and Claudio Giráldez renounced the Greek’s participation , who entered the squad after recovering from tonsillitis.

The light blue coach explained at the end of the match the reason why he did not opt ​​for Douvikas: “He’s been very upset for a week. He has trained for two days with the team and partially. “He spent more than a week in bed, or almost a week, with tonsillitis that hit him very hard.”explained the Porriñés coach, who added that he believes that “Borja was doing harm, he was doing things very well.”

He also explained the last triple substitution, with 10 minutes remaining, when Sotelo, Carreira and Swedberg entered the field: “Borja had space to play on the foot, even in space he did damage. We had to make a triple change at that moment and we preferred to risk putting Mingueza behind center back, and Carreira, who has given us depth in the right corridor.”
