“I am ashamed of the situation, I will give my life for Celta”

Soccer player from Celt Renato Tapia Yesterday he served as captain, without even being one in theory. The Peruvian international was honest, he admitted that the team is not doing well, that extra-football problems have affected them, and that he does not want to deceive anyone or sell things that are not. But he also emphasizes that the locker room believes, that he is embarrassed by the situation and that he will do anything to save the team. He was also honest when he disagreed with Aspas’ words last Sunday.

team moment

“Things outside of football affected the group”

Tapia does not deny that the one in Cádiz was not Celta’s best game, neither individually nor collectively. “There are things outside of football that affect the group, especially mentally. The things we used to do no longer come out; automations that do not take effect. It takes its toll,” he admitted. He revealed that he got up at 3:30 a.m. thinking about what to say in the press room to make fans and teammates believe in victory. “The only thing you can do is believe,” he stressed.

Sharing

“We took feedback back to face the week”

Celtic explained that upon returning to work they could analyze together what was happening to them. “We were able to talk, see what affects, listen to different ways of thinking, positions of each person that the others did not see, feedback that served us to face this week, which will be long, in the best way,” he commented. .

Commitment

“I will leave everything”

Tapia emphasized that he will “leave everything for Celta” where it is needed and said that he is “embarrassed” by the situation and not by what he gives on the field. He reminded that when he signs for this club, the prospects are different. “All the players who come here are thinking about having the best possible season and being able to reach Europe. I had to spend many games on the bench and suffer; I can’t imagine the people in the stands.” But he also mentioned that this is not a new scenario for the entity in its history.

Hubby

“They will save us from this situation”

Asked about the message for Celticism, he said that more than that what there is is a “bump of reality”. His recipe goes through “protecting the group and connecting more than ever with fans.” “Not only will we skip, they will save us from this situation. We need them. I can say a thousand things, but I can’t convince people that things are okay, no,” he added. He hopes Marker will open up because he thinks it will benefit them.

Third parties

“We have to do our homework, there is no other”

The midfielder doesn’t want to know anything about other teams. He clearly said when asked what Barça expects. “We expect Celta involved, who want to come out and kill. We don’t expect anything from the other team,” he concluded. In the same way, regarding the results of third parties, he replied: «We have to do our homework. There is no other.”

Jago Aspas

“He shouldn’t have said that, but he did it because that’s how he feels”

Tapia does not believe, unlike Aspas, that Celta lacks quality: “In the 2019/2020 season, there were world-class players: Rafinha, Smolov, Okay, Sisto, Brais, Denis, Iago… And they saved themselves in the past date” . He believes that his partner “shouldn’t have said that”, but he did it because he was “sorry, not because he was a piece of shit”, because he is someone “good, with a big heart”.

Third parties

“You have to fight for the city, for the shield, for Galicia”

He noted that Celta is the only Galician team in the First League and asked to “fight for the city, the shield, for Galicia.” He added that there are people who are trying to make the club work and that it is now up to them to translate it. “There is no other. That’s the only thing that can be done,” he said.
