New model, the best news

The best sports news of the season Celtic was a complete success of the model change quarry. Unlike other seasons, the team from Vigo opted for a branch with very young people, all local players, with some players who gave them the necessary experience to compete in First Federation. And the experiment was successful because of the sports results, the game shown and above all the growth of the players and their contribution to the first team. In addition, another branch fulfilled its role in The third RFEF and it was confirmed that the agreement with Great sadness He has the consent of both parties to extend beyond next season, the last in force after a contract signed for three years during his time.

The great unknown of the season was Celta B because of the radical change made. The first branch went from an experienced, competitive team with almost no connection to the first team to a team full of homegrown players, always aware of Celta’s needs and this contributed to their individual growth as a collective. The light blues began to charge a fee, they were behind in the table, but as soon as they adjusted to the category, they became a revelation of the team, playing the second stage of promotion in three years.

Along with Gabri and Carlos Domínguez, the first team brought players like Miguel Rodríguez, Pablo Durán, Sotel and Medrano; in the case of the redondelans, he enjoyed three titles in the last part of the championship. The bet, which seemed risky, ended up being successful and served as confirmation that Celta can also go full circle by betting on a home-grown coach like Claudio Giráldez, who in two years took the young A team and the subsidiary to the highest levels of the competition with his own stamp.

In parallel, the agreement with Gran Peña as the second subsidiary also seems to be fully consolidated. Neighboring the Lavadores, they see it as crucial to maintain the alliance to keep the historic entity alive, with Celta serving as the home base to supply the players’ first branch. Everything worked perfectly except for the irregular alignment of Damián Rodríguez due to a ruling that is difficult to understand in a club with such an administrative framework. Deducting those three points deprived C of a playoff fight for promotion to the Second Federation on the last day of the first year in the last state category.

Gran Peña’s contract enters its third and final year on June 30, but all indications are that it will be reissued. The model works.

Unknown about new affiliate players

Carlos Mouriño said at one time that the renewal of Miguel Rodríguez, whose contract expires next June, is on the right track, but remains to be specified. Also, whether his destination next season will be the first team, with a professional record, or B. In the same way, Celta must decide whether Iker Losada and Sergio Barcia will make the jump to the first team, because although they have signed until 2025. The contract obliges the club to declare until June 30. The three are the players with the most options to follow Carlos Domínguez next season at Celta as new domestic players.

three titles

Miguel Rodríguez showed in the last part of the course that he can have a place at Celta in the 23/24 campaign. Carvalhal started him three times and participated in seven games, scoring one goal, and in some duels he showed his speed and quality. In the auxiliary club, he played 27 games and finished with a record of eight goals. The Redondel striker continues to confirm that he is currently the team’s most promising player.

Iker Losada returned to his privileges. The debut and the goal against Real Madrid with Escribá on the bench, far from doing him any good, threw him into a decline of play and emphasis from which he went on to great success this season. The club had great confidence in Catoira at the beginning of the season and 10 did not disappoint anyone. He scored nine goals in 33 games and was the engine of the support team. If Celta does not fulfill the clause, the footballer could find a destination in the Second League.

Sergio Barcia returned to Vigo last summer after spending two seasons at Granada. The central defender has demonstrated solvency and strength throughout the course, and with a contract until 2025, the club must also decide whether to activate the lever of the first team or look for an alternative way out in the form of a loan to accumulate minutes.
