The issue of efficiency in areas

Celta is a team that struggled at all levels, with above-average possession ratios. The data speaks of a well-structured team, whose offensive and defensive numbers are above the overall league average; in fact, it’s a team that starts and progresses well in the game, but is held back by both areas. He lacks effectiveness in attack and is too vulnerable defensively, despite the fact that he has good position and good distances between the lines until it is his turn to defend in front of Iván Villar. Against Barcelona tomorrow, they have the perfect game to change that dynamic. The key to efficiency.

offensive game

Dominant team

Both at the beginning of the game and in the continuation of the attack, the numbers confirm that in most cases it is a dominant team. For starters, the Whigs have 51% possession, one point above average. In 37 games played, the Celtics made a total of 18,144 passes, of which 14,506 (80%) were good, also one point above average. His forward passing accuracy rate is 73%.

ATTACK IN THE COMPETITOR’S AREA

You need alternatives to the drop of Iago and Gabri

Against Celta’s opponent’s goal, it is a problem when he gets into the space. He pays for the decline of core players such as Iago Aspas and Gabri Veiga, because the three strikers — Seferović, Larsen and Paciência — do not have the desired numbers and therefore it costs the team dearly.

DEFENSE STRUCTURE

A team capable of high steals, but weak in their own area

Celta’s ability to steal high, in areas of the opponent’s field, clashes with their vulnerability in their own area. The men from Vigo press well, the distance between the lines is above the league average and this means that it is well balanced, but later, when the opponents reach the space, Celta are heavily punished. It is difficult for him to block shots and place balls.

MATCH

There will be room against Barcelona

With Barcelona in front, their style of play will allow Celta to have space and enjoy opportunities. Surely he will also be able to generate quality moments. In this sense, it is logical for him to lose possession, but the minutes he has in possession will be of quality, because Barcelona, ​​when the team sometimes takes the ball away from them, leaves space. It’s easy for Barca to play between the lines and if Celta do it well, creating spaces, and later the last pass, crosses and finishing, I think the team will have their opportunities.

Rooms for signing the perfect match

You can’t forgive against Barcelona. Celta must use what they create in attack and leave no room for the Catalans in defense; If you’re not efficient at the back, you’re dead against such an opponent. A priori, it is the perfect game to break with everything seen in the last games, which is efficiency in areas. Against Barcelona, ​​if you are precise in your attacks, you will find a team that is not ultra-defensive, but rather a receiving team.

STOPPED BALL

A dangerous opponent for individual talent and a specialist in secondary games

Barcelona are not opponents who make the best use of breaks, but they have individual talent, with good shooters and excellent headers. In addition, it is dangerous in the seconds that are generated from the set after knocking out the opponent. For the Catalans, if you leave them half a meter, they already have to go to the net. Not a second of confusion.
