Matarazzo previews Celta visit, weighs options for Real Sociedad | OneFootball

Pellegrino Matarazzo addressed the media at Zubieta on the eve of Real Sociedad’s 21:00 kick-off against Celta, outlining views on his squad, the window and tomorrow’s test at Anoeta.

According to Diario Vasco, new signings Mamadou Sarr and Héctor Fort are available and could play despite limited sessions, while he said Gonzalo Guedes could even be ready to start.

He spoke of numerous attacking options and possible pairings, such as Mikel with Orri or with Gonzalo, stressing the need for balance and match-specific choices. He added that Sanse youngsters may move up or down to ensure they play.

Take Kubo is training very well and, in his view, will return to his best. Arsen Zakharyan is working hard and was urged to stay patient. He praised Fort’s versatility and welcomed John Maisano’s energy on the bench.

Defensive improvement, he said, comes from better understanding of details and from profiles like Sarr, who brings strength and pace. He insisted talks with Jon Pacheco were never about an exit. He views Mikel Goti’s departure as a chance to play and develop.

He confirmed he will watch the match from a box and remains unhappy with the red card shown against Espanyol. He warned Celta can switch systems, so his side must be ready. La Real beat Espanyol 2-1 and want to build early momentum, with Celta still winless after three rounds.
