The Celta Herald

A knee injury of the worst kind for Hugo Álvarez
51 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Celta lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Julen Agirrezabala keeps Celta in it on his own
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Giuliano Simeone falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Manu Sánchez in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Celta this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Neo Bohloko’s goal not enough for Celta
Neo Bohloko scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑3 to Real Madrid, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

The Giuliano Simeone question follows Celta around
Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Giuliano Simeone’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.
Market27 Aug 2040
Alavés expected to open talks for Felipe Caballero
Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. Celta will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.

Celta put Jon Garro up for sale
The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. Jon Garro may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.

Jon Reyes leaves for nothing
Contract settled, hands shaken, no fee changing hands. Jon Reyes leaves Celta the quiet way, and the wage bill breathes a little easier.
In brief
