Resino: We had to believe

Abel Resino concluded that Celta Vigo’s achievement in avoiding relegation on the last day was down to their belief in being able to.

The Galicians began Week 38’s round of fixtures in the bottom three, but saw that a 1-0 home win over Espanyol, coupled with Deportivo’s defeat at home to Real Sociedad, was enough for them to finish 17th and guarantee another season in the top flight.

“We believed in it,” Resino reflected to reporters afterwards.

“In football it is important to believe in what you do and to be convinced that you are on the correct path. The boys have performed exemplary.

“Today we had to win and we have won. When I arrived at the club, the situation was difficult. There were few points and games ahead, but we managed it.

“The crowd pushed us once again to a victory that we needed. They carried us and now we are happy and elated.

“There was an accumulation of difficulties that also urged us forward. We have had the mentality to believe that we could achieve it.

“I congratulate all the teams that have been alongside us to the end. I want to wish Deportivo, Zaragoza and Mallorca to return as soon as possible because they are Primera Division teams.”
