Carlos’s most atypical course

This is an atypical season for Carlos Dominguez. in the dynamics of first team from Celtic, He didn’t miss a single call with this one, but he barely had a minute. Meanwhile, he played for the affiliate in half thirty games, but not until they prevented him from being available for the A team. Carlos Carvalhal He recently said the Vigo man was an “older” player, alluding to the fact he considers him a member of his squad for all purposes — except the record. But he adds less involvement than any teammate in the Primera squad – including williot swedberg— and even that branch members such as Miguel Rodríguez or Paul Duran.

This season, Domínguez entered all lists mentioned by the first team, both with Eduardo Coudet as with the current coach both in the League and in the Cup. His presence in the top was always a priority, but he still participated in only two league matches and one in the Cup. In the KO tournament he had his most important participation, a complete match against Algar, but at the time he was on the bench in remaining commitments. In the domestic competition, Coudet gave him a minute against Girona on the third day —in August— and the Portuguese coach, for the last quarter of an hour in the victory against Valladolidwith the appointment already condemned.

His lack of prominence became more striking when the defensive losses arrived. It wasn’t an option in practice in this scenario either, something the Celtic manager was asked about more than once. “He is a replacement for the central defender Unai (Nunez) and he did not play because there are exceptions. We understand that it was not an ideal match for him, because we also have to protect him,” he said on April 29 regarding the match against him. Elche, in which, with Unai as a substitute, Tapia acted as a central defender. Days before, he pointed out that Domínguez “is a player in the main team and is always there”, something that is true regarding the call-up.

So far this season, Carlos Domínguez has played half a dozen games with B, always starting as a starter and finishing thirteen of them. All your calls from Claudio Giraldez They have a common denominator: either the first team played before or there was a break. Whenever the first team played later, it didn’t fall, and when they played on the same day, it didn’t either.

The call doubling circumstance occurred nine times. Four of them were two days apart, from Friday to Sunday, with trips to Girona—the only place in the First Division after which he later played in the First Federation—, Alcorcón and Fuenlabrado, and home games against Linares and Unionistas. In three, the first team played on Saturday and the secondary team on Sunday, receiving Córdoba, Pontevedra and Badajoz. Elsewhere, Celta A played in Elche on Friday, and the subsidiary played in Balaídos against Racing de Ferrol on Sunday.

The remaining matches in which the player from Vigo was available to Giráldez coincided with the World Cup break, breaks in the leagues for the teams and the brackets for the Cup. This last case was his last match with B. against Fuenlabrada on the 7th of this month. These circumstances enabled them to participate in the bronze category in two derbies and in the home match against Rayo Majadahonda and away to San Fernando and Unionistas.

There is also the circumstance that during the break in the First League, in the month of December, it did not rain for the matches against Algeciras, Talavera and Cultural Leonesa. On those dates, Carvalhal’s team had just resumed work and had several friendlies scheduled, so their presence at these meetings prevailed over the official competition of the branch. He started against Boavista and against Brentford.
