Celta de Vigo Coach Claudio Giráldez Addresses Key Transfers and Squad Dynamics Ahead of Liga Match Against Osasuna Claudio Giráldez, the head coach of Celta de Vigo, held a press conference ahead of the club’s first La Liga match at home of the season against Osasuna. The session focused on the latest developments in the transfer market, player availability, and the team’s preparations for the crucial encounter. Giráldez emphasized the importance of maintaining focus on the upcoming game while addressing concerns about key players and the club’s financial strategy. Giráldez discussed the status of Driouech, who is expected to return to training after a recent trip. The coach acknowledged the player’s potential contribution but stressed the need for patience, stating that Driouech must integrate with the team and demonstrate readiness before being included in the matchday squad. “We want him to contribute as soon as possible, but he needs to adapt to our system and build trust with the team,” Giráldez said. The coach also addressed the situation surrounding Javi Rueda, a key midfielder whose future remains uncertain due to interest from Nottingham Forest. Giráldez expressed confidence that Rueda would remain at the club, calling him “important for the dressing room” and emphasizing the club’s commitment to retaining players. “We want him here, and I believe the club will make the right decision,” he said, though he clarified that he does not have authority over transfer decisions. Giráldez acknowledged the club’s financial constraints but highlighted the importance of balancing economic realities with sporting ambitions. He noted that while Celta cannot compete with the financial power of larger clubs, the team’s players have shown willingness to stay despite lower wages.#celta_de_vigo #osasuna #claudio_giraldz #driouech #javi_rueda
