Berizzo: Celta feet on the ground

Eduardo Berizzo insisted Celta Vigo’s ‘feet are on the ground’ despite beating ‘the best team in the world’ in Barcelona.

Celta took a scintillating 4-1 win from Barca’s visit to Balaidos, with Noltio and John Guidetti adding to an Iago Aspas brace.

“Aspas is lethal to the goalkeeper, when he runs he does very well against the line of the defenders,” Berizzo acknowledged, AS reports, after both Aspas’ goals came from breaking behind the back four.

“We had more chances. We are the winners but it reaffirms that there is a way to play. The game was a reward for my players.

“There were special circumstances that worked in our favour. A lot went in our favour. The idea is to play this way, to lead, whoever the opponent.

“The players delighted the fans. They won the football, and the fans got to see it. I congratulate my players. They were perfect.

“The tactical plan went as we expected. We pressured the midfield and the attackers and prevented them getting comfortable. The players were faithful to the style.

“I saw the team deliver with the play, with the team as a unit, and I’m very satisfied by that.

“We won a great match against a great rival. Our goal remains the same. We’ve beaten the best team in the world but we have our feet on the ground.

“Today the team showed spirit. All matches are played the same way, so you grow as a team. We’re obliged to always try to do this after beating Barcelona, but we have to run as we did today against Eibar.”
